My wife and I really liked it!
I enjoyed it a lot. It has just the right amount of humour, and it was suprisingly loyal to D&D lore.
Great movie
It was a really fun movie, and while not top-tier cinema I'd definitely rate it as good. The actors did well, the dialogue was great, and there were so many easter eggs.
And you definitely felt in parts that it was a D&D game. The characters doing stupid things, the GM throwing a lifeline here and there, the sequence of combat in some of the battles...
I'm sad it came out at a bad time, I think it could've done better.
I didn't think it was. I'd definitely be down for more movies in the dnd universe though if this was an example of what they'd be doing if that helps at all. Probably not a theater level movie but a good home movie or fun with friends watching for sure.
I saw it last week and I think it's brilliant.
It's not. Really fun and well made
I'd say it's okay, not bad and not particularly good.
Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter is about intelligent nobility and mostly rich guys doing good things whereas D&D has always been about dirtbags trying to scam a buck. It has more in common with Conan, Jack Vance's Dying Earth, Fafhrd and Grey Mouser, Elric of Melniboné (and outright stolen concepts from everywhere).
Yeah the new one is great, I was afraid they'd water-down any violence or horror too much. Didn't make a lot of money :(
Great movie. A lot more fun than I expected with some terrific action and legit good laughs.
It was so much better than we (wife and myself) expected it to be. Strongly recommend it to casual d&d enjoyers (such as we are), there was one or two things that didn't work, and the writing was cliche at a couple points, but the acting was superb and the visuals were awesome. more hardcore people will probably find more nits to pick, but I think it'll be appealing to a broad audience, d&d fans included. I hope it earns the studio enough to try to make another one, especially if they can bring back the main cast, they had really good chemistry.
I loved it and thought it was worth the price of admission.
I had a great time with it! Showed it to friends who knew dnd and some who didn’t and they all had a blast!!
it is great I actually went to see more then once
It was fun, but the CGI was dated in parts. Overall, glad I streamed it instead of seeing it in theaters
The druid uses a sword. Made of metal.
Other than that it was entertaining, however from a critical standpoint it seems like they tried to fit too many storylines into a movie that wasn't long enough to support them. Could have easily been 2, or 3 movies worth of content.
Please no links to streaming sites or downloads please.
It's amazing. Highly recommend it!
It was ok. Had it's moments
