D&D Movie/TV Do you think the D&D Movie will be good?

[Morrus]

I'm sure many of us will go see it, regardless. And others will not do so for a variety of reasons. But in your heart of hearts, do you currently feel it's going to be a good movie or not?

We'll know for sure in a month! But what's your current sense?

Define ‘good’ any way you want.

No, I don't think it's going to be good. I think that because I've been hurt before and can never trust again.

I think it looks like a lot of fun!

I probably won't see it because I've got a baby at home and we just are not seeing movies in the theater. But I'll rent it or watch it when it goes to streaming!

Weirdly, my opinion has subtly shifted recently.

Initially, I was all, "YEAH, AWESOME!"

But I recently watched the Critical Role series (Vox Machina) on Amazon Prime. And ... I had mixed emotions while watching it. I felt that it was surprisingly good in parts, better than I expected (even with sophomoric bits). But then I also noticed that the inclusion of "D&Disms" made it feel ... worse.

In other words, after watching Vox Machina, I simultaneously think that the movie can be a good D&D movie, but by being a good D&D movie it might end up not being a good movie in general.

We'll see soon enough.

I choose yes and plan to see it because it was the closest to what I will do.
I barely ever go to the cinema anymore. It just isn't worth the money, the trip and the discomfort.
So, I plan to see it in my home as soon as I can rent it as ppv.

I don't think it'll be good. Yes I'll see it in a movie theater and I've been in a movie theater less than 5 times in the past 5 years. Don't try to understand because I don't either. I'm an enigma, wrapped in a conundrum, wrapped in bacon.

The cast is capable of delivering.
The authors have done good work before.

So, it has a really good chance of being fun.
I'll leave it to people who think hierarchical systems are a hoot to gnaw over whether it is "good".

 

[DarkCrisis]

Entertaining. Good... well... I guess that depends on how you define "good".

 

[Baldurs_Underdark]

Yes it will be good. Based on just a feeling. [edit: @DarkCrisis ninja: entertaining = good for this poll, as in "not bad"]

No I won't see it because I never find time to go to the movies.

Good is of course subjective. I'm sure it won't be up to Martin Scorsese's standards for example.

But it looks fun and the studio isn't trying to hide from it. Those are good signs to me. It's an ensemble adventure movie which I'm already a sucker for - so if it's even half as fun as a mid-series Fast and Furious movie or the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie it'll count as good in my book.
