Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

I saw it in theater with my best friend, who is also my longest standing player im ttrpg games. We went twice
That may not seem signficant without backstory.
I'm disabled, with my primary chronic pain source being my sciatic nerve. So, driving to a theater to see a movie is painful. Every bump hurts, and I live in a rural town. Sitting in the best theater seats good a hour is constant pain to some degree or another.
Doing that twice for the same movie is something I haven't done since before my back went to hell, before 2005. An hour long drive to the theater, then the hour and a half of the movie, plus walking through the parking lot left me sweating and almost crying by the time I got home after the first time.
And I still went a second time with my wife, my best friend, and his husband.
Obviously, people value things differently, and me going through that doesn't mean the movie is some kind perfect thing that everyone would and should enjoy as much as we did. But if you're a d&d fan, and/or if you like fantasy action movies, and you don't at least watch it once, you're missing out on what may be the best example of that genre in recent history.
It's at least on par with action fantasy like Willow, and that's pretty much the best example of that genre.
