I liked seeing all the monsters such as the Mimic, Displacer Beast, Owlbear, and MCU-style Humor.

Extreme Guardians of the Galaxy vibes from that. Which is fine, that was a good movie. I dunno. I like Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez and the Owlbear was cool.

I like Chris Pine. It'll always be funny to me that he mostly played Captain Kirk his own way and then went full Shatner-parody for Into the Woods of all things.

Pine is forever great after knocking it out in Hell or High Water which is an underrated classic IMO.

Yeah at this point it's gone from Tokien and Frazetta to "Nowdieval" and has been that way for a while. Spelljammer, Planescape, and the Steampunk elements have been around for decades. Do I wish George Miller would make a Dark Sun movie? Yes. Do I think that can honestly happen? Absolutely not.

Yeah, does anyone want a bunch of "doth my lady" dialogue going on? I was an English Lit major, but as I've aged, my patience for Elizabethan language and Shakespearean soliloquies has waned very thin...

How do the protagonists talk and act in these games? If any "brand" (ugh) has earned the right to use "a bunch of goobers quip their way through deadly adventures" it is honestly Dungeons and Dragons.

It's not possible to evoke the feeling of playing D&D with your besties through the medium of cinema, so this is an extremely stupid point. Either the movie was going to be completely meta, or it was going to be "in world" and in either case it was not going to be played straight. If that bothers you then oh well.

You can't accurately represent D&D in a movie because the way a group behaves and talks and treats the universe entirely depends on the table.

lmao what the hell is going on here when people literally play D&D they literally talk in jokey quippy fashion it's entirely authentic to have the movie be like that!!! edit: and i mean "in character". what i'm saying is that for decades now the vast majority of gamer people, for better or worse, have decided to be witty

precision posted:lmao what the hell is going on here Maybe so. This type of fourth-wall breaking, ironic embarrassment has been utilized for, what 20 years now (Pirates of the Caribbean?). It had its moment but I'm ready for a different type of movie. Anyway, I don't mean to be a wet blanket. I hope it's good and I'm glad people in this thread are excited about it!

I'm not trying to be rude but like it or not (and I don't) Critical Role is the "face" of D&D and the movie is a decent approximation of it.

There's an entire genre of anime dedicated to people getting sucked into MMORPGs Jumanji style, so I guess in a way the idea has precedent.
