I've come to the slow realization that Chris Pine is one of my favorite actors. He kills it in everything. Even when he's in awful movies, he's always the best part.
He's always having fun, and I dig it.
Completely agree, he was the only decent thing in 1984, the rest, no comment, haha.
@@ryanmarkley1979 well him and pedro pascal playing a campy villlain was fun
He has that je ne sais quoi of screen presence like Paul Newman or Rod Steiger.
Agreed! I even like him in The Finest Hours and This Means War. Such a class act, even after being spat on.😊
I’m honored to give your critical hit joke it’s first thumbs up. Lol.
It took me a second to get it, but then I couldn't stop laughing! Well played Dan.
I can honestly say that that Critical Hit, was a Confirmed Critical Roll.
The studio should pay Dan a commission because he just sold me on going to see this
me too! I just decided I have to see this on theaters
IKR? I wouldn’t have given this a second thought except for this review 😂
All the other reviews have been positive too. The only negative criticism I have heard is the shoddy CGI in some places but that's just a minor nitpick and not a real criticism cuz even many recent superhero movies had weak CGI. D&d is a mid budget film and they just couldn't afford the gamble of spending more on CGI especially after the last D&d movie bombed.
That's called bribery
@Skyward LP I saw it last night and thought it was great. And so did the two people I saw it with, and it seemed the other viewers as well. We bought our tickets.
I love seeing Dan just enjoy a film and not to have to address big issues or breakdown why a film wasn’t really great. ❤🎉😊
Well, he never really HAS to address big issues, does he? It sounds like he usually CHOOSES to address big issues, whereas this time he chose not to address Wizards of the Coast's attempt to kill the Open Gaming Liscense.
@@adamdavis1648 probably because it's a MOVIE review.
@@jaedo6180 That apparently hasn't stopped him before, unless Fenton Read-Smith is making things up.
@Adam Davis 1) I barely know the circumstances around that and from what I do know, I thought that issue had been resolved. 2) Even if that was something I was up to speed on, it's not tied into this movie in any way. That would be like me giving The Batman a negative review because I disagreed with Warner Media's business practices. It's irrelevant.
@@adamdavis1648 what? That doesn't make sense.
I'm no lawyer, I just work for them, but I watched a video by a lawyer, who broke down the changes. Not sure if anything changed since then, and frankly, I don't really give AF, but it seemed fair, if not generous, to me.
I am a 30 year fan of D&D, but also a big fan of heist movies and 80s fantasy films. I watched an early screening yesterday and the movie was a delight. Happy to see it getting good reviews. I've recommended it to several friends already.
I know nothing about D&D but I do hope the movie does well. There’s a huge fandom and I really love it when a movie or tv show does right by fans. There’s nothing like seeing something you love come to life on film. It’s like you get to fall in love with it all over again. There’s usually such a feeling of joy in the theater when watching with a crowd who is so happy and excited 😊
It's LOTR and GOT light without being too serious. They nailed the fun loving comedy.
Something I noticed and appreciate about this movie is how it utilizes the DnD campaign formula so well in the movie. It feels like a fun adventure, with good humor, fantastic characterization and plot development, and as you mentioned the structure of the movie is basically a DnD campaign. THATS how you use IP right there. Very excited about this film
Im so glad they went the route of the feel of a DND campaign with friends, but not the actual content or lore of the game. imgaine if this was completely series and true to the source material. it would feel like a dnd world, but not a dnd campaign
To be honest I’m exactly the opposite. I’ve played plenty of DnD but taking the jokey not taking it serious nature of a play session and setting it to a film feels the movie is a parody of a story that has never been told. Like if last of us was about playing a video game instead of the story.
Definitely putting the lore directly on screen would have been unwatchable but I wish they just found stories they wanted to tell within the setting if they want to use the ip kinda like how Arcane did.
That said it’s just a subjective opinion and hope you enjoy the movie!
Seen it. It's alright not great. Of all the story lines they could have went with we got the boring one. NPC are pretty good tho.
Really interesting seeing this EXACT comment posted on several reviews by different Users. Keep up the astroturfing, Wizards, but maybe change the comment a bit so it's not so obvious.
@Mike is this to me, because I definitely am not a bot 🤣 I even said I didn't watch the movie
I saw it yesterday and it was AMAZING! And that’s coming from someone who doesn’t know the first thing about D&D. Amazing Action/Adventure/Fantasy, SITUATIONAL comedy (not cheap one liners 🙄 looking at you Shazam and Marvel in general 👀) great cast chemistry- great script- story - SO DAMN GOOD! Now I hate using this word because I find it asinine to describe movies but this film was FUN! 👏🏾
I saw this just yesterday and had a blast! I do play dnd and appreciated all the little jokes. Especially that every spell used is game accurate. Definitely felt like a throw back to Pirates of the Caribbean and The Mummy.
I’m not a gamer, but the clips Dan showed reminded me of those movies too. Even though I don’t have a D&D background, it really gives me joy when a movie or tv show manages to get it right for an IP that has such a huge fan base. Not only is there such a positive vibe in the theater, but when that many people love the original IP I’ve come to realize that is indicative that there’s something special about it. Might not necessarily be my cup of tea but more often than not, I’ve found something to appreciate about it myself.
It also pleasantly reminded me of The Mummy - the Brendon Fraser one, not the Tom Cruiser movie.
Watch out, you're in danger of someone claiming you're an unethical schill because you admitted you liked the movie! Lol. It's been weird. I watched some reviews before seeing the movie myself, and I'll be damned if there aren't some ppl who just can't believe that ppl really do like the movie. It's all some sinister WoTC conspiracy, apparently. I mean, if WoTC has managed to really get some of the ppl who were aggressively campaigning against the OGL to suddenly schill for them over a movie, they really are some GD wizards 😁
The bit I really appreciated from accuracy was the guy stopping the wizard by putting his hand over his mouth. Just cutting off the verbal component and really messing up his round
Wait, no, also I’d been worried from the trailers that they were jumping into a gelatinous cube and I was all “that’s a terrible idea” and then in the film it was a terrible idea but it made sense
I have never seen you more proud of one of your intro jokes, and you deserved it. That was phenomenal!
I got to see D&D yesterday, and it was actually really good. As a player of the game for many years, I felt it captured the fun of a group of friends around a table.
One of the biggest surprises in recent memory. I have been able to predict punchlines in comedies for so long, and in D&D even if you see it coming they still executed it very well. The movie was able to make everything feel familiar without needing to give audience tutorials. I haven't had so much fun watching a movie in awhile. Even some of the jokes being spoiled in the trailer, they still manage to not fall flat during the screening. The writing was impressive and the plot pacing was fantastic. I am looking forward to re-watching it.
It's like LOTR or GOT light without being too serious. The comedy is the best part. Hugh Grant is awesome as the wry villain and ending is perfect using the one wish to bring back their friend instead of the wifey.
Dan, what you described in the pacing is what a good DM does. A 4 hour session can feel like 20 minutes if done right.
That's to balance the fact that a 30 second combat takes about 2 hours of play time! 6 seconds a round, baby! 🤣
6:05 - It just hit me: Simon the Sorcerer.... guess at least one of the writers grew up loving point+click adventures in the 90s😆
Yes I remeber that game! Wasnt there a part when you have to go to a McDonalds restaurant rip off
This is SUCH a relief -- the trailers show so freaking much I was concerned it would be a dud. Super exciting to hear it's solid!
I haven't watched the whole review, but does he mention that the trailers show too much? Or say anything about how they don't, actually? I was concerned about that, too.
They do show some of the big action moments in the trailer. It doesn't quite show the character conflicts and the motivations of the leader of the team as well as what the characters' journeys will be. That stuff makes those action beats all the more enjoyable. This is definitely got the vibe of a hidden gem to it that I hope hits big in a good way (in spite of the releases of John Wick 4 and Super Mario Bros.)
The great thing about the trailers they produced is that they have arranged it, so it doesn't give away any of the plot or surprises. It didn't ruin any of the movie.
Hearing that the setting is Neverwinter gave me a fine chuckle. That was one of my favorite d&d mechanics based video games when I was younger.
I LOVE your cold opens Dan!!! 😂 Looks like you are having a blast doing them and we certainly do too watching them! 🙌🏻
I'm enthusiastic that the review embargo has lifted so early. It usually means that the people distributing the film are confident that they have a great product on their hands. I've only recently gotten into D&D and I can't wait to watch this with my D&D buddies.
The only negative takes I've seen are from people who are mad the directors said emasculating the men in the movie was fun or something. I don't know the exact quote I don't really care but of course that upset the exact people one would imagine. It's a cringe thing to say... I guess? But the movie looks great and I'm excited for it.
@@FellaGuy2 I mean Bards, Sorcerers and Paladins focus on Charisma, and only the Paladin has a use for Strength.
I feel its quite possible, the people pusing that narrative are the same crowd that gets upset any time there's a female in an action role. Personally I just prefer interesting rounded characters with some depth to them, which is sounds like they've spent the time in this movie giving them that depth.
@@auran82 D&D has always been about anyone being able to be any thing they can imagine (as long as their DM is willing to make up a rule about it). Sure there are racial differences in terms of attributes, but male/female characters aren't differentiated by higher max STR or CHR or whatever. So this whole "a man must be leading the charge, a man must show POWAH not empathy, a man cannot be outwitted by a woman" just sounds like toxic masculinity to me.
@@auran82 it goes a bit further, basically every guy is an idiot
Goddamn that critical hit joke was one for the ages.
As a D&D fan though I'm glad this one is a hit. I'm hoping the Stranger Things effect gets butts in seats too.
Glad to hear this flick getting such solid reviews. The trailers gave me hesitation that it was trying too hard to be Guardians of the Galaxy, but I’ve been cautiously optimistic for this one!
I got to see a pre-screening and you can heavily sense the inspiration from GotG and Avengers in general, but it's still a hell of a lot of fun and entertaining.
@@grabtharshammer2085 I do not agree. The movie is just FUN and FUNNY. That quailities were not created by Marvel. Actually, when I first saw GotG I thought it could have been a D&D game.
Guardians of the Galaxy 1 was from nine years ago, I think I'm fine enough with something big budget aping it after that long.
Simply put, It's a Marvel style but Fantasy based film that actually is fun and solid to watch, not like the drivel mess that was Quantumania or recently inconsistent quality of Phase 4.
i mean guardians did blow a ton of life into movies during that era, i see no reason why this one cant do the same thing
Pine is, and will always be, my favorite Hollywood Chris. He's got the talent, the swag, the vocals, the humor, and the self-awareness that makes him seem much more relatable and down-to-earth than his other Chris competition (with Evans a close second.) Sure, he's a nepo-baby, but he isn't afraid to publically admit his faults and similarly doesn't care if he's conventionally stylish or hip. Plus, let's not forget he's a great voice actor (ex: Rise of the Guardians) and does one heck of a car commercial. All this is to say, I was hype for D&D right from the moment I knew he was cast as a Bard - but now with this review, I'm even more excited for the entire thing (especially to see Pine get some more love!)
I was so worried he wouldnt be a Bard! Love his singing.
My favorite Chris as well!
Saw it yesterday, and Dan is so right about everything. I was nervous going in, but as soon as I sat down I was grinning like a kid, calling out spells and monsters and recognizing D&D tropes and plot elements and just having a fantastic time. Huge recommendation from me.
Went to an advance screening of it this today. It was so much fun. And as someone who maybe goes to the movies once or twice a month, it was so refreshing to just have a good time at the theater.
As someone who's never even come close to a D&D game, I'm really looking forward to this! The trailer looked great, like they actually knew how to convert an adventure game into an adventure movie. And I'm glad the reviews are reassuring.
Even the end credits are cool and creative.
So much fun!
Saw it yesterday as a Birthday Gift! All I can say is that this movie has 100% heart
As a big Dan fan and also a big D&D fan, it makes me very excited to hear you give this such a good review! Can't wait to go watch this one.
I think a lot of people underrated Chris Pine. I can't remember who said it, I was reading an article going back through his films and they were talking about how he's become a lead but he seems to have a lot more fun playing in things like Smokin' Aces or Horrible Bosses 2. Basically he's a character actor with the looks of a leading man. It was one of the best summations of the actor I can remember. He's able to poke fun at himself, he doesn't ever feel self conscious about looking silly or playing against type. For awhile they were trying to put him into more typical leading man fare but to me it feels like his more recent work is letting him play around a little more and he looks like he's having a blast doing so in this movie.
This was a movie where I was leaning towards not going, but open to being persuaded. Dan's enthusiastic recommendation now has me leaning towards going.
Since I’ve never played D&D I almost didn’t even watch the REVIEW, let alone the movie and yet Dan’s done it again - he’s convinced me to try something I wouldn’t have even considered. While Dan and I don’t share the same taste in movies, I do find his assessment of a film’s merits (or lack thereof) to be pretty fair. He’s the only reviewer whose opinion has as much sway as my friends in getting me to try something new.
Thanks Dan, I was in the camp of 'will I like it if I've never played DnD?!' I'm glad you addressed this straight away and I'm actually looking forward to watching this movie now without that worry!
Marvelously done. As a D&D veteran since 1978, I approached the movie with cautious optimism, and I was pleasantly surprised by all aspects of this fine production. Very satisfying for OG players and DMs.
I got to see a Wednesday screening for this movie and I was so glad to see it! It was loads of fun and I was smiling pretty much the whole way through.
Looking forward to this one. It seems like the fantasy version of Galaxy Quest.
Watching "Shazam: Fury of the Gods" with my son, the trailer for this movie came on and we both agreed that it looked fun and could be another trip to the theater.
Saw the movie last night in IMAX! Never played the tabletop game, but this movie has thrilled me and now I'm so involved in learning more about the world hopefully we do get a sequel cuz I'm very much going back into this fantasy Epic action-adventure 😍
As D&D players my husband are so excited to see this movie. I am so pleased to hear this movie was made with care and is faithful to source material.
I went to one of those screenings and I absolutely agree with your review, you did a great job. Adding to it, I do play DnD and the references are everywhere, you can tell it was done with thought and respect for the source material. I also appreciated that they do not get too deep in the lore and deliver just what you need to follow the plot, it is a very accessible movie. And the cast really did great, you can tell they enjoyed making this film. Hope it does well.
To me, it’s a HUGE good sign when people who love the original IP think the movie is solid. They are the harshest critics because they love it so much so if they love the movie (even if it’s not a genre I like), I know at least the movie is well made. For example, I’m not a gamer and I absolutely hate zombies and gore, but since fans of The Last of Us game gave the show such high praise, I decided to try it. And really enjoyed it!
This movie did a really rare thing when adapting from a source material. It perfectly balanced making it accessible and fun for non fans of dnd AND kept true to the source and had a lot of in jokes for us DND nerds! It was legit like watching a real life game, with the joking, so many nods to tropes like the Paladin being controlled by the dm, the overconvuluted puzzles that we mess up and find ways around it, etc lol Our DND group loved every minute, and a few people who have never played dnd loved it. I truly hope this movie is a box office hit!
This was the most fun I had at the movies and I too highly recommend everyone to see it.
We skipped going out for AntMan 3 & 65, because of the poor reviews. Now we're ready to head back to the theatre all Spring for Shazam 2, D. & D., & John Wick 4. I was excited to see the reference to the 80's cartoon in D & D's last trailer.
I saw this via the same Amazon Prime sneak peek, and it's a delight. Dan is not kidding. Great stuff all around. Nice to see a fun new film of this magnitude and honoring a game I loved for many years.
I went opening night to the 2010 D&D movie (ugh...), and now I get to take my kids to see this, and this review has me absolutely giddy!!! 😅
I find it funny that many see Chris pine as the weakest of the Hollywood Chris's. Imho he has always been the most charismatic and dare I say...most willing to take on deeper roles.
This movie had me laughing out loud. 10/10
I am really rooting for this movie's box office. I thought this movie was a lot of fun and had tons of heart!
I'm so happy this is getting good reviews. I love this cast and I've missed going into a big blockbuster movie and haveing fun. Can't wait to see this now.
I know! Lately it’s felt like they all decided since fans were going to show up anyway to just not care about the writing. The plots don’t have to be high literature but they just have to make sense! I even revisited some of my favorite “just for fun” movies from back in the day thinking maybe it was just nostalgia making me feel like it was better in the “good old days.” But nope-things like The Mummy hold up surprisingly well. Fun, not setting up a million other things, simple plot, and characters you could really like. I really miss movies like that
that "Critical hit" bit at the start had me rolling with laughter :D
Dan’s wearing contacts? No, just setting up a great dad joke.
Saw it and loved it. Great film. Great review by you too - this film might LOOK like a high fantasy version of a Marvel movie, but it's got more heart than that.
Strongly agree on Jarnathan. Loved this movie!
Man I am so hyped for this movie, it's just the right kind of fantasy action comedy that I have been missing for a while now, and just crushes it. I really hope people watch it enough to warrant more movie that are this imaginative.
As a long time D&D player and remembering the atrocity that was the 2000 film, you've got me hyped on watching the film Dan! Looking forward to seeing this one.
I'm a fan of the concept of D&D, but tried playing it and learned that wasn't for me. I love that we're getting a proper film so that I can enjoy it in a way that's in my wheelhouse.
And my family and I still haven't gotten back in the swing of going to cinemas again, but we'll definitely be going to this one. I hope it does well enough to give us more.
Out of Curiosity, what didn't you like about D&D?
You should try other tabletop RPGs. There are THOUSANDS of them.
One of your best opening puns. Bravo
Saw it yesterday and I agrree. Also contains a ton of fan-service for us D&D fans.
I saw this yesterday, too, at my local Arkansas theatre. My family had a great time!
Dan, I love how thoughtful and intelligent your reviews are.
I laughed a lot throughout this film. Can't seem to pin down which Chris Pine joke you are referencing though!
Also, I used to scream Pine during the Hollywood Chris debates back in the SJU/Movie Fights days. Glad y'all came around.
This review has kindled my interest. I trust Dan’s reviews.
I think that many have a wait and gauge the reaction after opening weekend mentality for this movie. May be a low second week drop off.
The Hulk tribute was awesome
Really? I was fully expecting this to be another throwaway IP effects movie. Very happy to hear its actually good.
Now I'm interested in seeing it =)
I saw this yesterday and I had a really good time. Was so happy to see Justice Smith really shine. Will definitely be seeing it again!
I'm glad the reviews have been so positive so far, my fear was that it would be too faithful to DnD to be accessible, but glad to hear that is not the case.
I’m glad you pointed out the marketing push for this movie. I’ve seen the advertisements and thought I’d catch it on streaming but your comment about critics standing on the frontlines really made me think. I generally see movies that I’m interested in but ever since your screen junkies days, if you recommend a movie I see it.
So the paladin is the friend of a friend who only comes to the table for just one night.
Just came back from watching the movie and got the same sentiment that its a good ol "come along for the ride" very enjoyable movie
thanks so much for the great review dan!! this is one of my most highly anticipated releases this year and it makes me so happy to hear good things about it - definitely still going to go in without too high of expectations because i don’t want to be disappointed haha but i’m doubly excited to watch this now!
Ever since I heard D&D and Chris Pine I have been excited, watching this has blown that 10xs as high! Can’t wait!
I enjoyed the hell out of this movie and it made me want to play DnD even more.
I got to see an advanced showing this weekend and my friend said the same thing! That it almost feels like they had watched something from years ago where they just had an absolute blast with it. I absolutely loved this one. It was just sooo much fun in a movie, and the whole theater was having fun too!
I can't can't can't wait, I've already sent your review to a bunch of friends! Fantastic as always!
I’ve walked out of Many movies recently, including Avatar and Black Adam, but this movie was so freaking good. Funny, good pacing, 3D characters, just a great, great script. A simple story well told. A real throwback to thrilling big budget movies like Pirates of the Caribbean.
I was going to ignore this film, but between the clip wit the skeleton and the 5 wishes giving me a good laugh and your review, I’m thinking of catching it in theaters
Was able to see an early screening, and I genuinely enjoyed it. I won't spoil anything, but I will say I be down for a sequel.
Chris Pine as a bard character is awesome.
Weit it was over 2 hours long? Felt shorter to me.
Honestly surprised this was released in March. This feels like a movie that’d be released in the summer
Best guess as to why it's releasing now, is they're ramping up the promotion for the next edition of D&D coming in 2024.
March is the new May... ever since BvS.
I am totally on board but, again based of how I ingest media in 2023, I had NO IDEA it was coming out already. So, a big win for Paramount that you are reviewing it. It means now I know it's coming out and I may venture into the theater for the first time in a while.
I went to see this today, largely based on your enthusiastic review. I thought it was really fun. It was cool to see a fantasy movie that, even though it is inspired by existing IP, featured all new characters and a new story. There was a lot of creativity in the action, the magic, and the way things were shot. I enjoyed the humor, especially the parts with Rege-Jean Page. As far as specific moments, I especially liked the fat dragon, and using the portal into the cart was cool too. It would be fun to see more stories in this world, especially if they bring back the same heroes but put them in a new part of the world with new challenges and adventures.
Just got back from seeing it: fun movie, good action; great beginning to a film series. I left wanting more of the characters
I’ve been hearing nothing but good things about this movie. My friends saw an early screening and they said it was a very fun watch. I’ll catch it when it releases soon.
Glad to hear that Pine is getting some praise...being a pretty face can be a curse. Good for Rodriguez gets some exposure. All I'm looking forward to some nice eye candy and eat some popcorn. Thanks for the heads up. Always enjoy your channel...Kudos!
Great review! I'm now looking forward to seeing the movie 😊
The graveyard scene and chubby dragon was amazing. And I am so glad that you can get that draggo as a Magic card.
I was mixed, but probably would have seen this movie anyway. However, with Dan's enthusiasm about it and that it's written by Game Night folks (found out here. Love that movie) definitely will go see it now.
Gets a like for the Critical Hit joke alone.
It looks fun. It might do well since audiences are tired of superhero movies nowadays. It can be a nice movie franchise.
I watch it on charity screening and I loved it!
I really enjoyed this movie, and this review really sums up why! It's a whole lot of fun with a whole lot of heart, it feels accessible for all audiences but especially enjoyable for d&d fans! Really nice to see such a fun creative risk pay off!
Thanks Dan, so glad you liked this, like you, I never played the game at all. I can usually tell how you feel by the cold opens, which I love!
Me and my partner walked out of a screening last night, about half way through. Which we've both never done before. We didn't find it a blast, the script wasn't funny, Chris Pine sucked, it didn't come together for us, it felt like a film I would watch on Netflix randomly on a Sunday afternoon and turn it off after 10 minutes, some of the effects earlier in the film were frightfully bad. This is our opinion and we're both super annoyed because we were really looking forward to this!
The Paladin is really well played in this film.
Wasn’t on my watch list before today, but the hype is steadily growing and I think I will have to see this one now!
Dan,
So happy to see you enjoy a movie like this! Definitely gonna take your recommendation and check it out
I'm glad this looks good. I can imagine it was a difficult pitch. It would appear that some people are tiring of superheroes, so there was an opportunity for something new, but to go to magic and fantasy? That was what was in before superheroes, and "commit to the artistic vision"? Rather than the prince of persia/clash of the titans/gods of Egypt garbage? I am now quite hyped for this one
I also love seeing a straight up funny, entertaining and wholesome fantasy movie. One sad side effect from Game of Thrones is that everything in fantasy now needs to be dark and brooding and color corrected to grey, brown and blue.
hahahaha @Dan, that intro was kickass!
I wanted to see this to begin with and now I really want to see it.
Also, Pine is my favorite Chris. ❤
The scene with the camera chasing the actor up, down & around sounds like the Faberge egg scene in Game Night.
Just wanted to pop back on here and say thanks. Went to see this one based largely on this enthusiastic review, and I thought it was a blast. I hope more people see it. I really appreciated how the visuals of the movie were fully employed: whether providing the energy (the shape chase), scoring a laugh (that's my favorite dragon ever), and helping build out the world (oyster cart). This was a movie that was in full command of all its component pieces, and it was just FUN.
Glad to hear this and hope this is just a fun adventure. Love Pine and glad he still getting big roles because he's so good.
I'm mainly seeing this bc of Chris bro is great In the films he's in and I'm into science fiction so I'm looking forward to this
