[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9043543, member: 11760"] Just rewatched the movie with my dad last night (bought it via Apple). Still a solid movie, but I still feel it needed another dialogue pass. "So I joined a faction known as the Harpers." No one speaks that way except when they're describing their character sheet. Edgin should have said "joined an organization" or, better, just said "joined the Harpers," which he immediately describes and it's obvious he's talking about an organization from the following scenes with the uniforms and the pins and the initiation ceremony, etc. There were multiple moments like that in the script. Not enough to seriously damage the movie, but it makes me wonder what was going on that clunky dialogue was left in when other parts had obviously gotten much more polish. The halflings are definitely too tiny, although it remains funny to me that both Holga and her ex have types. I still think there were more "look, it's a D&D world" bits than were strictly necessary -- what was with all the freaking axe beaks, a monster no one has particularly cared about? -- but this is definitely as good as a mid-tier (so better than the most recent phase) Marvel movie, which I think is still a surprising achievement.
