#2If you like this, I like corridor crew on YouTube. Here's one discussing how effects in Dune, old and new, were done, some of which were pretty surprising. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHPkdMGI6D4

#3I remember being very surprised when at the end of the film, a friend pointed out that the Tabaxi were practical effects, and not CGI.
There’s a lot of CGI in the film, and it was nice seeing a bunch of practical effects as well.

#4I think this is my favourite fantasy movie since... the Lord of the Rings trilogy, really. Apparently it didn't do very well at the box office, and it feels rather unfair.

#5Phenomenal movie. Check it out if you haven't gotten a chance!

I was expecting it to be terrible for some reason, and so was everyone else I've talked to about it, so I'm not surprised it did badly at the box office. It turns out it was an incredible film in every way, and a great experience to watch. I hope it makes a good return in the long run.

I saw it on an airplane. It was technically OK, but not really LOTR level, mainly because of its story being somewhat of a comedy. It was basically a marvel superhero film with misfit D&D adventures, and I’m a bit tired of the formula.

The studio released it around the same time as the Super Mario movie, which resulted in an utter slaughter.

The formula was familiar, but I thought the writing was quality enough that it didn’t feel as forced or as cringeworthy as a lot of recent Marvel media. The humor somehow fit the fantasy conceits well, and the meta conventions of a D&D campaign (DM-controlled NPC paragon, characters misusing overpowered artifacts, etc.). Felt like they nailed the execution with this one.

Well if you're familiar with other D&D movies your expectations would be quite well founded. This was an awesome film that used enough D&D to make things fantastical without being caught up in too many specifics - prior movies have not walked that line very well.
I, too, am hopeful for some continuations along the same vein - but as always a successful thing in media tends to attract the attention of studios and other unhelpful folks that meddle too much in sequels.
