Don't get me wrong, I'm an occasional fan (though I don't think Ridley's made a good film in a long, long while), but they are massively overrated. Not as overrated as the Warchowski brothers, but still.Actually, nobody let him direct the film. He bought the rights from TSR ages ago and spent years raising the money to make the film. WotC couldn't do a thing about it, as I understand the situation.The question wasn't "What was the general consensus about the D&D movie?" Yeah, sure, it was reviled universally and barely made its money back. So? I would love to see him do the next one because I enjoy watching people do something they love. And I believe Solomon loved making that movie and would die for the chance to do another.Frankly, I'd be disappointed with PJ if he decided to do a D&D movie. He's a genius, he's one of cinema's greatest talents ever -- he has better things to do than a D&D movie. Courtney Solomon is an enthusiastic kid with energy and determination. I wish him well and would be thrilled to see him getting another fun project.</blockquote>
