Haven't seen anyone whose seen it that disliked it yet, and anyone that hasn't with strong opinions seems to either be needlessly upset that it isn't super serious, or upset at the politics behind the movie in some form

It was great, and anyone that wants serious D&D can just watch the Dragonlance TV series that's coming.

The directors were also talking about wanting to do a Drizzt movie, which would be more serious.

I liked it quite a bit, went with a few of my dnd group and it was cheesy fun all the way through. I'm still pretty new to the game but all the spontaneous improving felt just like a typical session. Idk about a sequel but more movies set in the same universe could be pretty good.

No, it's the guy who was going to play Deathstroke before the DCEU imploded on itself.

He's a major D&D fan.

"Let's take this seriously, guys" is the exact moment any given D&D group begins to die.

It just doesn't seem to be doing that well at the BO sadly. I really do hope for a sequel.

While definitely true, this is for the books. I haven't read them but I know they're considered fantasy classics, and more on the serious end.

The same will apply for movies and tv. just wait.

The only people who want "serious" are D&D nerds, and even then only some D&D nerds. Meanwhile, the mass-market appeal evaporates when it gets up its own ass.

Yeah I hope it gets a sequel. It was funny, even if I didn't get every reference (not a DnD player).

This is actually cool. He will do it great justice.

Or fans of the book series which goes well beyond dnd fans.

D&D nerds, minus D&D. Think about that.

The book is considered a fantasy staple, along with a few other Forgotten Realms stories. They aren't loved because of the DnD connection any more than people love the new movie for it.
