      Avoiding spoilers I’ll give it my highest praise for how they handled the character relationships. You could argue the movie is action/adventure slop but it handles the characters quite well.

      “Not amazing”? Have you even seen any other D&D movie ever made? They’re mud-caked shitbricks to this flick. Comparing it to any other film is right up there with expecting a fish to climb a tree. 🤌🏼

        You don’t have to compare movies to other entries in the same franchise. Just the same genre is enough.

        Like, Resident Evil movies suck. A lot. I don’t have to pick one and say “The others are worse, so this must be good”. I can confidently say that “this is the better one, but it still sucks”.

        As for the DnD movie, I was honestly disappointed, especially as I went to watch it after hearing the very positive online discourse about it, which elevated my expectations a bit.

          I swear, if you’re one of those still gargling Peter Jackson’s kiwi fruits… 🤦🏼‍♂️

            I don’t have the slightest idea of what the meaning of those words is, but “gargling Peter Jackson’s kiwi fruit” might be the funniest insult I’ve ever received.

            Actually, no, scratch that. I was called an “inverted can of shoe polish” once on Reddit. That’s still the funniest. You take the second spot, though.
