local burnt out bookworm slash former english major girlie finishes reading one (1) book in a month and somehow tells herself she can go back to her old reading habits, in which she read five books a month (spoiler alert: this is unlikely to happen, as her goodreads book goal has been getting depressingly lower and lower over the last four years)

But it is obvious that the values of women differ very often from the values which have been made by the other sex; naturally, this is so. Yet it is the masculine values that prevail. Speaking crudely, football and sport are ‘important’; the worship of fashion, the buying of clothes 'trivial’.

I am happy to report that the D&D movie is:

1. Fun

2. Funny

3. Well-written, with an actual *plot*

4. Well-acted

5. Pretty; both the sets and CGI are believable, if not 100% realistic, which works fine with the tone of the movie

6. Clearly created by people who actually enjoy the genre
