Q. The recent Dungeons & Dragons film was almost universally maligned by gamers. What was your take on it?
As a grade B production it was mildly entertaining.
As a D&D film it is akin to something that feel out of the back end of a horse. From the smurf-eater to the little wooden empress, from the Boris Karloff imitator to the giant dwarf mugging for the cameras, the acting was terrible. The story was bad, the writing was awful, the costumes were pathetic, the direction was off, the sets were fair in places, the camera work passable, and the special effects okay. Was there music in the show? Hmmm. Guess is was pretty unremarkable, so. Some of the special effects were good, though.
I loved the "Harry Potter" movie, and the first LotR was great too!
