It was a lot of fun. I'm actualy impressed that the action scenes were well shot and choreographed. There was no setting that felt it overstayed it's welcome. I'm glad that the Paladin character didn't stick with the group because it would seem out of character on his end, so a plus for consistency. I think the overall cast did a great job, though I do think the Druid's character could've been explored more (though they did use her powers in unique ways). I also like the fact that things just never seem to go their ways and some of the ideas they come up with are actually pretty smart. With that said, it's strange but Hugh Grant this time around just wasn't that funny. I think it had to do with his delivery's on some of the lines, but Chris Pine on the other hand almost nailed every comedic beat the movie was trying to get at. There are some really shoddy cgi and it does the MCU humor thing where it tries to be funny at times when it's not warranted.

Otherwise a solid 8.5/10. I highly reccomend others to watch it. This week it's going to be me watching John Wick 4 and next week it's going to be the Mario movie.

the paladin guy was like an npc which I thought was funny, and you could tell when he leaves the group he just starts walking away in a straight line even walking over a boulder

Also the Hither Thither staff was clearly a half-assed DM solution because the party screwed up the intricate bridge puzzle they prepared.

It's pretty damn smart because any deus ex machina can be explained away like this lol.
