Anyone seen it? Is it awful?

    It’s a great fun movie. The plot’s great, the pacing is great, the references are great, the comedy is great. It’s a fun adventure with a relatable team of misfit heroes.

    It takes some liberties with the game mechanics to accomplish this. If you can’t forgive that, you’ll have a rough time, especially if you like wildshaping druids and spellcasting bards.

    It’s a cute movie. Some scenes are funny to watch because they reminded me of what my group would come up in a situation.

    I had a great time watching it. It’s definitely worth checking out even if it’s not for you. There’s enough fun to justify it.

    Recently watched it. As a DND movie I give it 9/10, a nearly perfect DND movie

    As a movie, maybe 7/10. It doesn’t take too many risks, and it won’t make you cry.

    It’s like a dumb heist movie, and very enjoyable.

    You people don’t understand how grateful I am that this movie wasn’t shit. It was very ‘safe’ sure but I don’t care. This movie was good enough to warrant a sequel and that’s all I ever wanted I am ecstatic about this movie.

    It is funny, charming, and ISNT HORRIBLE! We might get sequels! Shows! I don’t care! It just isn’t a shitshow most game-movies are

      I loved how it referenced a ton of things from D&D in terms of both tabletop stuff and TSR novels etc, but didn’t try to cinematize the plot of any book in particular nor really focus on any particular book storyline etc.

      I honestly loved it. I felt it was a decent movie with lots of easter eggs and iconic lore/characters in it, that was made by somebody who appreciated the source material. This is as opposed to say, the Mario movie which felt more low “let’s toss in as many game characters and references as we can, then add some plot to that”. D&D was a savory soup with just about the right amount of spices, meat, and vegetables.

      Mario was still an ok soup, but it had less broth/base and an almost overwhelming number of chunks of stuff in it.

        Lol the party from dungeons and dragons was too old. The kid was like an adult. It was a funny reference but maybe should have stayed in the background.

    It is some times campy, but in a good way. It doesn’t take itself too seriously. Overall al lot of fun and a lot of great references for fans.

    Highly recommend it!
