The Dungeons and Dragons film: Calls for shameless fan service

[MadPuppy]

Because we already have LotR. Or The Witcher. Or a hundred other straight fantasy stories.

Sure, they could do it straight, but, then, how is it not just "generic fantasy movie"? What makes it a D&D movie?

Mind Flayers

 

[Khelon Testudo]

There's a little comedy in it. Especially if you think that Kevin Sorbo is funny when trying to be serious. (He has a few walk-on parts as the main character's mentor.)

If it's what I'm thinking of, a cast member of Critical Role is a bad guy. Oh, the chewing of cheap scenery!

A character shouts someone's arm back on.

Well, I have seen someone on Critical Role get Intimidated back to life so... this isn't a stretch

Like Hulk does to Stark at the climax of the Avengers movie!
