[QUOTE="Bacon Bits, post: 9018993, member: 6777737"] Oh, I had a lot of fun with it. I've just developed a dour disposition in my middle years. Too many Internet discussions, probably. As a fantasy movie I'd give it a B+, but as a D&D movie it's a solid A. Way better than it has a right to be for what it is. The writers and producers clearly wanted to make it D&D. That was a lot of fun. That's true. The Paladin's armor is the only time where costumes or make-up stood out to me as detracting from the overall experience. It just looked like vinyl to me instead of metal. It went a little beyond the level of camp (?) or style that the rest of the movie had. Not horrible, but it stood out. Yeah. It felt like they didn't quite know how to shoot that. DoP: "We'll fix it in post!" Editor: "There are limits to magic!" Yes. She seems expressly disinterested, and the two have very little interaction. They really needed one or two interludes. Like if Doric had expressed that she was still interested in Simon but had left because of the danger from Neverwinter or Thay to the Emerald Enclave, that would've worked. We don't know anything about their old relationship. Or if they had done the traditional "oops we fell on top of each other and have a moment of chemistry" thing that would've helped, too. Either the wagon heist or during attunement that would've worked. Simon gets to save Doric from the dragon, and that felt like another missed opportunity for an interlude. Even if she would just smile or laugh at his jokes. It feels like there must have been a scene cut. I do like her introduction. Her character is at least a [I]good[/I] spectacle. Maybe it's just the romance. It just felt like she needed [I]something[/I]. She says she just doesn't trust humans, but... why? She's the only character that talks about race at all. Well, apart from Jarnathan being an Aarakocra being relevant. [/QUOTE]
