Is it too late to sell to Netflix?

 

 

Don't ask questions, just consume product and wait for next product

When I read the early descriptions of this project I was expecting something like "Princess bride" and "Stardust", as in movies that manage to mix humour to romance and epic with an healthy balance, providing a fantasy that's ultimately fun but really heartfelt and occasionally dark at times, too.

 

This, however, looks more like every marvel movie that aims at mindless fun and seeks teenage boys as its main audience, so it's an utter disappointment and an hard pass for me. I will say that everyone looks really beautiful though.

 

I feel you. It's like stuffing your movie with jokes is going the easy route. Whereas when playing it straight your really have to bring the goods.

 

However, to my surprise, i wasn't appalled by the trailer, it even got a few chuckles out of me. And recently i enjoyed The Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon Prime which was going for a similar tone so i might check it out.

I don’t know D&D. 
I don’t like medieval things.

i don’t like these kind of fantasy films.

 

This looks much better than it should.

The very first line in the trailer is a late 20th/early 21st century anachronism. 🤦‍♂️

I mean the film is not taking place on Earth so there's no reason for it to follow medieval human language

[IdahoJacket]

I find the "looks like a generic fantasy movie" complaints weird because the trailer was chock-full of D&D references.

You haven't seen the movie from 2000 have you

As someone who played multiple versions of DND this looks really good. I was expecting the GOTG vibes considering the directors but I wasn't the trailer to be this good. They really did their research. For example having Pine's character (who's obviously the leader) be a bard is something you see in a lot of groups

[Liiviig 1998]

Surprisingly fun trailer ,was alot better than I expected.

Anachronistic, quip filled fantasy cheesefest is exactly what a D&D movie SHOULD be like. I feel some people here who may have expected a LotR type movie never experienced the game.

DnD is basically a rulebook. There is no rule in there as far as i know dictating the tone. DnD stories run the whole gamut, from funny to serious.

Goldstein and Faley are good directors and bring some nice visual ideas here, but this just reminds me of Jack the Giant Slayer or Warcraft lol.

One of my favorite genres, but I struggle to think of anything quality besides the exact two you named 😔

Ofc, but when friends get together to play a tabletop game about dragons and wizards that's the tone that tends to dominate.

I feel like it's a massive missed opportunity to not move up the release date to this September 2 or 9. 

 

I know this is a VFX heavy movie and they probably need more time, but this movie wrapped in August 2021. That's a full year before September 2022. I feel like they could have accomplished it. 

 

This late August/Early September is a WASTELAND, whereas 2023 is already filling up pretty fast. Feel like it could've done Free Guy numbers and legs if it had all of September to its self.

 

In That March 3 2023 spot, it's sandwiched between antman and aquaman. Granted, those r both 2 weeks apart before and after it, but haven't there been rumblings that Creed 3 is moving to that March 3 spot? Internationally DnD wouldn't have to worry that much, but domestically I feel like Creed would give DnD a run for its money. Plus, Creed 3 was shot with imax cameras, meaning it would get Large format theaters over DnD. In a September 2022 spot, it could have Imax and Dolby for 2 weeks uninterrupted 

[Valonqar]

How are trailer views for DnD? I'm rooting for it cause I like 2/3 of the cast (Pine, Lillis, RJP), effects do look very good and it's fun. I keep rewatching ha ha.

Birthday Month next year is looking Great and Fun! Here's our Reaction & Review to the trailer! 

 

[Rebeccas]

People being surprised this looks Marvel-ish.. the directors are literally writers on Spiderman: Homecoming and their movie Game Night is basically a pop culture fest reference comedy lol

I think that was the point.

And, anyway, "Game Over: in ROTK was a lot worse.
