They tend to suffer from taking themselves far too seriously - something I wouldn't expect from a D&D movie.Like a DC superhero movie
F&F is a much better comparison.

And utterly devoid of interesting dialogue, because the translations simply won't work for the massive Chinese audience that they'll want to pull in.When I hear Dungeons & Dragons movie, I am expecting something like a shonen anime style B-movie with a big budget. No idea if that's still justified, but that's what I assume it would be.
Cardbord cutout chracters by actors making poor performances because if the lack of direction and a brainless script, fighting generic dark lords and dragons in cheap CGI environments, while appearing to be under the delusion that it's deep and dramatic cinema.
Like a DC superhero movie or Fast & Furious.
We know that now that the Marvel brand has been built. How do you do it from scratch and for D&D?That seems to me to be a false dichotomy, and that has become clear in the two decades since.
Well, if it is like an MCU movie, you market it like one.
I dont think its instantly smart at all. Did they market World of Warcraft to LotR and GoT folks? I think folks are thinking geek is in so its no fail and will find an audience. Though, folks are forgetting there have been a number of fantasy flicks in the last 20 years that were quickly forgotten. Either they were bad movies or not marketed well. D&D is no sure bet even with Pine and Grant.I think everyone who follows Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings on Facebook is likely to get a lot of D&D movie ads shoved at them. Heck, if Hasbro was smart, they'd be pushing the D&D Live ads at them now.
