If your not a gamer, you won't really care about this movie. Even as a gamer and DM, I could relate to the characters presented but didn't laugh my ass off at any one part. It was just an entertaining side trip that most game groups can relate to.
You know that one thing at that one gaming session you had that made everyone laugh. You know when you tell it to other people and they think its funny but not as funny as you did. Thats about where this sits. I had a 12 hour shift to kill and I would have rather have been staring blankly into space than to have watched this.
This movie is fabulous if you can get past the cheesy low-budget special effects (not a problem for my group of die-hard B-movie fans).
After showing it to my gaming group, it has rapidly become the most quoted movie at our gaming table, even surpassing "Monty Python and the Holy Grail!"
I’m a long time Dungeon Master/Storyteller (working on 26 years now). Hands down this video is mandatory viewing for my fellow DM’s. Like another review stated, if you’re not a person who knows about D&D or have never been a DM, then you’ll be clueless to most of the humor. But if you have DM’d or have a good background with D&D, this movie is going to be a ‘fantastic’ and ‘hilarious’ journey. I completely understand that budget mandates goodies/extras as well as special effects within the movie; however in this case, the whole sense of the movie is more genuine because of the bad effects. Now that there’s a DVD out that has “Family Friendly” viewing options, my step-son will be allowed to play the movie at his gaming school function; I’m so proud of’m :-).
On a more negative note, if you’re a fan like I am, you’ll find out that trying to contact the cast, crew, or even try to utilize the web-posted ‘contact’ altogether are dead-ends. I’ve sent email; with a non-existing mailer daemon, I tried again via email with no response. I called via the phone number listed and left a voice mail – no callback. I even went as far as writing a letter and mailing it to the address listed on the official web site…again…no answer. So…I’m sure they like the fact that they have fans. And I’m sure they like our money…but don’t expect to get any kind of response when attempting to make contact directly (even the posted methods listed on: http://www.the-gamers.com/contact/).
Other than blowing-off their fans – EXCELLENT MOVIE and more importantly – GAME ON!!!!
I bought the original VHS of this back in the day. Then got the DVD. The VHS was hard to swallow for me because there were no special features in it to speak of. I hoped that the DVD would at least have the Dead Gentlemen signature blooper reel. I was not let down as the features were JAM PACKED. It was everything I wanted and stuff I wanted after I watched it.
With that out of the way, this new DVD provides nothing new to top that. A few revamped special effects definitely helps the visual appeal, a few good skits, and Revamping Doyle. This DVD should have been Dead Gentlemen Rehash (No that's not a bad thing). With the long awaited Revamping Doyle, the online podcast show that they promised would be on DVD, and a sketch that never made it to air but was funny anyways... it really is a good addition to the set of DG DVDs I have. However, if you're just a fan of the Gamers and wish to have a really in depth DVD on just that... go with the other one that's available.
Low budget notwithstanding, this film is incredibly funny.
Early in the movie, there's a scene where the party's thief, Nimble, tries out a couple of his "thieving skills" in a tavern. I guarantee that you will be hitting either the pause or rewind button on your dvd player because, if you don't, you'll miss the next five minutes of the movie from laughing so hard or you'll just want to see that scene over a few times.
The Gamers is packed with little gems of humor like this. During our monthly gaming gatherings, if someone has to level up their character or roll a new one up, we'll pop either The Gamers, Gamers, or one of the discs of the 80's animated D&D series into the dvd player and let the other players watch. It's a great way to have a few laughs with your gaming buds.
While non-gamers are likely to get a chuckle or two out of this film, gamers will be splitting their sides with laughter. Highly recommended.
This movie is funny and now with the family safe version it can be loved and adored by the whole family...this is a must have for the real gamer. The sequal is even better.
