Silly and cringe at times, but the good kind, the kind that's mixed in with some clever and genuinely funny comedy. A fun time from beginning to end, I was laughing throughout and the runtime went by quickly. The action sequences are intense and some of the best i've seen this year, my favorite was the animal transforming to get out of the city it was butt clenching and so thrilling. The characters are fun, likable and I like the interactions. Michelle Rodriguez's Holga is my favorite and damn is she good in action sequences, an instant badass.

As a casual D&D player I enjoyed what they did with it. There's this thing when you play a game of D&D where you can pretty much make your character do anything you want to beat whatever the game throws at you. However crazy the idea the player has, all that's required is 1. The game master has to approve that it's understandably logical within his game. And 2. Roll the dices and let fate choose if it's a hit or a miss. They did that a lot in the movie. Some of the things the characters do feel jarring, silly and sometimes hella convenient for what's happening but from a D&D perspective it makes total sense. You think your character conveniently has the object that solves the current problem hidden in his bag, sure just roll the dices.

I hope this gets a sequel!
