[QUOTE="ilgatto, post: 8983750, member: 86051"] Heh. I was going to argue that TRoP is actually more like what one could expect from a high-fantasy movie - and therefore, perhaps even a D&D movie - but I thought better of it for many reasons. :) I've wondered what a "D&D movie" should look like and I can't really come to a conclusion. I mean, there's so many things one can consider D&D that the whole thing is probably a matter of taste. I suppose one could even argue that the first D&D movie is actually very much D&D because of its attempt to tell a heroic and fantastic story ... and then failing.:) As far as the D&D movie is concerned, I've always thought it was gonna be a Marvel-esque collection of video clips one after the other, with some clever dialogue and monsters and things D&D in it instead of superheroes. Hollywood and the streamers have become quite good at this these days and that, combined with the CGI of today, made me hope that it would be an enjoyable experience. Judging by what I've heard and read so far, it seems that the movie is quite good at what it does, so I'm quite looking forward to seeing it. [/QUOTE]
