Sinbad Movie

[Mercule]

IMHO, D&D is already "over the top" and "cinematic" enough, provided the player characters are high enough in levels. (I estimate Sinbad in this movie is, oh, a dual-scimitar-wielding rogue/fighter 7th/3rd, with at least a Dex 18 and maximum skill points in Tumble, Jump, Balance, Climb, etc.)

Actually, a lot of his moves made me think of my lvl 9 Acrobat. I don't dual wield, but I've got obscene Tumble, Jump, etc.

One scene we had last week involved me under the influence of a Freedom of Movement spell, under water, with Boots of Striding and Springing and a Ring of Climbing. I was ambushed by something that cast Deeper Darkness, so I boogied. After a brief run, I leapt out of the water and grabbed hold of the cavern wall a good ways out of the water, and then kept on moving.

I saw it this afternoon and I really enjoyed it. Very good action and storyline, plus some of the best mixing of computer-generated and traditional animation I've ever seen. I'll definately be getting it when it comes out on DVD.

I didn't mind the move. I didn't think it was worth the box office price of $8 where I saw it, but it wasn't bad. I'll probably buy it at some point to let my daughter watch it.

Saw it last weekend. Really good animation, but poor stereotyped (sp?) characters and the script lacked imagination.
