[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 2498560, member: 12332"] Record of Lodoss war was pretty D&D-ish. I guess the biggest problem that I had with the original movie was that it was a really really stinky movie that had nothing to do with the source material. I LIKE Final Fantasy: Spirits Within. For the movie. I thought the animation was nice, the storyline was decent, the watching of it entertaining. The D&D movie I didn't even get the pleasure of sitting there pointing out iconic monsters. "Is that green-painted guy an orc? Why is the tallest person in the party the dwarf? What's that guy supposed to be?" The beholder that had nothing in common with a beholder. The dragons that have no intellect. The one tall, majestic, african-american elf in a sea of tiny tribal halflings ... and one old elrond reject ... racially, totally nonsensical. It was somebody's horrible fantasy novel that would have only seen print at a vanity press ... getting made into a movie. Short on funds, bad production values, over-acting ... all forgivable, if it would have just been a D&D movie. So if this movie has some actual elements of the frickin' game in it, I promise to go see it in the theater. --fje [/QUOTE]
