I love Chris Pine, but he has such a terrible track record. He just makes terrible movies and shows.

> I thought, after the MCU, the people making D&D movies would understand you need to lead with established characters and stories.

I don't agree with this at all, there are many successful movies that don't have established stories and characters and there are many complete flops that do.

With that said, I don't have much hope for this movie. The ads are weird, it is just so shake and bake.
