      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Wow! Would you look at all those producers! You know what that means...a movie with no clear vision or direction. And in that regard, Dungeons & Dragons really delivers. It

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture is quite impressive. The dimly lit dungeons are nicely defined with excellent shadow delineation.

    Reason #45 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

I have always stayed glued to the reviews so that I can choose where my dollar is going to affect the greatest impact in my system. When you have a tight budget to work with, even the smallest purchase decisions make a difference.
