Hey all.... (I am placing this in lugnet.year.2001 only because there is no lugnet.studios group- since it's moved into a full-blown theme, should there be one?) I went to the movies on Saturday night to see "Dungeons and Dragons". Before the movie (...) (23 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

(...) I'd have to say in the movie. Yes, I've seen better, but it wasn't bad. eric (23 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

(...) A movie like that really has big shoes to fill, since it's competing against the imagination of millions (?) over 25+ years! Anything they tried would be bound to disappoint some viewers, I suppose, but I'm glad to hear it wasn't too bad... (...) (23 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

(...) My biggest problem with it, as a D&D player (although I haven't been in a campaign for a couple years now), was that the characters didn't act like D&D characters. I mean, I got a good chuckle at a couple of points imagining the interactions (...) (23 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

I saw that too, as a advertisement before "Meet the Parents". Pretty cool, I thought, to see it advertised so mainstream. And a great place to advertise it too. Very precise marketing.

Nice going eric, at least you found something to laugh at. From Yahoo Movies (URL) and Dragons (2000) Critics Reviews CNN.com: Dumb & dreadful - "...so poorly executed, you start to feel like you're watching the world's most expensive script (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

(...) <snip> Blah, blah, blah. I will freely admit it wasn't the best movie in the world. But I had a really good time at the movies that night, and it wasn't *in spite* of the movie I saw, it was because of it (and, having seen both Bats and (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

(...) Taste is, of course, an individual matter, but since the movie was attempting to be about D&D, it was beholden in large measure to the spirit of the game. As you yourself point out, the "writer" never played the game, so right out of the (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001)

(...) Perhaps unfortunately the same can be said of Lord of the Rings. I have much higher expectations of that since it probably also has the budget and background to make a much more serious effort. John #388 (23 years ago, 12-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001)
