In the early days of Dungeons & Dragons, James Dallas Egbert III disappeared. Articles and a book needed to get out before the actual facts were uncovered because OMG THIS HERE KID PLAYED HIMSELF A WEIRD GAME and that made for a fantastic story. Things turned out to be far less sexy but hey... movie! Mazes and Monsters tends to get watched because it's an early Tom Hanks movie. Some people love it then go online to rave about the thrilling psychodrama they just witnessed. Others get through to the end and go "wait... that was it? What. The. Hell." I'm . . . not a fan of it. At all. The thing is a TV movie. Sub-Lifetime level. Sensationalist, irresponsible, trash that shouldn't have been made. The Egberts deserved better.
