Dungeons and Dragons
- Rating:
- Director: Courtney Solomon
- Starring: Jeremy Irons
- Details: US / 108 mins (12PG).
In which the cult game gets the big screen treatment to no great effect. The spooks, goblins and dragons are all well rendered, as are the animated cityscapes, but the script is woeful and the narrative is a hodgepodge pick 'n' mix of every action movie you've ever seen. What did Jeremy Irons think he was at?
