As far as franchised products based films it's very rewatchable and I imagine will be a comfort movie on the future.

Id put it just a little below the Lego Movie for quality for what's essentially an advertisement movie. No complaints however.

As a D&D fan it hits the sweet spots of references but not to feel like it's pandering (see Super Mario Movie). For a die hard D&D fan you can feel the die rolls going on in the movie.

I imagine Hasbro will kill or ruin Studio One somehow which is a shame I would want more of these kind of D&D movies

"Feeling the die rolls" is very accurate. My group of friends plays 5e pretty regularly, and we all enjoyed the movie a lot.

Not just feeling the die rolls, I could also feel the DM going "oh crap, the bridge is gone now, how will they get across? I know, I'll give them a portal gun." And then for the rest of the movie the DM going "oh crap, they have a portal gun now, how am I going to stop them from bypassing every challenge with it?"

In my campaign the dwarf decided to nose dive dive into a mosh pit full of thousands of kobolds. The ranger failed to pull him up and went down with him.

The only reason they got out was I had planted hints an eldritch god needed them which was the hail Mary In case them or I did something so stupid and needed a way out 😂
