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.
Frankly I hope they don’t make a sequel. I’d be happy for another one with different characters, or maybe a spin off based on one or two of the party, but they should let this be a standalone success
