The D&D movie was great too

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I'm glad that you enjoyed it, that's great, but I thought it was really bad and cringy. I'll focus on the positive, I did like the escape from jail scene at the beginning because that scene did have a genuine players-improvizing-their-ridiculous-stupid-plan-while-the-flabbergasted-DM-tries-to-keep-the-campaign-going feel to it. I wish the rest of the movie was able to capture that same D&D feeling

I think they had to strike a balance of "feels like what would actually happen in a game of DnD" and "we need to streamline some things to make it work as a movie." And I think they struck a decent balance. It was fun to see the times they failed a roll/skill check, and the creative solutions to problems.
