Kinda funny. They picked the same "historic heroes" than in "Night @ the museum"...

Why do the american producers always put Roosevelt in those kind of reunion ? Great man, great impact, but as a military strategist, for the US, I choose Patton..

Roosevelt has more historical cred - his dress and mannerism make him more a part of a lost generation, while Patton and Ike are from the part of our history books that we never even got to in high school.

I watched about two minutes of the opening, and about two minutes of the middle, and I got the basic idea. For a Risk movie to truly reflect the board game experience, it has to go on for about four hours and end with one of the actors getting frustrated and going home.
