I liked the movie a lot. It felt like a fresh, original entry in the genre of comedy fantasy, next to beloved entries like The Princess Bride, Ladyhawk, A Knight's Tale, and Shrek. It was well-written and directed, even if some of the action sequences (e.g. the dragon cave) were a bit tropey.

They should have called it something else. There's clearly a market for fantasy, as has been seen with the popularity of Netflix's Witcher series (which treads very similar ground), but the Dungeons and Dragons brand has been thoroughly devalued over the years, and doesn't have the same kind of mass-market appeal.
