I hope they make a sequel. This was just flatout a fun movie.
I don't even play dnd, but I love fantasy rpg's and I loved it!
I've always kind of wanted to play a bard, and now a feel basic, though lmao.
Same, I've never played DnD but RPGs have been around for decades.
Yeah I kinda feel like they flubbed the marketing a bit, it should've been a box office smash hit
It was excellent as a fantasy adventure movie, excellent as a D&D movie, and excellent as a Forgotten Realms movie. It could have been any one or two of those, but to hit all three angles so perfectly was just so spectacular. I really hope we get a sequel with the same creative team.
They should make a sequel even if half the cast can’t return. Just replace them with backup characters!
It would totally make sense for the only returning characters to be Simon and Doric. I think it would be cool to see them with a new party after a short timeskip between movies. Both would make great leads after a little off-screen character growth, and Edgin and Holga don't really have a reason to adventure anymore.
The new actors (or original actors playing different characters?) could explore other PC classes we don't see in the first movie. We'd get to see some more magic. It would be great
If anyone hasn’t seen this movie yet; it’s a treat
Loved it, I'm not a pen and paper DnD guy, only the videogame DnD type of guy and still caught soo many easter eggs and references its insane. Also the movie is super fun and entertaining.
The thing that really impressed me was just how much D&D was in it. Down to being able to easily identify individual spells.
And you can't just name-drop Szass Tam and not follow through on that...
I watched it with a Larp group which does regular D&D as well, and we spent a good amount of time ID'ing spells, classes, and moments that would make you go "wtf dungeon master‽"
It did Easter eggs and cameos really well in a way that accentuated the story instead of detracting from it the way that the Mario movie did.
It was such an enjoyable piece of cinema. So nice I saw it twice. Breaks my heart that Zack Snyder will be allowed to continue to make over-hyped flops while these folks are stuck in limbo.
Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne, Yet that scaffold sways the future
That's a bad-ass quote. Is it from something or an original?
Wasn't there speculation that the D&D "series" would switch casts and tell a different story every time?
That was honestly one of the best movies I've seen in quite a long time, I'd definitely love another ~~Give me more dragons and let them have agency in the plot~~
It's a simple adventure movie with likable characters, a good cast, a plot that captivates but is not unnecessarily complex, excellent humour and none of the many references to DnD feel forced at all.
Easy 9/10 imo.
I'm just afraid that Hollywood execs will take exactly the wrong lessons from it, as they usually do. They won't see it as a successful fantasy adventure movie that underperformed because it came out between Mario and John Wick, but as a failure because it wasn't mostly a carbon-copy of modern Marvel movies, and trusted its audience even a little bit.
This movie was surprisingly good. I should watch it again. I fucking love the melting bard scene. Kills me
That was the first time in a long time that I was dying in the theater from a comedy scene. Since like, Step Brothers or something, idk, it's been awhile a movie has made me laugh that hard in a movie theater.
Isn’t this like the 5th DnD movie? I mean the ones before were shockingly bad, but they still exist.
One of the few good game adaptations
