 Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Mazes and Monsters"
Mazes & Monsters, in case you need to be told without your vast brainpowers assuming the obvious, is a wretched piece of made-for-TV moviemaking.
Most of the movie promotional material would have you believe that you're about to encounter a vast fantasy world full of imaginative creatures and special effects and action sequences, when in reality you're in for a heapful of dull kids, an off-kilter Tom Hanks, and a role-playing game that isn't ever explained in any depth.
Ultimately, Mazes & Monsters is nothing more than a piece of antiquated hysteria over a game that supposedly caused millions of youngsters to abandon their lives and go run around in forbidden caverns.

The film opens as cops rush to the Pequod caverns, where a reporter explains that a missing university student was the "victim of a seemingly innocent game — Mazes and Monsters.
It's kind of a psychodrama you might say, where these people deal with problems in their lives by acting them out." It all sounds a little fishy to me. If most roleplayers dealt with their real life problems in-game, there would be a lot more Quests to Defeat the Crippling Fear of Women.
