I can only assume Chris Pine hasn't been paying his taxes or is trying to sleep with someone who is making this movie.
Kudos for putting an Owlbear on screen.
And I thought the bad guy was a lich at first, turns out it's just 61-year-old Hugh Grant.

My wife and son will probably say "eh, let's go see it anyway".

Looks like a light hearted live action version of Deus Ex Machina which I found entertaining. I wouldn't go to theaters but I would probably watch it.

A lot of people who play DnD interject a lot of humor to it so I don't see a problem with it being a little goofy.

If y'all want a good laugh y'all need to look up the 2000 Dungeons & Dragons movie with Jeremy Irons as the bad guy.

It's so bad it's amazing

As he lays in bed, postcoital with a supermodel, Pine is probably thinking, "With the obscene amount of money I just made, for three months of work on that Dungeons & Dragons movie, where should I buy my fourth home? And how many cars should I keep there?"

This isn't my thing AT ALL - I've never once played the game - but am I the only who thinks this looks kind of fun? Someone in another thread said it has a Guardians of the Galaxy type vibe, and I totally agree.

I'm always in for goofy, if done right. My problem is the goofy cliche lines like, "i'm glad he's on our side." Those are the kind of bad lines that a movie like GotG didn't really have. Makes this look like it could be cringy, but i'll probably check it out once I can get it at Redbox.

I get what they are trying to do but I am not hopeful

I predict this will be a cult classic. Both terrible but absolutely enjoyable at the same time.

Guardians of the galaxy meets game of thrones, meets battleship. And Chris Pine is as personality deficient as ever.

I'll pass.

And yet he still has 500x the charisma of Jeremy Renner.

I can't tell if he thinks that's Chris Klein, or has maybe the worst take on Chris Pine I've ever read.

This definitely calls for a board-wide viewing of Rollerball.

They should get Eddie from Stranger Things, even if it's just a bit character.

i think it looks fun too. in addition to Guardians, they also took a page from ragnarok's playbook with the slow-motion hero leaping toward a monster while led zeppelin rocks.

Yeah, I'm on your page I think. I thought that trailer looked pretty decent.

obviously it's just a trailer, so you can't really tell, but i'll be interested to see whether the D&D tie-in is really necessary. i've never played, but i would imagine stranger things has brought more awareness of it to a wider audience and maybe they're trying to capitalize on that a bit?

having an owlbear as one of the monsters is a pretty deep dive into D&D creature lore. Some of the other beasts in the trailer are straight out of the greatest book ever published, which I've held onto a copy of since the 1980s, the Monster Manual.



You can snag a copy for like $10. If you're a Stranger Things fan, it's great seeing all of the beasts in there - Mind Flayer, Demogorgon, etc.

oh that's interesting. as somebody with no familiarity, i just thought it looked like a fun fantasy-type action movie.

I hope this does well enough to get a Forgotten Realms/Drizzt movie/series in production, but given that they already memory-holed the Community D&D episode where Chang cosplayed a Drow, that's probably a vain hope.

Why does he get so much work? Is he just really easy to work with?

if you've got 5 minutes....this is just some of the best over the top acting you'll ever see

Have you ever seen or heard anyone in the history of this board say "I was not going to see it, but since it has Chris Pine maybe I will"?
Or even say "wow, CP was awesome in that!"
I don't dislike him, I don't avoid his stuff, but he's just got zero gravitas for me, and little range relative to other big name actors. And I'm quite sure I am far from alone in that view.
