Just watched the D & D Movie

Yeah, i agree with you all, the movie is a piece of shitt.
I hope that Lord of the Rings is better,
they have better actors.

I have not seen the film yet (The trailer and reviews put me off) but how the hell do you sneak past a beholder?

I don't think they can point their eyes downwards

It's been a long time since I saw a movie of that caliber. However, there were two things I liked about that movie--the Czech countryside (it's a lovely place to visit) and Tom Baker (jelly baby, anyone?). Speaking of Mr. Baker, even the worst Dr. Who episodes were better than this movie....

I haven't seen the movie, but would like to make the following mitigating points

1] tough topic, yeah? No one will agree on the minor details and even the wider picture will be ruined. Its hard do a film on this kind of subject matter

2] At least it was made and surely that indicates the genre as a whole is undergoing a bit of a revival (it was truly dead there for ages)

3] Its easy criticise, but rather like Starwars the Phantom menace, the hype was too much, you either get it dead on (X-men) or you make a pigs ear of the whole venture.....

I saw the movie and I was not impressed. What I saw in the movie is a badly played, badly written D&D module with lousy NPC and very wierd GM - cruel bastard sometimes, too forgiving otherwise. And btw, in the end they simply go back to Real World(tm)
However some things were clearly taken from a possible module. Like the scene where Snails dies. I can see GM telling him: On one side you see 3 floor drop onto a grassy field, on the other side you see a powerful warrior, who just almost killed you, what do you do? (well the smart thing to do would be to jump down, he as a thief would not sustain much damage) And what do the character do? the dumbest thing possible! Attack a high level warrior, while wearing no armor and wielding a dagger. At least I was hoping he would throw it, for crying out loud!!!!!!!!! And of course, GM had to put such player out of his misery. and That's my impression.

DonkeyWan-
You have to see it.
There is really nothing at all good about it.
Believe me, I tried to find something.
After seeing the trailers and pictures of the upcoming LORD OF THE RINGS, the trailers are more enjoyable at a minute and a 1/2 compared to the hour and 45 mins of that trash.
I am still angry at the fact of renting it for $3.

Borzian is right, there was no real story and the dwarf "NPC" was a lousy actor. Dunno where they picked him up - he wasn´t even really short. Also, the story faded from one place to another and you didn´t even realize why or when they had gone there. The positive aspect was the girl who played that mage. Whoa! Was she cute, or what?!
