[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8137604, member: 6801845"] Why a D&D movie? Well, for me D&D represents a type of fantasy that is not particularly well represented in movies. High magic, but not completely dominated by wizards. Lots of different types of monsters, not just dragons. Stories built around teams working together bringing in different strengths, not an individual. There are certainly aspects of D&D in a wide variety of movies, but I think a well done D&D movie could have a very different feel to it. It's one of the reasons I'll be interested in watching the Vox Machina D&D series when it finally gets to Amazon Prime. On the other hand saying that a new movie if/when it is ever released will be bad because of past movies is like saying there can never be a good superhero movie because the 1990 version of Captain America scored an 8% on Rotten Tomatoes.
