Unfortunately this movie seems to have C-grade casting written all over it. I mean, that’s no different to the other D&D movies, but I did have higher hopes initially.

Given that it's an action movie, what were you expecting?

So far, so good.

I mean, given the pandemic, it's not entirely certain there will be movie theaters by the time this is released.

But hey, everything else is looking okay!

Chris Pine is definitely not "C-grade", and as for the others: it's not often that a movie's main cast is entirely A-list actors - you'll have one or two, and the rest of the casting (the supporting roles) will be actors who generally don't carry their own movies. Michelle Rodriguez in particular is a really solid, proven, go-to supporting role actor.

Rodriguez characters tend to die because she has a long and well-documented substance abuse problem which has landed her in jail and makes her difficult to work with.

I could be mistaken but didnt I just see her on a UFO or ghost hunters show within the last few months?

There's no tv role in recent years in her IMDB listing other than a recurring one in Backdoor, one appearance on a sketch show, and before that Lost. The rest is movies and shorts.
