Honestly, it looked kinda fun from the trailer. I have next to no knowledge of D&D, but it looked like a fun adventure/fantasy movie.

The trailer actually nails the feel of the game really well. While shows like Stranger Things show super serious high level play, the trailer’s plot of, “We were supposed to do X but we did Y instead and now everything’s gone to hell” is how most games actually go.

And then the rest of the trailer is just packing references to as many things from the game as possible. Every item/creature/spell/etc you see is pulled straight out of the rulebooks.

The only obvious corner they cut is that technically druids in the game can’t become owlbears, but the general consensus of the community is that it looks cool and nails the overall theme of druids from the game, so it gets a pass.

IMO it looks like it’s designed so that people who know nothing about the game can just watch it and get it.

The movie is an adaptation of a written adventure.

I was never into D&D as a kid, but got introduced to it from the Community episode. It's also a big focus on Stranger Things. I'm interested in the upcoming film though.

I'm really surprised how fun it looks. I love a good ensemble adventure
