I saw this one at the movies too, right after Renfield, and I thought that one was good?! This was even better! Some may say it's mainstream and cliche, like LOTR meets Marvel, like a solid adventure movie with unfortunately much emasculating mannerisms going on... is that a thing though? The only characters with flaws are the male ones sure but... I don't mind it here. The cast complement each other well, gender benders or no.
The sceneries are beautiful. Vast natural landscapes with a little CGI elements sprinkled in, entirely artificial grottos, archaic and wondrous interiors and castles, with strange fairy tail creatures sometimes seen just at the edge of a shot, on a corner leaf or similar... those bits feel almost too calculated an inclusion, but overall it's a wonder to behold. Those Chocobo-like brids too, hmm, wonder which franchise was first with some of these critters, D&D does go back...
The own bear was so good too. The dragon unexpected (you'll see). The soundtrack epic. The names seemed strange on peeps like Michelle Rodriguez and Chris Pine, but you grow to like 'em after all. The lore almost seems to rival LOTR sometimes, the battles are awesome, the chemistry grows on you and Hugh Grant's a great villain (as is the real one).
The whole movie carries a sense of adventure with a greater purpose too, and not without company. It's witty, fun, daunting and magical... it's an adventure! They capture this so well.
one e hasbro huh. New movie studio to be reckoned with... if they weren't already.
They really bring the game to life with this one, and I hope it's not the only one they plan on doing, cause I would love to see more. Make it a show show if you want to. Kick out Game of Thrones. I don't mean to hype this movie up excessively but... I loved every second of it.
Great cinema movie too. If you're with a crowd; by a big screen I've no doubt it's at its very best. It's like your all part of the same adventure, or sitting on the bleachers at those final fights...
They really did this one right.
rated 5/5: friggin awesome
