MODERATORS
The druid uses a sword. Made of metal.
Other than that it was entertaining, however from a critical standpoint it seems like they tried to fit too many storylines into a movie that wasn't long enough to support them. Could have easily been 2, or 3 movies worth of content.
Much better than I thought it was going to be.
I thought it was a lot of fun. Not a D&D fan though, so I'm not sure what the hardcore fans thought.
I thought it was great! It was enjoyable for me (D&D player) and family/friends who have never played D&D.
It was a really fun movie, and while not top-tier cinema I'd definitely rate it as good. The actors did well, the dialogue was great, and there were so many easter eggs.
And you definitely felt in parts that it was a D&D game. The characters doing stupid things, the GM throwing a lifeline here and there, the sequence of combat in some of the battles...
I'm sad it came out at a bad time, I think it could've done better.
It's actually really good. I highly recommend it. It's a fun fantasy movie on its own, plus it has good comedy and satisfying references
It was fun, but the CGI was dated in parts. Overall, glad I streamed it instead of seeing it in theaters
I didn't think it was. I'd definitely be down for more movies in the dnd universe though if this was an example of what they'd be doing if that helps at all. Probably not a theater level movie but a good home movie or fun with friends watching for sure.
I'd say it's okay, not bad and not particularly good.
Good fun! Not an amazing movie but thoroughly watchable. I don't know a lot about D&D and at no point did I feel like I was missing some necessary background info.
It's not. Really fun and well made
It's good in a cheesy, nerdy way
Great movie. A lot more fun than I expected with some terrific action and legit good laughs.
Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter is about intelligent nobility and mostly rich guys doing good things whereas D&D has always been about dirtbags trying to scam a buck. It has more in common with Conan, Jack Vance's Dying Earth, Fafhrd and Grey Mouser, Elric of Melniboné (and outright stolen concepts from everywhere).
Yeah the new one is great, I was afraid they'd water-down any violence or horror too much. Didn't make a lot of money :(
I saw it last week and I think it's brilliant.
Is it high art? No. Enjoyable? Very much.
I loved it and thought it was worth the price of admission.
It's good even if some mechanical inaccuracies bother me (Mostly the fact that the bard casts zero spells)
Please no links to streaming sites or downloads please.
It was ok. Had it's moments
