I went to see Avatar 2 on Christmas vacation and also saw the trailer for the new D&D movie. It looked surprisingly good. This is tempered by a conversation I once had with a friend in LA who makes trailers. He said he could make any dumpster fire of a movie look great with a bit of work. I'm torn between wanting to see a really good D&D movie, and not wanting to encourage WotC in their current direction. Thoughts?

Yarrgh, mate. 'Twill be the best way to see this film, me thinks.
The bottle of rum will probably help make the film itself palatable, to boot. ;-)
I suspect that it will be in the dollar bin at Wal mart before the year is out.
hard pass
I'll probably see it.
Expectations are not high, but I expect it'll have some good moments.
I'm pretty hard on the "WOTC will not get another cent of my money" train right now, but if I get the opportunity to see it for free, I might just for the meme value
Wait for Pitch Meeting.
Producer Guy: So you have a D&D movie for me?
Writer Guy: Yes Sir I do...
Zero interest in the movie.
I'm only interested in the monsters. Somebody will probably do a youtube video about them, so I won't watch the actual movie.

Producer: Releasing your movie during a major license overhaul for a social Game is TIGHT!
Writer:YeaYeaYeaYea!
This should probably be moved to the Media forum.
That said. I'm not watching it unless I can for free. Knowing Wokewood it will have the checkboxes. And the story will suck (my prediction, you can prove me wrong after you've seen it LOL)
I have no faith in anything made by Wokewood. Anyway, my 2cp.

I wouldn't watch it if they paid me. My time is more valuable than that. :D

So true. I think I often overlook the value of my time. I want to be entertained when I spend money on entertainment. And if it ain't entertaining then I've wasted more than money.
I want to be entertained, but not at the price of enriching those who push that agenda.
I'll watch it out of curiousity, but the eyepatch may affect my depth perception.
I expect we will be flooded with "Can my Druid wildshape into an owlbear too!" for the next year or more.
But just that alone and we know its not following the rules. Again.
Wrath of the Dragon God was the only D&D movie to get it right.

Don't worry! It doesn't look to be a very deep movie anyway.
