The D&D movie is on Amazon Prime, and is probably the most fun movie I watched this year. I have zero knowledge or interest in D&D.

Call it poor marketing, or a concept that just didn't resonate with cover-judgers, but a common perception of it by those who didn't watch it is that it is a cash-in kid's B-movie. Some pap you get for free on a streaming service. Disappointing that perception exists.

I liked the D&D movie, though it definitely felt budget with some awful CG at times.

For some reason, call it mid-pandemic boredom, my wife and I saw Hasbro's GI Joe film "Snake Eyes" in theaters. That was pretty awful.

The best parts about the D&D movie were the practical effects, which were obviously effects but obviously practical and therefore charming.

Warning: There is more than one “D&D Movie”: <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dungeons_%26_Drag...>

According to most people, the one from 2023 is the good one.

The first one was ... not so inspiring ... It had some top-shelf actors, but the "acting" was a bit ... over the top, shall we say.

The next two were a bit less inspiring.

Yes, I meant the 2023 one. Didn’t know there were others.
