The directors were just talking recently how they were originally signed on to do The Flash movie but sat down for a meal with Ezra Miller and changed there minds abruptly 😂
The best thing about dungeon and dragons, is that you can keep pumping out movies with different casts, since you can just label it as a new campaign, with a new cast of characters.
@@The_Knight_Mayor Really? All I remember is the 2000 movie that had a couple dungeons and a sky full of dragons. I think they felt to had to live up to the name. I guess it's lucky they didn't name themselves "Dungeons and Demons;" though the knockoff "tunnels and trolls" might have made for better movies.
They are all really bad the second movie sees the return of that blue makeup dude what snakes in his head or whatever the f*** that was from the first movie as the villain... terrible movies and the first trailer reminded me of those movies
As someone who has been playing D&D (and other RPGs) for about 35+ years now - I'm ridiculously excited about how good this is and what it will mean for potential things that could come in the future.
This movie was SOOOOOO good! -it aready premiered here in Hungary, and wow... just... WOW? Finally had such a good time at the cinemas again. That scene in the cemetary made my laugh out so loud.
Look 👀 at you Grace, you’ve been putting out livestreams and video after video this whole week. You are true workaholic. You really deserve a break tonight 😊
@@upgradED32 it’s obvious that Grace makes videos of movies and shows she believes is worth her time. I wonder if people tell their Uber Driver or teacher to work less too. Perhaps they give really nice tips and tell them, use the money to add up towards vacation.
Your enthusiasm for movies is always a breath of fresh air for me to watch! I'm super excited for this movie, seeing your review and level of excitement when describing it, has me so eager to see it!! I thought about seeing the many sneak-peeks you mentioned but I REALLY want to see it in Dolby-Digital!!
Just saw it in theaters yesterday. Such a great movie, the action and suspense really got me going in a way that I haven't felt at any movie in a long time
@@WinedandDined27 I saw it today and I can safely say it was the best movie of the year so far, and I go to the movies a lot. Worst movie I've seen this year was Antman Quantumania, in fact I'm still salty I gave them my money.
@@etaylor8028 I saw it a few days ago and thought it was decent, not even close to being the best movie of the year, tho. John wick 4 was a masterpiece and one of the best theater going experiences of my life, this was merely a decent time. But to each their own.
I loved the movie and thought it was hysterical. It had situational comedy (not cheap one liners) - there is one scene in particular that I literally laughed the whole scene- I haven’t done that in a movie in…. Forever and a day. Direction was on point. Acting on point. Effects on point. Stunt Choreography on point. Cinematography on point. Script/Story on point. This film took me back to the fantasy adventure films of the 80s. So good. Can’t wait to see it again this Sunday and opening night! 👏🏾 This is the film I needed Shazam2 to be.
This reminded me a lot of Rian Johnsons WARCRAFT in its world building, effects, and general awesomeness. I hope that this movie finds a welcoming audience
I like it. Not a D&D fan myself, story wise not as “exciting” as I hope it would be, but like Grace said, perfectly balance between various elements, cover lots of area in 2 hours, likeable character(s). And the VFX, much better than most phase 4 MCU movies 😂
they only break RAW when it'll enhance the moment, but other than that, there's a whole dialogue about how magic isn't a band-aid that fixes everything
Just watched it for my birthday because of this review! What a delight! Felt like watching the original pirates of the Caribbean. Just a delightful adventure
I'm so glad you liked this movie, Grace! I wasn't sure how it would play to the non-D&D crowd. Something you mentioned brings up a question: I always thought that these pre-release sneak preview screenings were added to the opening weekend box office - is that not the case? If not - I'm feeling kind of bad now about bringing 10 of my fellow D&D'ers to the sneak preview last weekend! We all loved it - but, the theater was packed with D&D fans who couldn't wait to see it, and so now I'm really worried that Paramount may have shot themselves in the foot.
Umm there are a bunch of early screenings for this movie in most theaters even Canada. Like I am watching it this Sunday even though this movie comes out on the 31st but I just felt like I couldn't wait anymore lol. Like Grace said, they want to generate a strong word of mouth buzz for this movie before it's opening weekend. I just hope it can survive at the box office for a month at least because it has been unfortunately sandwiched between John Wick 4 and Super Mario Bros.
@@nikitamohan3390 Yes, I know - that's the point! If ticket sales for early screenings are NOT included in the "opening box office" numbers, and, say, all the hardcore D&D fans go to an early screening, and thus the actual opening weekend box office is SMALLER than it otherwise would have been, the movie could end up being a flop! Having so many early screenings could end up being counter-productive - that was Grace's point
@@scottcoz umm I have never ever heard of any movie ever flopping because of early screenings though unless it was a mediocre and dull film to begin with! That's clearly not the case here. It's supposed to help the film and will be included in the film's lifetime collections. Some movies like super mario bros and air are opening on Wednesday or on any big holiday weekend and I guess the Wednesday and Thursday collections are not included in their respective opening weekends but if they flopped, it wouldn't be because they released on a Wednesday. Just saying. And D&d has a budget of 150 million. Not exactly some cheap indie low risk project. The box office of this film matters if they are hoping for sequels and potential TV shows I guess.
@@nikitamohan3390 You keep starting every post with "umm" so perhaps you don't understand the point? I'm responding specifically to what Grace said at 13:15 - when she expressed concern that all these advance screenings might hurt the opening weekend box office. Forgive me if I consider Grace to be a little more knowledgeable on the subject than some rando on the internet - hence why I was asking HER a question, and hoping she'll answer, since, frankly, your responses are not being particularly helpful. "Some movies... are opening on Wednesday... and I guess the Wednesday and Thursday collections are not included in their respective opening weekends" - that's not correct. When a movie opens on a Wednesday, those ticket sales ARE included in "opening weekend box office" totals, but then they also provide the "3-day weekend box office total," for comparison. Hence my assumption that sneak preview ticket sales WOULD be added to opening weekend box office - but Grace's concern makes me think that they are NOT added, so I was hoping for clarification on that.
@@scottcoz yes I read what you said. You weren't talking Greek or Latin or quantum physics that I would struggle for even a second to understand. There's no double meaning here. Yes the "umm" was 100% intentional and cuz I literally typed exactly what I thought. Lol THAT'S what you are nitpicking on? And since the umm bothers you so much and I suspect you need further clarification, people usually say or type "umm" if they heard or saw something awkward or in this case, hearing something that didn't make sense. I honestly don't know a single film in the history of cinema in any language which flopped SPECIFICALLY and ONLY because of early screenings which is usually a crucial part of promoting a film and helping it gain momentum. I don't know of such an example which is why I asked you for a clarification or such an example to support your claims but you clearly seem way more interested in attacking my diction instead. So I guess there's nothing more to say.
Star Wars- A new hope late 90’s version with the new VFX scene with the Millennium falcon ascending & the sun shines on the falcon when storm troopers are firing on it still holds up today. Always will love that new VFX scene.
Very excited to see this next week. The reviews have been so great, I might need to track down one of these sneak peek screenings. Rachel McAdams' "Oh no he died" from Game Night is one of my favorite line reads ever
When you mentioned a compelling shapeshifting character scene, all I could think about was how good a Beast Boy scene could be if DC ever got it together 🤦🏾♂️😞
"The same team that worked on Game Night worked on this" Never has Grace sold me on a movie I didn't care about so quickly. Those guys are beyond talented and Game Night was the last good comedy ever made.
After MCU and DC movies being hyped up as the "to be the best movies of the year" this one came quite silently and stole the spotlight. Genuinely enjoyed it and wow, I could only hope they move onto the sequel as quickly as possible
Having seen this movie Grace, your comment about needing to get them to write the MCU's X-Men is absolutely right! They would be perfect for any/all future X-Men projects!
I kind of wish the Halflings were scaled a little better, too. Most everything looked great, though, and I didn't expect so many different races being shown as just part of the world
Sooooooooooo you thought Puss in Boots was a Great movie about finding yourself and realizing what you looking for is in you all along and the Future is yours . Ahhhh, did not Wizard of Oz and Back to the Future cover that already?? so we need a Cat to Express the same out come?? I was Highly Disappointed after wasting time watching something that was done before and done back in the 30s-40s-50s and I'm disappointed people can not see Hollywood is remaking Old movies turning them into Modern day movies with New slapped on title but still same old movie.
@@sandal_thong8631 If you asking me that question my answer will be Jesus Christ is the Greatest Fearless Hero. he was Bold enough to stand before Pontis pilate , he had No fear of being persecuted for your sins, Brave enough to die for your personal Sins.....I say he was Fearless Hero.
Yeah agreed they should do Xmen because they know how to do an ensemble film. Pines character may have been the focus, but all of them had a proper and equally important moment on the spotlight. They even knew how to write an overpowered character so that he would not outdo the rest of the cast, but still have his moment of glory.
Stranger Things borrowed heavily from Dungeons & Dragons. I do hope D&D movie turns out to be a profitable movie franchise.D&D has so many fantasy realm setting they can use including Forgotten Realms, Grey Hawk Dragonlance, etc.
My wife is not a gamer at all, but she really wanted to see this, as she enjoys fun, "popcorn" fantasy flicks. I am a total D&D nerd, so I was of course thrilled to go. We loved it! I agree with Grace's enthusiastic review (and she is not an easy critic to impress!). Though while Chris Pine is ostensibly the lead, it really does feel a lot like an ensemble cast, with each character having their own story arc, flaws, struggles, vulnerabilities, etc. And in an era where so many characters are hatefully toxic, it was refreshing to have a fun, action-packed film where everyone was genuinely likeable! My wife's favourite was Doric, the druid. I can't say I had a favourite, though having played a wild magic sorcerer, who has a propensity for rolling 'Critical Fails' during game play, I could certainly empathise with Simon! 😄
What campaign are you on? I gave up on ever finishing CR 1 since the animation is out. I'm 90% done with 2 and on/off with 3. At 4hrs an episode, it's just way too hard to keep up.
@@merchantofchaos088 I'm still on campaign 1. I only started after watching the animated series, because I wanted to know the source material. Now I'm almost through the campaign
I like the use of muted fantasy. I’ve grown up knowing it as low or high fantasy and this is definitely the highest fantasy. A lot of fun to watch. I hope audiences enjoy this as much as this fantasy fan
I guess they must have spent the money on CGI in the film, because the poster and some of the marketing materials makes it look like a cheap film from the 2000s
I'm just another person that was able to see the Amazon Prime early showing on March 19th and was glad I did! I haven't played D&D since the 3rd edition, but I still play some of the official games that can be bought on Steam/GOG (for Windows and Mac OS), and I immediately recognized SO MUCH of the established (Forgotten Realms) lore that was used in this movie! And while I found the movie predictable a few times, there was one thing that I never saw coming and I had a good laugh when I saw it, which I believe was the intention all along.
The forehead tattoo was a strange choice indeed but for what it’s worth, it was sort of explained in one of the flashbacks, and it is fitting considering where he is from.
All 7 of the people in that photo rock, I can't wait to see this movie. Grace please treat yourself to all the naughty and fabulous tidbits that IS Bridgerton! Both seasons are such fun. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend
I was already pretty excited to watch this movie and now I can’t wait to go see it! I remember thinking this movie was one of the few I really wanted to see in a theater.
Just got to see the movie this weekend as it was just released in Poland. But Grace there actually was an Easter egg that hints to Critical Role in the movie! In the scene where Justin Smith’s character does the spell for “fresh cut grass,” it’s a nod to one of the player’s character whose name is Fresh Cut Grass. So while the cast of Critical Role is not in the movie themselves, the movie does give a small shout out to them for everything they’ve done for the world of DND.
Just saw this movie and it was a truly enjoyable experience. It's the first movie I've seen since covid. Funny, great action sequences, love the world building and different locations.
Dungeons and dragons fans keep winning. March has been fantastic, not a single non-banger (I even liked 65!). EDIT: I too am worried they have been doing way too many sneak previews for this taking away from the opening weekend, don't want to Love Simon it (that movie was great also).
Didn't realize they were doing early showings until I saw this video and I checked my local theater for this Sunday, its basically full. Guess will just go opening Weekend, for sure. Been playing DnD for 30 years
Such a great movie! Just watched this with my boyfriend and we both loved it. Fun, good story, great characters, beautiful graphics, made us emotional, and just good in every way. Highly recommended
The biggest problem this movie will have is that the huge roleplay community is currently not happy with the D&D brand and that may affect box office numbers.
Jus saw it and loved it. Y'know I have a bias being a big dnd fan and it's not like amazing etc but it was so much fun with great vfx, fun action sequences, clever uses for magics, and a very charming cast. I had a lot of fun and would be down for future films in this world.
Very enjoyable movie. Great action sequences & tons of humor. The movie is so visually & technically well done. This is the type of fun you go to the theatre for.
do agree with you a lot, but your review of John Wick 4 just made me realise how subjective film is. JW 4 is incredible masterpiece in my opinion. I cant believe you gave it a rotten tomato.
I saw this Last week. I'm a casual D&D fan..and thought the film was fun. Very comic booky in the sense there's a lot of modern language and one liners, humor. It's way better than the 2000s one.
I saw a sneak peak yesterday Thursday afternoon (only one in the whole theater). I absolutely loved it. I hope a lot of people treat themselves. I’m not a D&D fan, I’ve tried playing and it’s not for me but I still really enjoyed the film. I too thought it it was LOTR level fantasy. And I know those two LOL parts. I really had a good uncontrollable laugh.
Just watched the movie, it was pretty good! It was a little hard to follow in the beginning but I got the gist after awhile ( for being a non d and d fan). Lillis was my favorite character. That whole shape shifting scene was awesome so cool!
the horse cgi on some of the panoramic shots was wonky but the owl bear was fantastic and the tubby dragon. an enjoyable slightly overly long movie. pine not being giga chat ultimate warrior knight worked because he's not those he's a bard. so it make sense.
Now have I seen the movie, it premiered this Friday here in Sweden. Great fun, I think it’s a 7.8 (imdb scale). A fantasy version of Guardians of the Universe.
I saw this movie early and was pleasantly surprised. It was fun and hilarious as well. I think everyone should see it. The VFX was better than ant man 3. Overall 8/10
The directors were just talking recently how they were originally signed on to do The Flash movie but sat down for a meal with Ezra Miller and changed there minds abruptly 😂
Best choice ever made probably 😂
The best thing about dungeon and dragons, is that you can keep pumping out movies with different casts, since you can just label it as a new campaign, with a new cast of characters.

Just came out of my local cinema for a midnight show of *Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves* and let me tell you IT'S THAT GOOD!!!!!! 8.5/10 👍
love that John Francis Daley directed this after seeing him in Freaks and Geeks. Worth UA-caming the D&D scene its so heartwarming.

No need for momentum. Once word gets out how great this movie is people will want to go see it again. It's that amazing, epic, and funny to me.
This movie is now sitting at 90% Critic/ 93% Audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. I have seen this and can strongly recommend - it is very good.
The dragonborns in this movie looked so good. And so did the aarocokras. The only issue I had was with the tabaxi characters.

I guess they must have spent the money on CGI in the film, because the poster and some of the marketing materials makes it look like a cheap film from the 2000s
The way you pronounced Legolas is outrageous! 10:58
I'm just another person that was able to see the Amazon Prime early showing on March 19th and was glad I did! I haven't played D&D since the 3rd edition, but I still play some of the official games that can be bought on Steam/GOG (for Windows and Mac OS), and I immediately recognized SO MUCH of the established (Forgotten Realms) lore that was used in this movie! And while I found the movie predictable a few times, there was one thing that I never saw coming and I had a good laugh when I saw it, which I believe was the intention all along.
The forehead tattoo was a strange choice indeed but for what it’s worth, it was sort of explained in one of the flashbacks, and it is fitting considering where he is from.
Grace, I play you at 1.25x speed and it feels natural for you. Listening to you on normal speed freaks me out because I'm worried you had a stroke!
All 7 of the people in that photo rock, I can't wait to see this movie.
Grace please treat yourself to all the naughty and fabulous tidbits that IS Bridgerton! Both seasons are such fun. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend
I loved that they put the cartoon characters. It was awesome. To reference them in the maze.
They still haven’t got home
saw the amazon pre screening, and I hope we get a cinematic universe for this!
I saw it a week ago, it was such a pleasant movie
Grace, love your videos! Please please please upload in 1080p or better. I start squinting everytime your video starts.
Wow I am shocked how u like this movie I am differently looking forward to seeing it now lol😅
@Grace I love your videos they should invite you on the talk shows in New York like Sherri to talk about movies I’m just saying
I was already pretty excited to watch this movie and now I can’t wait to go see it! I remember thinking this movie was one of the few I really wanted to see in a theater.
Just got to see the movie this weekend as it was just released in Poland. But Grace there actually was an Easter egg that hints to Critical Role in the movie! In the scene where Justin Smith’s character does the spell for “fresh cut grass,” it’s a nod to one of the player’s character whose name is Fresh Cut Grass. So while the cast of Critical Role is not in the movie themselves, the movie does give a small shout out to them for everything they’ve done for the world of DND.
Just saw this movie and it was a truly enjoyable experience. It's the first movie I've seen since covid. Funny, great action sequences, love the world building and different locations.
Dungeons and dragons fans keep winning.
March has been fantastic, not a single non-banger (I even liked 65!).
EDIT: I too am worried they have been doing way too many sneak previews for this taking away from the opening weekend, don't want to Love Simon it (that movie was great also).
Didn't realize they were doing early showings until I saw this video and I checked my local theater for this Sunday, its basically full. Guess will just go opening Weekend, for sure. Been playing DnD for 30 years
Such a great movie! Just watched this with my boyfriend and we both loved it. Fun, good story, great characters, beautiful graphics, made us emotional, and just good in every way. Highly recommended
The biggest problem this movie will have is that the huge roleplay community is currently not happy with the D&D brand and that may affect box office numbers.
Indeed. I'm curious to see how the OGL backlash affects the box office.
Paramount already signed The directors for a deal with the studio
Jus saw it and loved it. Y'know I have a bias being a big dnd fan and it's not like amazing etc but it was so much fun with great vfx, fun action sequences, clever uses for magics, and a very charming cast. I had a lot of fun and would be down for future films in this world.
Grace I read elsewhere that Alonzo got fired for Argentina 1985. What's you're take on that ???
Wow Grace , you've convinced me too see it. I always appreciate & trust your opinion. Thanks for the review!
Very enjoyable movie. Great action sequences & tons of humor. The movie is so visually & technically well done. This is the type of fun you go to the theatre for.
Francis and Daley were writers on Spider-Man: Homecoming btw
do agree with you a lot, but your review of John Wick 4 just made me realise how subjective film is. JW 4 is incredible masterpiece in my opinion. I cant believe you gave it a rotten tomato.
If only you knew how difficult it is to play a wizard in DnD, at least you didn't say druid XD
Giiiiiirrrrrrl! You need to hop on that Rege-Jean Page train with the rest of us and watch Bridgerton! 😍😘🥰💖
I saw this Last week. I'm a casual D&D fan..and thought the film was fun. Very comic booky in the sense there's a lot of modern language and one liners, humor. It's way better than the 2000s one.
Since you asked, Grace, I usually play Thief, Paladin or Fighter.
Once upon a time, Daley was attached to The Flash
The movie was AMAZING and can't wait to see it a second time.
I saw a sneak peak yesterday Thursday afternoon (only one in the whole theater). I absolutely loved it. I hope a lot of people treat themselves. I’m not a D&D fan, I’ve tried playing and it’s not for me but I still really enjoyed the film. I too thought it it was LOTR level fantasy. And I know those two LOL parts. I really had a good uncontrollable laugh.
Just watched the movie, it was pretty good! It was a little hard to follow in the beginning but I got the gist after awhile ( for being a non d and d fan). Lillis was my favorite character. That whole shape shifting scene was awesome so cool!
My favorite character was Holga because one of my DnD friends plays characters like her all the time
I love that the CB poster is cropped at the beginning for…reasons 😂😂
I want to see this for Chris Pine. I love him! I know nothing of D&G except for the Big Bang Theory.
I really enjoyed this movie. Shame its not going to do much at the box office. My theatre was almost empty.
Great time in 4DX.
Pine kept asking for this one parole board member to be present 😂...that was funny 😂
Great time for movies!! I've been to the theatres so much this month!
YES! I really hoped it will be good and it's not a comic book movie! finally
This movie was PHENOMENAL! INSTANT CLASSIC! I think it is going to have SERIOUS legs on streaming
I'm so excited!! Grace always has the best content!
I agree with you Grace ... Loveness needs to go. Can't wait for D&D!
Glad it's a good movie. So many of these D&D like movies are pretty bad. I always hope a movie will be good. Who wants to see a bad movie?
Lalala-loved this flick! My childhood, game and Saturday morning cartoon series. This movie will get multiple theatrical viewings🎬
the horse cgi on some of the panoramic shots was wonky but the owl bear was fantastic and the tubby dragon. an enjoyable slightly overly long movie. pine not being giga chat ultimate warrior knight worked because he's not those he's a bard. so it make sense.
Couldn’t believe that Legolas pronunciation. That threw me me so hard
I really wanted this to be the 80s cartoon as it could have been stranger things esq… I hope they do do it one day as it was so loved xx
Now have I seen the movie, it premiered this Friday here in Sweden. Great fun, I think it’s a 7.8 (imdb scale). A fantasy version of Guardians of the Universe.
I saw this movie early and was pleasantly surprised. It was fun and hilarious as well. I think everyone should see it. The VFX was better than ant man 3. Overall 8/10
I've been looking forward to this since I saw the first trailer last year. And now with all these glowing reviews I definitely am.
After a while watching your videos I can say that for sure you would love to play Tabletop Roleplaying games, is right in your alley.
