Breja: Well, I would definately be happy to see a new, good major fantasy movie. But the whole idea of a D&D movie always felt a little silly to me, not just because of how they turned out so far. I have to point out here, that I'm not big on D&D novels or comics either. You see, for me D&D is all about the heroes increasingly bat-shit crazy plans, incredible random failures and equaly surprising succeses with impossible tasks. It's about talking out of character, pretending not to have meta game knowladge while still trying to use it, hoarding loot etc.
I have not seen it yet, but I own it and I think from the description that The Gamers is probably as close to a "real D&D" movie as we can get.
That's just silly, what you're describing is a movie based on
playing D&D, not D&D itself.
Actually, D&D itself is a terrible basis for a movie since it's basically just a generic fantasy setting in which to have adventures. In the IGN article however they mention the Forgotten Realms which is a campaign setting with a ton of lore, so that's at least a better basis for a movie.
