I'm happy to hear this! Sounds like it is kinda low-key hilarious and has a LOTR's type strength to it in that it both gives nods to people who love the source material but it is also just an really good film in its own right.

I'm here for more fantasy comedies.

Gonna make my Fiance sit through the 90's one, then bring her to watch this one.

At least this one looks like a real DnD party.

haha, at first i was a bit hesitant that the name would be pointless, like when World War Z had nothing to do with the book.
but that feels very DnD actually, i can absolutely see a DM pulling that shit

On the one hand it looks very much like how your standard game goes which is great, on the other hand I kind of want a serious D&D trilogy something like the War of the Lance.

The one where they fight Tiamat in the first episode? I would subject my worst enemy to that (well... maybe I would).

That would give everyone a false impression of what DnD is, which is part of the reason the 90's one failed. It lacked the real goofiness that a real DnD campaign would have.

DnD is as serious as a clown.

If I am not mistaken this would make it the highest rated video game movie adaption of all time. Nobody could have anticipated this given the poster looked like THIS:

Seeing Themberchaud in the trailer was more than enough to convince me it's worth seeing.

My D&D group met him in a campaign once, and he was immediately the best character in the whole thing.

Maybe if you don't play D&D it did. To me, I saw a million references and faithful recreations of characters, creatures, and spells from D&D. It looks like it was made by some hardcore D&D players.

Memberberries don't automatically make a good movie, and that first trailer did look turbo generic to anyone not into D&D. Now the second one onward, on the other hand, that one looked way better than the first.

On the other hand, Marlon Wayans isn't in the movie being an embarrassment, so it evens out.

CGI heavy, comedy based, quipy, etc. Also do note I am a casual, I don't know anything about DND, just going from what the trailers are just showing.

There are a couple of reviewers I really trust and all of them are giving this movie positive reviews and it's getting excellent word of mouth. Hence why I'm going to be checking it out.

All I'm gonna say is...We had a Session #1 of a new campaign yesterday (other campaign is still going, but one of our players wanted to run his own during the odd weeks)...And our Bard was cracking jokes the entire time, and it was an amazing experience. D&D is full of dark, dangerous circumstances, but there is definitely a long-standing tradition of humor and swashbuckling put there by the players themselves. We are the adventurers. If this movie seems quippy and full of humor, it's because player characters are often like that.

The movie seems to capture the essence of an actual campaign just as much as it accurately recreates the world and its elements visually. Our whole D&D party is going to organize a time to see it together.
