Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Lawbolisted Powerful
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
SilkeJ Okay. If you're not familiar with role play games, some of this will be a little difficult to understand. Not in terms of what's going on, but in terms of what the motivation is. I liked the movie, it's funny, it has a face-palm cringeworthiness to it that makes the characters completely endearing. I liked the geekiness and total dedication of the main characters, the lack of understanding from the outside world too. I never played D&D, or went to any comic cons, or anything like that. But I have friends who love it, and yeah. I get it. I also liked that the movie showed how seriously involved the gamers get, and how difficult it can be to deal with all those different personalities in real life. Personally, I think it takes a strong individual to handle the ridicule they encounter for their hobby and the movie got that across nicely. There's more depth than there seems to be, but all in all, I really enjoyed watching it, and had some great laughs. That Centaur...omg lol. If you're into RP gaming in any fashion, I think you'll enjoy the movie. If you've never heard of RP gaming, I think you'll also enjoy the movie, but you will probably come away wondering why people do this.
Lauren Carpenter I had to travel about four hours to see this movie, but it was worth it. I happen to be a gamer, but you don't have to be one to enjoy this movie. It plays up all the gamer stereotypes, but the humor is universal. They don't get into game mechanics or terminology much, so anyone can understand it. The characters are so funny. The way they react to certain situations is priceless. I was laughing so hard, and I was not the only one. Everyone in our entire theater was laughing. The humor was goofy, but I don't think it was too over-the-top. I was an instant fan. I highly recommend seeing it if you are even remotely close to a theater that is playing it.
dylan-thurston With whispers and rumors of a new quest circling round my head, I descended from the astral plane with my trusty companion, Tomacticus (my brother in law Tom).We traveled to the far reaches of this land to join our sworn allies in the campaign (we went to the theater).Upon close inspection we found we were joined with a great number of experienced champions.(the theater was packed with the right crowd)We battled hard with great success, nary a fighter was lost (the film was hilarious and everyone loved it).I returned to the campaign one week later with my true companion (my beautiful, non-gamer wife.)This time the battlefield was littered with all sort of character classes. Elves, Paladins, Humans, Wizards, Halflings and even Bardladins (a good mix of normal people). Again, we were victorious in our battle (everyone was laughing and loved it) and we left the battleground with shouts of triumph. (people even cheered and clapped at the end)I will return to this campaign, bringing my trusted allies, and rally for anyone else to join the quest. (I will recommend the film friends, to everyone)Come forth now with weapons drawn and join me!Darkmadda, the dragon shaman. (me, Dylan)
caseydpeterson When a culture has the ability to make fun of itself while making you care about the characters and what they do in their lives, you have a movie that is going to receive my praise. I don't care if it is the culture of business, rock, or gamer, and good movie spoofing what it is is always welcome. Unicorn City was funny, clever, and well written. I didn't understand the lingo all the time, but didn't have to to get the full effect of the jokes. The Centaur stole the show, but their were plenty of other memorable characters that kept me laughing. Clean, family friendly comedy. I recommend it for all ages, and great to see with a group of friends as you will all be quoting lines from the movie. My hat is off to the Live Action Gaming community, you can make a real funny movie.
