Average movie with stupid jokes to ruin the excitement and woke characters to take the rating from 5/10 to 2/10. Posted my review here because IMDB obviously doesn't publish woke criticism. I still have hope for Pike even if he's getting too old to play lead.

I saw this meme saying that a guy's character was actually two gnomes standing on each other's shoulders, and not even the DM knew. Whenever he took a hit he always needed to know which body part was affected so he could work out which gnome was damaged. He was only rumbled after one eventually died.

I was blown away by how accurate to DnD this movie was. It feels like a love letter to DnD made by people who play DnD. I was expecting the usual watered down "made for general audiences" MCU style film and instead we got what was essentially a DnD campaign in movie form. Everything from the locations, to the spells, to the monsters, to the magic items all perfectly represented DnD. The film also utilizes show-dont-tell in a way that most Hollywood movies struggle with due to their need for as general of an audience as possible. Nobody needs to explain the bag of holding, or what a displacer beast is, or how breaking concentration affects certain spells, unless the explanation itself is relevant to the plot. Even when they do explain things, it never feels clunky or out of place.

[@holohulolo]

I'm not familiar with the game, but I can appreciate all the fantasy game element, like the name of the items, it's uses and how it interacts with other spells or items, the classes, I like how the explanation also feels like the kind you see on game, where it's telling you the conditions and limitations of it's use. It's something that's just common in fantasy game, or like the channeling of the spells. But of all the action scenes I like the choreography of xenk fighting with a dagger the most. I don't know if it's just the choreography but xenk seems to be moving a little faster than the enemy, kinda like how a character has higher agility or something like that. He looks like he has some superhuman strength or speed. This is something that is rarely if ever, done in movies, most of the fantasy movies that involves abilities sand spells, or superhero movies with their ability, they demonstrate the strength by how they affect the surroundings, like missing a bunch and in cracked a hole on concrete wall or dent on a thick steel or something, either that or the character is too powerful where everything target is like a rag doll to them. But when it comes to fighting with another character with similar strength and ability, it always just look like a fight scene between 2 skilled fighter, who don't have superhuman strength. I mean if you watch the marvel movies or dc's superman, usually characters with superhuman strength also has some superhuman speed and agility because of it, but you don't see that. You see them fighting regular people like soldiers or something, and the only demonstration of their superhuman strength is that they fling them really far, knock down in 1 punch etc. I also like how the Sofia's blinking ability looks. It's an ability that we've seen in many other movies too, they have different effects on the remnant when they jump, like night crawler in xmen, or even teleportation, but this one shows the movement of it, you can see which direction she's jumping to.

What is the funniest scenario your bard got the party into?

[@NickyKnickerson]

@@jessie-ht7bc Oh my gosh, it was almost 20 years ago, I don't remember many specific scenarios but there was a lot of laughter in our group. One thing I do remember that stood out and was hilarious is that I gained the service of a 4th level fighter via a deck of many things. That had happened before and we had a pre-rolled 4th level fighter sheet and would just change the name because they inevitably died. So, this fighter's name was Steve. Steve, unlike his predecessors, did not die and he kept not dying and it sort of became a running joke because whoever was running his character that week always had ridiculous die rolls. Like 20s on things he shouldn't be able to do and 1s when it was crucial. Eventually, through a series of elaborate events and very unlikely outcomes, he became cursed with immortality. Which took the form of his body reassembling itself after he would die. Sometimes that was quick and easy and sometimes it was very messy and lengthy. We would gamble on who had to clean up the Steve. We played him very gung-ho. A true believer, never say die type and he would often charge into situations that we were not prepared for. He also became a favorite improvised weapon for a minotaur PC in our party who would just pick him up and throw him at things. A pair of half-elf siblings would trick him into setting off traps. Eventually he was freed from his curse by Garl Glittergold and invited to join the pantheon of lesser deities. Steve, the god of unusual problem solving.

You've got the owlbear (obviously), mimic, displacer beast, gelatinous cube, and a dragon with a non-fire breath weapon. (Black dragon with an acid line breath attack?) Also, the shield effect that looks like what Eric the Cavalier used to do in the old D&D cartoon. And lots of other stuff that may or may not be unique to D&D, or just come from generic fantasy. Speaking of which, is satyr a player race in D&D these days?

Yessssss, so well put! and the designs seem pretty spot on, especially with the black dragon.

Satyr is a player race now too though, one of the main characters is one in the latest Critical Role campaign

I love how the dragons have accurate designs like the black dragon's horns and skull face or the copper dragon's wings that go to its tail.

Ravenloft and Menzoberranzan and etc etc feel like only a matter of time, as long as this and the TV sequel both don't flop

Since so many people keep on commenting the same thing: Circle of the Moon Druids can become Owl Bears. With DM approval and it's quite commonly allowed. The reason it isn't is because it's classified as a Monstrosity. Where Druid's wildshape into beasts. The reason for the Monstrosity is because the Owl Bear was originally labeled as a creation from a mad wizard. Yet cannon changed it as a natural creature. However, the label wasn't changed. Depending on your DM you either use the older origins or the one more accepted in modern canon. So Yes a druid can wildshape into an owlbear. "However, the oldest elves recalled that owlbears had been around for many millennia and a few fey claimed owlbears had always been found in the Feywild.[1] In fact, owlbears were brought into being by one of the creator races,[11] most likely the aearee". Their stat bloc is also very close to a strong Cave Bear with similarly low intelligence. So the reason the Owl Bear isn't allowed is due to the lore that it was created by a wizard. Yet recent lore suggests that was a myth and not the case.

This was my unexpectedly picked movie but it really gave me worth watching movie ever . Really Loved it ❤️ 😍

it may be the accurate monster design, the party wanting to go over the plan in a tavern or simply the campaign accurate looking story, this movie looks phenomenal and as a D&D fan I am so excited.

This trailer makes me realize the crazy franchise potential DnD could have. It’s kinda like Marvel, there’s a whole slough of existing characters, spells, creatures, plotlines and more to draw inspiration from. Excited for this!

Honestly, lol. It's a shame it's taken this long for it to get a real chance. I can't wait to see how it does.

[@AndresGonzalez-wc3ek]

I hope it does well in the box office so it can make way to Warhammer 40k, the possibilities for different stories are limitless

[@XenosvonFaneli]

Better than Marvel, it's an open sandbox. You got recognizable elements that can be taken and mixed around in any number of different ways. And none of it needs to be cohesive if you don't want it to be, so you can have serious shows and silly stuff and anywhere in-between.

[@Perserra]

Having franchise potential isn't enough. You need a producer with the vision to make it happen. You need to world-build, not just show off a bunch of flashy VFX and action scenes. I have a bad feeling about this.

[@ragnarjenkins4120]

Never thought about that. Dnd has huge cinematic universe potential. From Drizzt and the Underdark to Strahd and Ravenloft. Itllbe sick if this brcomes a thing

[@MoonWielder]

I'm getting so many Guardians of the Galaxy vibes here, which is a great thing. The cast is outstanding, the monsters all look fantastic, and the tone that they're going for here is more of a silly adventure rather than a serious quest was definitely the right call. Looking forward to watching this nostalgic creation.

Signed, except for the Dragon. In an age of GoT CGI Dragon Quality, the white one looks a bit too plastic for me. I see what they are trying to do here by imagine them like in some earlier Editions but not sure here. Could also be a hatchling or a young dragon in the one shot, but let's see. But the Displacer Beast, the Mimic and the Owlbear really killed it...so I am on the chochooo hype train now! 😍

[@therexbellator]

This does look great but before anyone casts aspersions on the 2000 movie people should remember that movie was entirely written, directed and financed by Courtney Solomon. It was his passion project. He single-handedly got the seed money from friends and family before getting Hollywood backing and still managed to get decent Hollywood talent to start in it. He did this in an age before Kickstarter or other forms of croudsourcing. Yes it's a flawed movie, bad even by AAA Hollywood standards, but it's an impressive feat for a single person. And judging from this movie trailer they retained a similar amount of humor and hijinx that the 2000 movie had.

I honestly hate this memey-approach. Comedy in film is at it's best when it emerges organically in context, or else you take a comedic context, and play it a little more seriously, or things like that. Sort of like how some people are funny because they make witty commentary, and work within the context of what's going on, and then some people try really hard and usually just recite jokes, and you wish they'd shut up.
