A surprising amount of heart paired with a surprisingly good sense of humor. They had plenty of nice easter eggs and attention to detail to please D&D nerds, while still remaining completely accessible and understandable to those who have never encountered the hobby before.
It felt like the adventure really encapsulated many “classic” TTRPG experiences: botched plans, brainless characters, and seemingly improvised NPC names. All in all, it’s a far better movie than it has any right to be.
Ryan Reynolds is completely unhinged in this film. It’s hard to tell where Deadpool ends and Ryan begins. The film continues the current MCU arc of multiverses and the TVA, which I don’t care for.
There are many fun elements to the film, and it somehow balances the ability to make fun of itself, the MCU, and Hollywood in general with stylized violence, fighting sequences, and a heartfelt storyline.
This movie is unapologetically offensive and degrades everything: the industry, the…
Some of the acting comes across as melodramatic, but at its heart, it is a clever, original film that reminded me not to assume to know someone’s story based on first impressions. Robin Feld starts as a strange, stinky, off-putting character, who seems completely unconcerned and out of touch with the world, uncaring for anything but his pig. As the film goes on, you discover more about this man and his story, and it reveals a much more impressive, insightful, and caring man underneath.
Thought-provoking and beautiful in its simplicity.
Admittedly has some shortcomings as a film, but is decently faithful to the original premise, and Jim Carrey clearly had a lot of fun in the role. If you like Jim Carrey, you’ll love it. If not, you won’t.
