For the "are the VFX complete" comment you said when the dragon breathed out sludge instead of fire, they actually probably are. The dragon looked like it had black coloring which in D&D means it breathes out acid instead of fire. Just letting you know that not only are the VFX likely complete, it means that the people behind the movie at least did some poking around a few rulebooks
Are you kidding? This trailer is almost more of an ad for the Monster Manual than anything else - displacer beast! Gelatinous cube! Owlbear! Chromatic dragons with appropriate breath weapons! Even a mimic! Don't be shocked if we see other signature D&D monsters like mind flayers and beholders pop up in the next trailer.
Was about to comment the same. Was so excited to see I new type of breath on a dragon in a movie 😊
@@Melancthon7332 I know right? IT WAS A LINE BREATH NOT A CONE... and the black dragon had the distinctive horns! It looks like what every D&D nerd ever wanted tbh lol But who knows if the general public would apreciate. I hope so!
Very astute observation about the Dragon's breath. And good on Grace for ❤️ your comment. It shows that she's willing to open her horizons against something she doesn't know.
YES! I'm unreasonably excited for this movie purely based on the fact that whoever made it actually seems to have done their research (or is probably a player themselves). After so many game to screen adaptions that completely ignored the source material (halo, resident evil most recently) it's great to see one actually respect it.
It doesn’t have to be good. It just has to be more interesting than whatever else is playing at the theater.
haha 100%
Not sure how true this is nowadays with COVID. I think a lot of traditional cinema goers only come out now for must-sees, box office seems to support that.
Such high expectations lol
@@BeyondTheTrailer Chris Pine featuring in 2 amazing trailers so far. I still don't understand the appeal of D&D and they broke it down very well in Community.
@@Spinbassflipbassfly Yeah, my attitude Pre-2020 was always on some weekend morning, head to the matinee and blindly buy tickets for whatever, even if its Rated-G, and hope for the best. Worse that could happen is I have a nice comfy early afternoon nap in a theater, than spend the rest of the day in Barnes & Noble in the shopping mall. Those days are loooooooooong gone. I miss them.
"We didn't mean to unleash the greatest evil ever known"
Every DnD Game ever.
And the next part, " now better clean our mess" also every campaign ever !
Did someone use the Head of Vecna again?
Once, we had a campaign where we (the party) ran away or avoided all challenged the GM threw at us. Plague? Zombie Apocalypse? Tax Collectors? RUN AWAY. 😀
@@unicyclepeon Once, I (a gnome wizard) managed to polymorph like 3 very strong enemies in a row into crabs. The DM refused to let me attempt to polymorph the dragon final boss, basically out of spite at this point.
This is exactly how D&D is, after all its friends getting together to have fun playing a game. Though it can be serious and moving it can also get quite silly.
Why do adults paly this game?
@@suzygirl1843 Cause its fucking AWESOME
@@suzygirl1843 It's "Let's Pretend" crossed with simple or elaborate scenarios. When played well, there's room for being creative, trying on a different "face", and a bit of "us vs the monsters" competition. It can be a collaborative storytelling exercise, like a writer's circle, or just a pleasant excuse for an afternoon/evening with friends.
D&D is just one framework among hundreds of tabletop roleplaying games, and even within D&D, over 30+ yrs there have been a wealth of worlds and cultures to seed your own stories with, or to guide your own new stories.
Adults play TTRPGs, incl D&D, for the same reasons humans have always told and listened to stories.
Led Zeppelin is an awful song choice? Jesus christ..
@@Wl23W-i7i Eh, it's how D&D is right now in the minds of folks who are big into Critical Role. It's not my cup of tea, but I'm probably not the target audience for the movie :) I will say that just like Led Zeppelin and Thor comics definitely made sense, so too does it go with classic D&D.
The MCU was basically just tapping that nostalgia vein with using "The Immigrant Song" (and their budget!), and this trailer is trying to do the same - all the Critical Role hijinks for new fans, and some Zep for old ones. We'll see if it works though.
As a D&D fan, this looks perfect.
I’m not a dnd fan but this does look pretty interesting
TRUE!
Now I want a rule change so druids can wild shape into monstrosities 🤣
I just saw it. And boy was it good!!!
Didn't realize it till now but Chris Pine seems like the Dungeon Master which is why he does nothing but make plans.
I liked seeing the classic D&D monsters make appearances: owlbear, mimic, displacer beast, and even a gelatinous cube!
Just pray that they use them better than the last time there was a theatrical D&D movie.
They got us all hyped with Beholders in the trailer only to use them as mook monsters in the human army with less than 3 minutes of total screen time.
"We didn't mean to unleash the greatest evil the world has ever known". Typical D&D party :)
hey grace! dnd player here. to clarify, the appeal of the game is generally **that** it looks like the same tropey story, usually. at least to start. when a party is new or they just meet, you get excited to joke about and have fun with a story that looks pretty close to this.
the fun as you go on is what the player can do to make the tropes wilder, funnier, darker etc.
but players are usually quite in on the tropes seeming the same at face value. the main plot, mcguffin, whatever are honestly usually secondary to the entertainment. the character dynamics and personal backstories are usually taken a lot more seriously.
but yeah, the initial appeal is usually "i bet i can take the same redhead tiefling girl type [what sophia is playing] and make them weird or funny or more interesting."
it seems in the film itself, that the coliseum sequence is set up as a staged dnd campaign within the movie, where the floor is a grid and it's populated with well known trope creatures. they're having fun.
I wasn’t too interested in this movie... but holy moley: I LOVED this Trailer so damn much! I cannot wait for March 2023 now. This movie looks so bonkers and good
YEAH!!!!
Grace: "You can see a trend in the movies im listing here"
Me: "Um you mean fantasy films?"
I am super excited for this! I thought the trailer looked great. Seeing Chris Pine as the bard brought a smile to my face. And the owlbear, black dragon, and the other creatures looked awesome!
As a fan of D&D who was worried about the movie I'm now excited. The Owl Bear, acid spitting Black Dragon, and the spells are very specifically D&D and its great to see them realized. Also it's not every D&D mission but it's a lot of them.
I like it a lot but i did wonder would fans be unhappy with this but u seem cool with it so that's great
To address your question at 5:36, it depends on the DM (Dungeon Master); his (or her!) imagination and sense of game balance determine what the PCs (Player Characters) face. A DM that constantly throws high level monsters (and enemies) that the PCs aren't high enough level and/or equipped to handle will have a very short lived campaign!
I gotta say, as a non D&D fan, this looks very well made! I like all the visual effects that look like a lot of work went into! Might watch 😁
I’m really into the trailer. I like how it isn’t taking itself 2 serious but serious enough to do the source material right. Love seeing all the monsters from the monsters book.
Every blockbuster are going the comedy rout
Route
As a Dungeons & Dragons player myself (and from my experiences), there’s usually some humour during quests by either players or the DM (the Dungeon Master). I’m also happy to see that there’s a variety of character classes in this party of characters as well (the ones I’m most happy to see are the magic based characters)
DnD can be serious and dark as well. It depends on what kind of story you want to play.
I’m sad that you didn’t react to House of the Dragon trailer 😢
And she said she would in an old video as she replied to my comment. She also said she is going to cover the show
I gotta say this actually looks really good, it kinda reminds of Thor Ragnarok and it looks like a ton of fun a true adventure comedy, I’m not really a huge Dungeons and Dragons but have watched some campaigns but now I am heavily interested in this now.
Y'know why it looks like Ragnoroc? Cause that's where they ripped it off from.
File off the MCU logo and add some stuff from the monster manual.
Wizards of the Coast never does anything original if they can squeeze some cash outta somebody else's hard work.
No House of the Dragon reaction? 🙁
are u going to react to house of the dragon?
I am not a DnD fan *at all* but this actually looks good! 😅
Me: Watches someone react to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves first trailer
UA-cam adds: Oh, would you like to see it again
This is a great look and feel. I just hope it has the right amount of explaining without being patronizing. So far so good. Side note, have ZERO idea why they didn't ask Joe Manganiello who is a huge fan of this genre.
I know Joe Manganiello would be perfect!
Kinda hyped for this movie homie 🔥🔥🤙🏾
I hope after the movie it cuts to the actors’ characters in the real world in their living room or basement with the actual board game. Looking forward to seeing this.
I was hoping for the same thing, maybe not the same actors but, I would love for there to be a lego moviesque post credit scene.
Looks SO much better than I thought it would...and love that they are actually referencing the D&D monster manual with the creatures and characters....finally using what people actually want in a fantasy movie!
Personally I think I would watch it it looks like they did their research and they worked with the actual D&D people to get the monsters correct. It also feels like you're jumping into a campaign. To me personally it looks like an actual campaign adventure. Plus I do believe they're taking heavily influences from the books of D&D and work with other Dnd creator's and finally it's going to be nice to actually watch a dungeon and dragons thing with my family. As much as I love critical role I can't really show vox machina it to my family.
This trailer is FULL of D&D spells, creatures, and locations straight out of the books.
It is full of Fan service. 😍
This is how Fan IPs should be made.
I’ll definitely stream the hell out of this when it’s available. It does look like a lot of fun with a cool cast.
I’ve played D&D and this look really good and like a fun time. Can’t wait to see all the easter eggs and world building come to life in a very D&D type setting
This trailer had the vibes of all the mcu trailers. You could’ve told me the people behind the thor trailers did this and I believed it. It looks good tho.
This would actually make me go to the theatre cause it really looks funny and like you'd have a fun time.
Omg Grace! Where’s your HOUSE OF THE DRAGON coverage???! 😩 I thought this was that lol
i think the franchise could be really cool as an anthology where each movie focuses on a new group going on a new adventure
This bring back memories when I played that D&D game on 🎮 Game Cube called Buldurs Gate. With awesome characters like Mincs with his pet rat Boo lol such a good game.
There was quite a few D&D Easter Eggs in this trailer for the fans of the game. I really enjoyed the Gelatinous Cube Cameo. It kind of has A Knight's Tale vibe with Fantasy & Magic splashed. Excited to watch this with my 9 and 11 year old nephew. They aren't quite ready for some of the explicit material in Vox Machina.They have copies of different Monster Manuals and Enjoy make up stories about them, when we aren't playing.
Best Grace Take: Are we really going to have a "Dragon" in a Dungeons and Dragons Movie?
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves looks so much fun! What a stellar cast as well!
ok ok but it looks so fun and close to the actual game. this feels like exactly what a campaign goes
Quick heads up on the Critical Role vs DND thing: the parent company of dnd (Wizards of the Coast) is separate from critical role and has been around for ages. CR is newer. Like 2015 new. And the success of critical role has made DND explode in popularity and caused massive success for Wizards of the Coast. But they dont control CR. And as CR has been publishing their own books/games (some through WotC some not) there is a sense of “is DND anything without critical role”. This is exacerbated by the Vox Machina show. In my opinion, this movie is WotC attempting make their mark on public view of dnd and essentially “take the dnd name back” from critical role.
Typing this just from the screen grab and poster. This looks like what I want. Now to watch it to see...
I love it when a trailer includes a trailer for the trailer within it.
This is called dedication..thank you grace
I’m an indie publisher of DnD adventures and it was great to see these classic monsters on screen! 😍 Will definitely check this movie out!
Most D&D campaigns among friends are "Beer & Pretzels" types of deal where people hang, eat, trade jokes, all while trying to craft a good story together at the table. Some of course are more serious and intense than others, of course, but for the most part the tone of the trailer kind of captures the general tone of a D&D session.
I really enjoyed this trailer and I’m very excited
Looks good from what little I’ve seen from the trailer. I’m pretty excited for this!
This look like a great fun, action packed movie! and the fact that they are tacking a heist approach is brilliant!
Gives me First Knight vibes, I’m excited. Great title too, as a D&D fan👍
I realize I am the target audience (play D&D), but I really enjoy recognizing everything that is going on. I will say a lot of basic campaigns do come down to stealing something or doing a job that might go wrong or something. There is the potential for very varied stories in vastly different settings than just basic fantasy, but this is the safe route for a studio with things main stream consumers probably recognize. The different stories/settings will have to wait for if D&D proves to be a decent or good IP to make movies around.
Seeing iconic monsters like the owlbear and the mimic is really cool!
I saw a druid use wild shape
I saw an owl bear
I saw someone cast misty step
I saw a fighter doing like 3 attacks in one turn
and a Bard being a Bard
Possibly Vecna??
okay I'm in
God I hope there's a Beholder
Displacer Beast
Gelatinous Cube
Mimic
@@Awol991 Those too!
In D&D dragon powers align to the colour of their skin. The green dragon at the start probably has acid breath, rather than game of thrones Fire breath... I thought it was a smart idea to do something different.
Looks really action-packed!
This looks like a “pop an edible and watch it in 3-D” kind of movie.
„Are those vfx complete?“
Yes, they are. That‘s a black dragon, that means acid, not fire.
Also, Chris Pine as the party‘s bard is probably the most perfect casting since Deadpool playing Ryan Reynolds.
I just loved what "Corridor Digital" did!
There are a lot of references to the most iconic D&D monsters, though the average movie goer will probably just think they are generic monsters.
this looks amazingly awesome👍👍
I'm happy to see how new clever ways of spells use they do.
The level of VFX that Marvel would come up short on, in the first half of the Thor franchise 🙂. Michelle Rodriguez is a favorite from the FF movies, I'll watch.
I LOVE the cast so I'm super excited for this movie lmao
Its the Bread and Butter staple, adventuring party taking on a quest. This ones more a "acquirement" start, but thats how it rolls sometimes. Adventuring parties are very mercenary, but sometimes folks start from the same city, or same faction, sometimes they don't. This is the pretty generic start, but its still fun!
I'll give this a chance in theaters. They look like they are having fun.
I love the ponytail look ! You should rock it more often ! It looks goos on you
I think that Grace never tried a D&D game. It's not as silly as she thinks. There are a lot of rules and tactics.
Grace get some sleep before saturday its gonna be such a fun weekend!
I’m still can’t believe Joe Manganiello is not in this movie.
It looks amazing 😱😱😱
They have a treasure trove of source material. Be faithful to it and the fans will reward them.
This doesn’t look amazing. But it does look really fun. And honestly, as long as there isn’t anything else I have going on and want a fun time, I’ll probably watch it.
I'm impressed how on point the D&D Beastiary is here. Acid spewing black dragons, mimics, owl bears, and displacer beasts. I actually feel interested in watching this.
Dungeon Master back on the day. Most of my campaigns did start in the tavern.
This looks like a lot of fun! I've never played DnD but this looks entertaining and something along the idea of what happens in DnD campaigns. I was wondering if it was going to be a straight up DnD story just set in the DnD world or if they'd intercut between this and the main stars playing DnD tabletop. Looks like just a DnD story?
What about your House of Dragon trailer reaction and breakdown???
A gelatinous cube! Finally!!!
As someone who has been playing dnd for close to a decade - this trailer *perfectly* captures the energy of dnd. I was a bit hesitant when I heard they were making a dnd movie, but after seeing this trailer I could not be more excited - it looks so fun!
Looks awesome!
My knowledge of Dungeons and Dragons comes from Stranger Things, the weird knockoff from Riverdale, and the one-act "She Kills Monsters" which is actually quite good and very funny. I saw it years and years ago, and it was memorable enough for me to recognize the gelatinous cube in this trailer.
Rocking the pony Grace? Love it!!
Aw, wish there were more non-human characters. It's one of the best parts.
Yeah an entire party of humans seems like a missed opportunity. Human woman barbarian? Not a half-orcess? Shame.
You don't even need much in terms of VFX. Most just need a few practical effects.
I recall a pair of surveys - one from D&D Beyond, and one from Baldur's Gate 3 - that looked at what races/creature types players were actually using. Admittedly, both groups lean hard into newer players. But still the overwhelming majority, I think 80%+, went for human. Not even half-elf.
I don't know if it's because a lot of modern fantasy seems to be humans-only (or mostly), because of the stat boosts & flexibility, or because people now are basic LOL But that's probably why they went with a nearly all-human party here.
At least the druid is a Tiefling
Oh and while it was stated below that the dragon was likely finished CGI or close to, I just want to say that it is spot on to the image of the black dragon adult from the D&D monster manual. They do indeed spit acid instead of fire.
D&D has 10 famous dragon subspecies, the good metallic and evil chromatic, as well as five lesser known neutral gem based ones. The blue dragon from Legend of Vox Machina was a chromatic type that breaths lightning, and the dragons at the end of the season are other chromatics. Red and gold are fire, silver and white are ice, black and copper are acid, blue and bronze are lightning, green is poison gas, and brass is intense heat (so like fire but less flames and more furnace air). The gems are generally weirder types and also psychic.
Looking great with the ponytail and glasses! Hope your having a good week!
First, while I really liked the Legend of Vox Machina animated show, it's much sillier and less emotional impact that the actual Critical Role live play.
Though putting a movie in the critical Role universe would be awesome (and it's technically part of the D&D multiverse as there is official content), Wizards of the Coast wants to highlight their default setting (Forgotten Realms, and this takes place in the main geographic region there) not the one created by Matt Mercer, even if they owe a lot to him and the CR team and have a good working relationship.
01:42 This vfx is WAAAAAAYYYYY BETTER than anything MCU's put out in Phase 4...Come on now, Grace!
“Maybe Dungeons and Dragons doesn’t have a lot of variation.” Long time fan of Grace, longer D&D fan. This is perhaps the single most offensive thing she’s ever said. xD
There are always commonalities amongst campaigns (archetypes, tropes, etc.) but D&D is actually one of the most diverse templates for stories out there! All about what you bring to it. This movie looks to be going for a classic Swords & Sorcery vibe.
That is *literally* the thought that I had listening to her.
I had to turn it off at that point 😅
As for the trailer, if they're going old-school Sword & Sorcery, I don't see it, outside the use of Zep music. A big issue I see is that the 5e/Critical Role/Stranger Things era is geared hard towards applying modern sensibilities to classic tropes, with a lot of self-aware humor & nostalgia for an era that is actually before their time.
This feels more like a parody deconstruction of classic D&D, compared even to non-Tolkien 80s fantasy staples like Ladyhawke, Krull, or Conan. I wasn't the biggest Dragonlance or Drizzt fan, but I'd take a live-action of those over this Guardians of the Grasslands stuff.
My only Dungeons and Dragons knowledge comes from tv, specifically Community and Stranger Things, but I think this looks like a lot of fun. I'll watch it!
I love your reviews, your positive tone of voice, and dissection of details! Thank you! Please keep it up!
Aw that means so much, Pierce!! Thank u for being so generous and your encouragement!
Definitely hyped to see michelle rodriguez🔥🔥🤧
It’s been a while since I played D&D but my recollection is that not all the campaigns have this flow but to me the best ones did. Looks promising, will wait for reviews though.
I'm excited :)
Ok. I have to admit. I had doubts but this looks damn awesome
I am probably going to see it because I have been playing lots of dungeons and dragons games on pc. Chris Pine and Michelle is almost always great to watch, in action packed movies.
I've been playing D&D for 30+ years. This looks fun :)
Cautiously optimistic about this
Trailer looks awesome! Like lord of the rings mixed with guardians of the galaxy
This looks so fun!
THIS MOVIE LOOKS LIKE FUN!
Grace are you also gonna react to the House of The Dragons latest trailer?
