    Isn’t this like the 5th DnD movie? I mean the ones before were shockingly bad, but they still exist.

      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.

    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

        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.

    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.

    Wasn’t there speculation that the D&D “series” would switch casts and tell a different story every time?
