Review: 'Dungeons and Dragons' is horrid live action version of cartoon and classic game


Dungeons & Dragons   PG 13           
            Courtney Solomon and crew evidently never played Dungeons and Dragons, nor did they consult anyone who was even remotely a mage, not even a dungeon master, because this was horrid. Nothing like the game. This is Atari Adventure compared to Dungeons and Dragons, and that's an insult to Atari Adventure! When a young princess goes off on an adventure to seek a powerful item to cure her people, bad guys crack stupid jokes and chase after her. The only quality moment, the senate scene. It was downhill from there. The dragons were actually lumbering and stupid, when in the game they were smart. The sorcerers are powerful, but not in this. The skeletal dude was not from the stories. They were thinking of Goonies. Yikes, that even insults Goonies. Horrid, horrid script didn't help.
