[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 8979081, member: 7035894"] Just saw it. Super fun! Very episodic - chase this Macguffin, then that. Not exactly high art, but more jokes hit than missed, and the cast had good chemistry. Loved seeing the various D&D elements, with my favourite being Maximillian's Earthen Grasp vs. what I assume was a necrotic version of Bigby's Hand. Downs: The villains were fine, but standard action movie villain fare - evil because reasons. Hugh Grant's Forge was a bit more interesting, though his motivation only amounted to "grifter gotta grift." A few of the make-up choices were kind of silly - the Aarakroa dude and Tabaxi were a bit janky, though the practical effects were still fun. Also, Halfings just looked like tiny humans, which I found disconcerting. The emotional stakes weren't that well developed, so that Edgin's sacrifice at the end seemed like the obvious choice rather than a true dilemma. Ups: Themberchaud. This scene was fantastic and I [I]need[/I] a miniature version of him for my collection. Found family theme: kind of a cliché in action films these days, but still done well, especially between Holga and Edgin. Bradley Cooper as Holga's ex was a delightful cameo. The action was very well staged so that I almost always knew what was happening. The wackiness of their plans reminded me of a D&D game. A lot. I could almost see the failed rolls happening. That shapeshifting escape scene! If WotC don't figure out a way to let players do that, they are dropping the ball. Also, I loved the Owlbear (even though it's last scene was directly lifted from Hulk in The Avengers - okay, maybe we'll be generous and call it an homage). The sets did a great job of depicting a large, diverse world. [/QUOTE]
