It looks great imo. Better than I expected. A modern DnD movie needs to be fun and light imo.
I think Vox Machina has a balance of fun and dark, and I totally think that a Forgotten Realms movie or Dragonlance movie could have a balance too. There is plenty of humor in those books (especially the early ones).
I just think it's a mistake to ignore so many iconic characters, especially when they really need to make a good impression to wipe away the stink of the previous 3 D&D movies. Do something that YOU KNOW will be a hit, then you can branch off and do lighter side stories with brand new characters.
The MCU could be used as a guide. They didn't start off with Guardians of the Galaxy. They started off with more "serious" movies like Iron Man, Thor, Captain America etc. before introducing the wacky band of Guardians that will challenge the BBEG to a dance off to save the universe.
