I have done something very similar to the Speak With Dead scene in a real game.

Same. Lots of things in this film just feel like an actual DnD campaign.
Honestly, the scene where the barbarian is kicking the shit out of people and the bard is still trying to cut his ropes while shouting encouragement has (pretty much) happened in games I've played before.

Box office guy who's been around 25 years. I'm sure it was a pretty receptive audience but maybe that's a good sign.

My only red flag is still a writers room of woke women talking about how they purposely emasculated the main characters
You can pull off a moron main character when done right, see Jack Sparrow. I can see that working with Pine. But when they just say it and show that was their main intent instead of making a silly character silly, I just have no faith in them pulling it off. We will see soon.

I completely agree, I also hate the trope that every leader is a retard dumbass.

It wasn't always the same player in our group, but every party had that one guy.

I mostly see that happen when the person with the highest CHA is a bard that's just trying to fuck everyone and everything.

Movie looks like stupid fun.
Strangest incident I ever remember was a game where one person tried executing an unconscious enemy in a bigger fight. Three rolls in a row where the dice were all the worst roll possible and he ended up killing himself with his own sword. Player got mad and stormed out. We ended up letting leaving that orc alone after that.

I suppose it says something about me that despite all the bullshit about emasculating the male leads, my biggest problem with this movie is that it has Michelle Rodriguez in it. I hate her with the fury of a thousand suns, only surpassed by Ronda Rousey. Otherwise, it actually doesn't look too bad, it looks like something I'll enjoy watching when it comes out on video and I pirate it.

I dont get the “emasculating male leads” here (unless you are referring to someone other than Pine) because dudes a bard and never in my life have I played a serious bard that succeeded in much other than bluffing his way through the campaign and doing as little real work as possible.
I think everything I’ve seen from Pine fits how I see all of my bards pretty well.
