I was expecting it to be terrible for some reason, and so was everyone else I've talked to about it, so I'm not surprised it did badly at the box office. It turns out it was an incredible film in every way, and a great experience to watch. I hope it makes a good return in the long run.

Well if you're familiar with other D&D movies your expectations would be quite well founded. This was an awesome film that used enough D&D to make things fantastical without being caught up in too many specifics - prior movies have not walked that line very well.

I, too, am hopeful for some continuations along the same vein - but as always a successful thing in media tends to attract the attention of studios and other unhelpful folks that meddle too much in sequels.
