Customer Reviews

In the search for the Great Hall.

First, there was “Reefer Madness" (1936), telling of the pitfalls of smoking reefers. Now there is Mazes and Monsters madness. An undetectable force that you are powerless to resist. Tom Hanks, as usual, fits comfortably in any role he plays. The theme may be a little dated, but it is still fun to watch and speculate, "There but for fortune go you or I". As you have guessed, the story is about a role-playing game that gets out of hand. Tom Hanks plays a person who might not be quite stable, and the addition of this game feeds his fantasies. This leads to a mysterious disappearance. This is more of a psychological movie than a blood and guts type. Before people say what is real or not, different people will come to this movie from different backgrounds, and go away a little closer. “And so we played the game again for one last time. It did not matter that there were no maps or dice or monsters… We saw nothing but the loss of hope and the death of our friend.”
