I mean, you've got it mostly right, but the reality is, the D&D movie is extremely funny. If nothing else, when it's doing humour, it absolutely nails it, and it does a lot of humour. A lot lot. Is it silly - absolutely it is silly - but it's silly AND funny - and it's more funny than it is silly. It's not completely ridiculous.Finally, any "flashy, high-magicy, silly (not "funny", but actually silly)" fantasy movie isn't going to appeal to me, which given the reviews and trailers, is pretty much what this "D&D" movie is. A plethora of animal-head peoples, renaissance-level tech, magic prevalent through the culture, etc. is NOT my D&D. Never has been, never will be.
I respect your decision not to watch it, but it's funny - and I didn't really expect it to be.
I mean, there's a reason why it's got an 91% Rotten Tomatoes rating (up from 89% a couple of days ago), and that is primarily that it's a very good-hearted and very funny movie.
But silly stuff and animal-people? (Particularly a certain Aarakocra) That's happening right from the outset of the movie. So yeah.
