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

so right out of the blocks something is amiss. That would be like me
writing the Harry Potter script without having read any of the books.
Having said that, I have to say that Fight Club was one of the most
overblown, overdone, and overlong pieces of film I've ever seen. (But
again, taste is an individual matter.)
