One of the funniest movie reviews I've ever read was about the First D&D movie.  In it, the reviewer compares Wayans with Jar Jar binks, among other things.  I can't remember who wrote it, I believe it may have been Harry Knowles at Ain't it Cool, but I'm not sure.

It's worth looking for.

Could not agree more.
Least they could have done was spend some money on animation.

I think I have tried to watch this 2 times, I'm sure the first time I fell asleep in it, the second? Usually I remember a lot about every movie I see, but for the life of me I can't remember a single thing about this movie..

I saw the DL movie. I think part of the reason it was as bad as it was is due to it being produced like a TV series rather than taking the time and effort animated movies normally take. TV animation is usually poor by comparison, probably due to deadlines and cost of production.

Knowing bbarsh's love of DL, and the way this thread is going, are the DL graphic novels any good? I've got their prices marked, which is fine.

For those of you too cheap or too lazy to purchase Dungeons & Dragons #1, here is a preview:

D&D #2 appears to be a module variant as well.  Search for "Dungeons" on this page:
