Anyone seen it? Is it awful?
I thought it was a lot of fun. Not a D&D fan though, so I'm not sure what the hardcore fans thought.

MODERATORS
I'd say it's okay, not bad and not particularly good.
I thought it was great! It was enjoyable for me (D&D player) and family/friends who have never played D&D.
I saw it last week and I think it's brilliant.
My group and I went and saw it together, and the consensus from us 6 is that it was awesome!
It was so much better than we (wife and myself) expected it to be. Strongly recommend it to casual d&d enjoyers (such as we are), there was one or two things that didn't work, and the writing was cliche at a couple points, but the acting was superb and the visuals were awesome. more hardcore people will probably find more nits to pick, but I think it'll be appealing to a broad audience, d&d fans included. I hope it earns the studio enough to try to make another one, especially if they can bring back the main cast, they had really good chemistry.
I loved it. It was fun.
I didn't think it was. I'd definitely be down for more movies in the dnd universe though if this was an example of what they'd be doing if that helps at all. Probably not a theater level movie but a good home movie or fun with friends watching for sure.
I loved it and thought it was worth the price of admission.
It's not. Really fun and well made
Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter is about intelligent nobility and mostly rich guys doing good things whereas D&D has always been about dirtbags trying to scam a buck. It has more in common with Conan, Jack Vance's Dying Earth, Fafhrd and Grey Mouser, Elric of Melniboné (and outright stolen concepts from everywhere).
Yeah the new one is great, I was afraid they'd water-down any violence or horror too much. Didn't make a lot of money :(
Great movie. A lot more fun than I expected with some terrific action and legit good laughs.
Please no links to streaming sites or downloads please.
It's amazing. Highly recommend it!
