It seems to be getting good critical reviews! I will be seeing it on Sunday as part of an early screening due to a deal between Amazon Prime and Atom Tickets, if you have Prime and a theatre nearby participating you can too: https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/1...C?channel=PEAS

We also have an SSG movie outing for it later in the month.

Glad to hear it's getting good reviews!

There are plenty of "bad" movies that are enjoyable to have seen, for exactly how equisitely bad they were.

I mean... it has to be better than Beastmaster or that 2nd Conan movie, dunnit?

Movie's good, y'all. Absolutely loved it.

Now that I've seen it I want to be SUPER CLEAR this is a NO SPOILER zone until at least March 31st. Sharing officially-released videos and links is ok, though, people can choose themselves whether to follow or watch. Go in relatively cold and enjoy it, even your non-D&D family and friends will have fun. It's a big popcorn movie and felt great, very much like the fun tabletop experience I've enjoyed. Entire cast and crew was wonderful. I'm thrilled I got to see it today!

Good news!

Can we guess? The butler did it.

Saw it was better than I expected but it was far from great but definitely worth watching but don’t see t as it screen required. Lots
of laughs from most of the audience but some were like me and didn’t laugh just wish they had a bit more of a certain cameo. A nice final birthday present from my wife.

Hopefully spoiler free enough

Did they explain where what'sherface got the rubber tubing for her wrist-slingshot?

[As seen in the trailer.]

Saw the Movie. My sentiments are echoed by an early review by Brian Tallerico of rogerebert.com; "The film often feels like it’s faking what the creators love about the game instead of trying to translate it from one medium to another."

Some random comments:
The more tabletop D&D you have played the more you will like this movie. There are some oww and ahh moments for people who played a fair amount of D&D tabletop, you could tell in the theater I was in who played D&D and who got dragged to the movie, for non-fans it was a lot of swings and misses.
This story would have been better as a six to eight episode show on Paramount+
I wish the writers and producers spent more time understanding why the Lord of the Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson was successful rather than attempting to emulate a bad Marvel film.
I suspect this will be a box off dud, and maybe even bomb. The current projections have the film opening at $25M and making $60M domestically and maybe another $100M internationally. For a film that reportedly cost $150M (before marketing) that's well short of the $300M it needs to breakeven.

Saw it today during a special viewing. I enjoyed it... but...the beginning felt awkward... clunky somehow. If you can sit through the beginning, IMHO, you'll end up enjoying it. I don't really have any complaints except toughing my way through the opening which played out like a Prologue being read to a live theatre doesn't suit well to a cinema experience even though it makes sense in a D&D backstory fashion.

That's all I'm going to say until most people have seen it.

Our adult son invited my wife and I to see the D&D movie. We taught him and his brother how to play the table top version 30 years ago and they both got heavily into it. We all thought the movie was great. I especially loved the owlbear. If you have not seen it, you should go. This is not the old D&D films, this is a major production with lots of laughs.
