[QUOTE="wellis, post: 8972555, member: 7031004"] I saw the Amazon screening, and enjoyed it. Is this movie some sort of amazing epic that will give highbrow critics a smile? No. It's not the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But it's a fun movie. It's humorous, it has action, it's decent to good. And honestly, I think one thing that helps is that we've now had years of grimdarkish fantasy via Game of Thrones/ASOIAF. And people now I think want something lighter, more funny. And I think that's what people really want. Something that is funny, has action, can be easily followed, and is at the very least, decent. Is Forgotten Realms the most original/amazing fantasy setting in D&D? Certainly not. To me, it's rather generic honestly. But I imagine for the majority of people to haven't seen much fantasy in general (outside of like Game of Thrones) or just think of fantasy as "oh elves and dwarves and such", it's still different enough that they'll be entertained or intrigued. It's clear to me that non-fantasy/non-gaming types will be able to pretty easily follow along with little explanation. My only complaints is I kind of felt some of the early humor when Chris Pine's character talked about his backstory kind of clashed with the attempted sad backstory stuff. Also I'll admit, it was hard for me to tear up honestly. Maybe I have a heart of stone. But I still had a bellyful of laughs at parts so I definitely will see it again. Honestly I felt the humor was Marvel-ish, but it felt...better than a lot of Marvel movies' humor to me. Maybe it's because it's something new and not the 15th in a series of films or something.
