Well, I finally watched this movie yesterday, with 0 expectations and I actually enjoyed it. I’m surprised to learn it jas >90% score on Rotten Tomatoes as I wouldn’t rate it that high, but I found it very compelling; I was actually looking forward to how they would come out of those bad situations this time. Characters were strangely well developed with backstory that didn’t make my eyes roll. Sure, not original, but well told. I was expecting a Netflix movie type (dull and somewhat boring) and ended up with a good pic. Hoping for a sequel.
Same - watched it a month or so ago and actually enjoyed it more than I expected. My wife was watching with me, and even though she doesn’t even know what D&D is, she quite liked it too!
We would both definitely watch a sequel, if it’s ever made.
I loved how accessible and entertaining it was, even for people who didn’t catch all of the in-jokes and references.
I think the best easter egg is that they all follow initiative when attacking 😎
My favorite was the party from the cartoon in the arena.
Wait, really?! I didn’t catch that one
That’s a great way to put it - the movie really is accessible, isn’t it? A lot of Easter eggs for people familiar with D&D, but it’s still quite enjoyable even when you know nothing about it.
