...group of non-beer-drinking, role-playing geeks (who seem to be involved in a real life version of Dungeons and Dragons, or something equally cool). At this point, our aluminum-clad heroes rush down from above and land heavy blows on the role players—the dork playing the knight, for example, gets smashed with a hammer made from a five-liter keg can. But Red Fang hasn’t learned the very valuable lesson that the “Revenge of the Nerds” movies have taught us. And thus, their victory beer...

He should have stuck to the subject of his review without making backhanded insults about members of the armed forces. Grossman also called director Zack Snyder a "dork" for having read a comic book about the Battle of Thermopylae. Professional warriors in our armed forces read Thucydides, Clausewitz, Sun Tzu and Herodotus. I challenge Grossman to call those members of our military dorks. Walt Stachowicz, Inverness, Florida...
