Lmfao at you guys with Drizzt

Drow Lives Matter would end up trending. The skin color shit in the original books was already overdone, imagine that shit reimagined in 2021.

What do you mean ‘you drow’?

Well this sure confirms they are going for the “fun” version of D&D. Definitely less interested now.

When will you all learn? Any movie made to milk our nostalgia titties is going to end up leaving us disappointed and angry.

Every single time.

Always have to have a Brit as the main villain.

It is written!

This could be fun, but probably awful.

So doing a little digging it looks like this is Forgotten Realms and that it will focus on the Eye of Vecna.

Hi two years ago, Vecna is suddenly relevant and I had no idea it was a real D&D thing!

trailer didn't sell me at all

Literally the same exactly tone of the last big budget D&D movie that was just so beloved by fans and wide audiences alike. what the fuck.
even the "we are a bunch of thieves entangled in save the world bullshit."

Same thoughts. Almost the same plot about stealing some shit and fighting a dragon. Just different cast and no Jeremy Irons.

I aint eatin that dog food it aint nothin new

This looks like hot dookie. Like someone mentioned above this is a repeat of past mistakes.

it looks like they tried to fit every familiar/common DND trope/monster/plot/character all into 1 movie. looks like an absolute mess.

I felt cringe watching the trailer, like can't they make a DND movie that doesnt feel like a video game. The trailer narration where they basically explain the plot didn't help.

What are the bets the term "dungeons and dragons" is uttered in the movie at least once. Just in case people didn't know.

I liked the Owl Bear.

Honestly wish they would not cram so much into a movie. This kind of thing would work so much better as a series, that would slowly flesh out the characters to a point of coming together for the good of existence. The other major issue is that Game of Thrones did this much better to a point. Magic stops being magical if it is everywhere. Magic should be a thing of wonder and not displayed as often is one can see clouds in the sky.

This will fail.

23 seconds into the preview.. black dragon spews acid, the ground is steaming from it but horse and people run though it without any problem or reaction.
Instantly self neutralizing acid? or mildly warm steaming water on a cold day?

I know, insert "neeeeerd! .jpg" here
But it bugged me enough to unlurk a moment. Thumbs down, but maybe they will suprise with a good movie anyways even though they have no D&D nerd consultant on the production team.

Show me where in the monster manual it says anything about the breath weapon of a black dragon leaving behind a persistent ground effect?
