[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8980591, member: 7808"] It's worth noting that I saw this with a group of kids, so I was a little distracted and missed a couple of bits. It was good. Overall, I had a really fun time. I enjoyed it a lot. Plenty of good D&D lore references. Some interesting characters. A better plot than I expected. Not a bad bit of worldbuilding. The expected number of movie gaffs and plot holes. I'll definitely buy it on Bluray and see it again at home some time. I think it will be good for the brand. My criticism: If I didn't know anything about D&D going in to this movie, it feels like it would be kinda forgetable. Not bad or boring. But I don't know what the hook is for people who aren't already interested in D&D. Nothing stands out as "Wow! People will be talking about that scene/item/character/monster/special effect/aesthetic/idea." Also, the run time is on the long side. I'm definitely hoping there will be a sequel (a real one, not direct to streaming/video). I think it deserves it. [/QUOTE]
