Don't get me wrong, I really liked the movie. And it actually got better the second time around. But, this was the sticking point for me during my first viewing, and it became the only sticking point during the second viewing. From her not even recognizing him (? like how many people are pining after a druid in a recluse enclave that turns into an owlbear and quips like a Hollywood 17-year-old Dawson Creek "intellectual"), to him trying to sell the whole thing as a second date, to him instantly shutting up about it when she tells him to even though he just countered a time stop spell! All of that seemed so forced to me, and in truth, not needed. A slow burn, maybe a glance, a smile, a reaching out of a hand while walking through the Underdark, and that would have much more subtly set the mood than this CW romantic plot they tried to squeeze in.And I say this again. I thought the movie was great. I liked it all, and easily overlooked this problem. But I only bring this up because I find it refutes (at least in my opinion) this:But outside of that, I agree with everything [USER=4534]@MGibster[/USER] said.</blockquote>
