I analyzed 300 reviews to find out why people LOVED Dungeons and Dragons

yep, fun time at the theatre with my entire family, grampa, mom, dad, kids ... we all went and we all had a fun time. :)

Story: Good promises and payoffs. Great foretelling of all the rules and building expectations. Comedy: Very connected to the Charecters and world. Action: beautifully choreographed and made sense. clarity about what's going on, and interesting ways to use the tools and environment available.

Remember that time Disney opened up a Star Wars movie with a your mama joke Remember how that movie flopped

its so cool to see DnD becoming more popular

this movie cost about 60 million more than its competition its currently a flop unless worldwide can help break even

Well I would agree, but it has 2 major issues. First many people were already turned off, even dnd fans, due to OGL debacle and negative comments from people who worked on the movie. Second its so close to Mario movie release, which has more fan recognition and fun rating. I'm sure it's a good enough movie for a dnd movie but I'm probably gonna watch mario movie twice with friends and family and passing on dnd movie partly because of said issues but also because nobody I know wanted to see it either.

I think the DND movie's biggest hurdle is John Wick 4 and Mario Bros being released around the same time. Had this movie come out a few weeks earlier I think it would have opened stronger.

Man it would've been great if someone told the creators to shut up in their interviews about purposely degrading the male characters. Not that you cant do that, but once you state it as a goal to be proud of, then the movie can be everything I want in a DnD movie and I'm still not gonna see it. Hell it could be one of the best movies ever and I wont see it. Thats not hoping they fail, but they arent getting my money

Actually giving me hope for watching this.

How do you know that these words were used in a positive context? A positive review could critique the story.

Because it's literally not DnD It's a campy comedy in the likes of marble where you can't take it serious It's your classic example of using an IP for a title that has absolutely nothing to do with the ip

The movie was fun. In the same way that average DnD sessions in an average DnD group is fun. And that`s why I rarely play DnD anymore. And I strongly disagree that Thor Love and Thunder is worse in its application of humour. Thor had very goofy scenes. Agreed. And some of them were over the top. Agreed. But Thor had entire scenes without humour. It had scary scenes and emotional scenes. And they did keep them humour free for good reason. And that`s why they worked. Why is this important? If you mix humour and horror in the same scene you get a funny scene. If you mix humour and drama in the same scene you get a funny scene. If you mix humour and action in the same scene you get a funny scene. Humour is dominant. And that`s where DnD kind of failed me. Because they used humour in all the scenes. Even in those that could and should have been emotional or scary. The dragon had to be fat... The converse with the dead spell... The negotiation with the paladin... The barbarian meeting her ex-lover... The incompetent wizard... The reunion with his child... ... Which made the movie fun to watch. In a comfortable chair with a ice cold drink and pop corn. I didn`t have a bad time. But I will probably never see it again. Because it is too one-dimensional. And the sad feeling is that this could have been a real awesome movie if they would have allowed for a few more serious scenes. Now we need to hope for the next DnD movie to be actual good and not just a good comedy movie. And comparing this to the Princess Bride is inconceivable.
