what can i say . i be a movie lover and game player and game designer and so of course i be go to see flaws others will not . however and this movie doesn not really have anything outstandingly bad . it do have some dumb spot and so i will cover those quick and get them out of the way represent 1 ) a mage summon a creature of fire in the library of priceless lore and nobody be concern or tell her do that outside and then they wonder when thing catch fire . 2 ) a pit or floor trap with spike that shoot up from below in an elevated hut where there be clearly nothing visible beneath the floor once theyre outside again . 3 ) a lot of single line that be too b in feel and distract from the atmosphere of the movie . now and on to the good stuff . like role play game themselves and this movie take a little get use to . it easy to spot a single bad line or act of stupidity by a hero ( and there be plenty of them ) and but i ask represent if every movie hero never make any mistake and would we really like them . gamers make mistake . it help the feel of the film . the script be very well put together and balance the two very different realm of a good game adventure and a plot that work within the style of a movie . the reference to the d and d literature ( both rule and classic ad and d module ) be very good and the plot make sense and it incorporate plenty of d and d style and and it have a different feel to it . this do not feel like a tv movie and but it clearly isn not lord of the ring and either . but it not try to be . what be nice about this movie be that it be simply try to be itself and and the feel of d and d come through nicely because of that . i think they do well with what they have to work with ( continue a horrible initial film story and low budget and and probably competitive producer a well ) . all i can say be that and both a a gamer and a fan of fantasy film and i be satisfy . if i want high drama and epic film making and that what lotr be for . i will put this d and d movie on the same shelf a army of darkness and the mummy and as good adventure romp that i will watch again and again .
