Overall look and feel is nice, scene setting is nicely done

Main irks for me:

• Ahsoka looks bored AF and doesn't faithfully represent the giddy Ahsoka from the series

• more secret map holocubes

• people dying from a slash to the leg, yet mary sues survive stomach stabs

• on that note, stop with the stomach stabs that are perfectly removed and thus preserving the victim, it worked for Darth Maul/Qui Gon as he moved directly away/backwards to his next fight, all else make zero sense

• too many "super powered girl bosses" - massive yawn when literally everyone is doing it

= Disappointing.

I'm a fantasy nut, but I don't actually play D&D. Regardless, I went into this movie expecting BIG things, and I am very glad to say I was not let down one bit.

The movie is light-hearted, very funny, makes sense and has an easy plot to follow. You don't need to activate brain cells to follow it, but that's not to say there was lazy writing or obvious, annoying holes throughout.

The characters are all fleshed out, good motives for what they do, and each give their own input. Going into the movie, I wasn't expecting to think much of the pally, Regé-Jean Page (my wife is obsessed with Bridgerton, so I'm most likely just super jelly of him), but he actually played the part very, very well! Michelle Rodrigues and Chris Pine are fantastic, and Hugh Grant was definitely the stand-out for me - incredible acting talent and hilarious to boot.

All up, I'm super glad I watched it, and highly recommend to others who are yet to consider it.
