I liked the movie, and it was part of a deal through my DVD club, now back to the story). I was checking out the extras and watched the little "History of Role Playing Games" documentary/marketing pitch. There was the movie's director, and some marketing guy from New Line Cinema, even the then-CEO of WOTC talking about their early gaming experiences.And I was completely underwhelmed. If I hadn't been playing D&D for 20+ plus years already, that documentary wouldn't have interested me in starting to play now. In fact, it was so bad, it made me want to mail my core rulebooks back to WOTC.I also was less than thrilled with some of the deleted scenes they included on the DVD. They didn't finish the special effects, so some of them just look stupid. Especially the one with the dragon egg -- in some of the shots you can see the edge of the blue screen behind Josh! It was so bad, I almost fell off the sofa laughing.If you aren't going to go to the trouble and expense of finishing the special effects for the DVD extras, don't include the scenes at all.</blockquote>
