My expectations were very low at first, I had no intentions of seeing it. But I saw several reports that the movie was actually quite a bit of fun.
Finally got you see it tonight.
I honestly don't understand the praise. The special effects were nice, the production value was good, but that's about it.
Outside of that, it's quite the mediocre movie. The characters are bland, the plot is very thin, the music is forgettable, the villain was quite uninteresting, etc.
It wasn't terrible altogether, I did finish it but it's the type of movie that I'll never watch again and forget that I ever watched it in a few months.
It did not help that they went with the silly D&D approach. It's not a bad thing, but I've never been a fan of silliness at my table so I couldn't relate with that humour. Also, it did not feel like D&D to me. It was just a generic fantasy movie names like Elminster, Mordekainen and a few iconic creatures slapped on to make it D&D.
