SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

razoredge-34061 ****SPOILER ALERT****I am a die hard RPG gamer. I have been since I was the age of 6. Familiar with the musk of a bunch of dudes that forgot to put on deodorant (or didn't bother to) and rolling the dice to see the fate of my characters. This film pictured EVERYTHING from my old life in one half-hour package. The arguing between the Dungeon Master and the Rules Nazi, the bro that died about 10 times... even the comic relief sorcerer. This movie had it all.****NOW FOR THE SPOILERS*** The low-budget indie film industry always have had bad reps because of low graphical effects and because the kids weren't seeing stupidly overbearing CGI or any of that. But the jokes of this, became clear... That it was going to be a wild ride, and in a VERY good way. Between the girl going as a killing-fighter, instead of the classic tank everyone expected her to be, to the Bard that couldn't stay alive longer than 10 minutes, it all meshed perfectly. The funniest parts, include the bard's attempts to charm and pacify, which fail numerous times, but also work a few times in the funniest of ways, as luring the paladin outside so they could torture the demon for info, and charming their old peasant in the last dungeon to giving them all the stuff, to the lightsaber, chainsaw, and 12 gauge shotgun in a medieval setting RPG, it was glorious. The turkey came back to life and killed the bard which I almost fell out my seat about, and many, many more. (Irony is that the bard in D&D 1st Edition had the most hitpoints of any class and was almost impossible to kill) The red sorceress's player kept forgetting his character's gender, the monk kept making sly Eastern-style quotes (wouldn't call them quotes... more like play-on jokes) and driving the dungeon master insane. This RELIVED my childhood up to my late teens.****Spoilers End****All in all, this movie delivered gamer-based fun that was dumbed down enough by the new girl so that anyone can understand, and in a way that maximized their low-budget. A great sequel to the first and I want to say this movie is grossly under-rated on this site. 7.5 is not accurate. This is at least an 8 to 8.5... Easy. It had a straightforward plot, great action scenes (for the budget) I would call it EXCELLENT writing, and overall just a hilarious work of art. And I recommend this movie to anyone that has a good sense of humor. You are bound to find one of these characters able to relate to, or you can find someone you know that you could relate them to. You also get to know the gamers on a personal level as well, which make this movie have great character development. Don't be discouraged by the slow beginning. Get past the first party wipe, and you will NOT regret it.

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain The makers of The Gamers present this extended sequel. Now running at feature length, the premise is still entertaining but stretched a bit thin. The quality is raised ever so slightly in terms of acting and technical aspects. There are also much funnier lines which is always nice. The film-makers have tried to add some further arcs in terms of the characters and their characters within the film, but these don't always succeed. Some say you have to be a gamer to get this film, but I would disagree. It's just a bunch of guys using their imagination for escapism, and they've managed to craft a film that can help you escape just as well.

imdb-21622 I am so impressed, really. I expected cheesy gamer humor and nothing else.OK, there's a ton of pretty geeky humor. But the movie is so well done. The acting is quite good.The dialog, while gamer cheesy at times, I guess to cater to the gamer crowd, is not bad at all. At times it's even, dare I say, great.When the female gamer, who built this non traditional fighter type character rather then the usual (min/max) type gets all these additional attacks (seem right, I did not check the rules,) it was cool.The sets are amazing for what must be a fairly low production movie.The story moves right along. The transitions from game world to real world are well done. A male playing a female character would sometimes be played by a female, and sometimes by himself. Pretty clever, I thought.The guy who decided to play a female, but kept forgetting he was female was good for a lot of laughs. He even said tag at one point, and the female walked on to play the role ( sorry, I did not look her name up, she did great though.) The guy always trying to "get some", got a bit tedious, but I guess that was more gamer humor.There was just so much to like about the movie. Lighthearted. Fun! Very well done and I am saying that as a movie fan, not a gamer (and I am not a D&D player.) As I said I expected SO much less.Movies often don't hold my attention, I end up listening to them while working on my computer. This one held my attention. I can't give a movie much higher praise.

hausofkrause I don't play video games at all but my children do.I got a big kick out of this. Would like to see more of this type of film. "very cool" as my youngest would say.Interesting characters and the overall story line was interesting. Like I said I don't play video games but I think that my children would enjoyed this. It was not full of bad language and that is a pleasant change. This visual concept was different which caught my eye. Plus the sound track was pretty good. I might even try out some of the games my sons plays to see because of this film. Who knows maybe I'll be a gamer someday.
