So, what do we have? We have that the film industry isn't excelling in the fantasy genre, so we can't point to a decent film that deserves a six and a half or seven and, being spoiled, call it extremely mediocre, pointing to the availability of a wide range of masterpieces. Therefore, when an accusation comes from a D&D fan that an objectively decent, average film with a similar name is extremely mediocre, it is classified as a D&D fanboy's butthurt, who didn't see the level of The Lord of the Rings or Avatar and got a reason to gloat when his "elite hobby" wasn't presented in as perfect a form as he would have liked.
