A Disappointing Continuation

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

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

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.

I have been a gamer for over 20 years and these guys have it all right. I cannot remember enjoying a film so much. All the bickering, arguing and gamer jokes are all represented at my gaming table. Even non gamers, I believe, would have a fun time watching this, and even though the budget is low, it more than makes up with the filmmaker's energy creativity and humor. You even start to get into the gamer's lives outside of the table and start to identify with them on a personal level. I hope to see more of these creative individual's talent in future productions. This actually became one of my favorite movies the first time I watched it. Kudos to you all and keep it up!!

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.

I was laughing so hard most of the time I had people glaring at me because they couldn't hear over my laughter. I literally fell out of my seat at a specific point.I'm a Bartender and Bouncer for a living in the Real world (note my use of the term Real world, sadly it always has to come first), and whenever I tell someone I play RPG's, it's usually followed by one of two questions: 1. What, like D&D? I played that back in Junior High.2. Really? I've been looking or a group forever! Have room for another? Very rarely do people not know what D&D and Gaming are.That having been said almost every person who watches this movie can get something out of it. Even if you aren't a Gamer, chances are there is something in your life you "Geek Out" about that can be made fun of in a light hearted way, and that alone means you can relate to the hijinx in this flick. It's just light hearted happiness in an hour and a half.
