The D&MP film is the first nice surprise of 2023!
which we were in the "golden age" of the Role Play had already been understood for a while, especially to feel the opinions of the historical players and the most "navigated".
At the beginning, computer tools appeared, online encyclopedias for the regulations and lores of the role -playing games, specific apps on mobile phone and browser, which allowed the masters to make all the scenarios in short steps, to evoke monsters from the web and to recall the players to the meeting with a simple click.
Then came the first video games, evolved at the speed of light, until they reach a perfect re -proposal of pathfinder: Kingmaker in 2018.
Finally Covid, with its problems and timing, which allowed one to one Infinite group of online role -players, to be able to find themselves again around a table, rediscovering the "tactile" beauty of that world made of books, models, colors, brushes: trace a playful evolution over the past 10 years. p>
And here we are, in 2023 with a film dedicated to D&M; D:
While I walk to the cinema, I come across the poster of "The honor of the thieves", with the face of Rodriguez, and I think To the multiple similarities that are with "Fast & Amp; Furious" blockbuster: the fantasy that is used to believe a skyline that breaks down a helicopter is the same used to shape worlds with gnomes, elves, and giants.
Texan beauty is one of the resources of the film: the actors, although not of the Superstars (excluding Chris Pine), appear extremely spot on; The music although not signed by John Williams are immersive and atmosphere.
There are not all the game classes but those proposed are pleasantly represented and so also the magic used.
Entering with low expectations (together with friends with whom we often view clearly poorer films and for the sole taste of demolishing them in the worst ways in front of the classic popcorn and coca!) I find myself, in the immediate, surprised by some Narrative choices not obvious and exalted for the graphic transposition of the most popular Spells of the "Player's" Maual ".
The characters of the film, moreover, make fun of, through their game class and the Medical skills, a whole series of Hollywood "characters" recurred to nausea from the "industrial cinema" of the last few years. BR> Leaving the room, the necessary and inevitable comparison to look for goodies and Easter Eggs who in turn have discovered. Different, thanks to the varied and personal narrative experiences in the infinite world of role -playing games!
Probably not an epic film, but valid and fun: nothing to take too seriously, recommended for the aficionados! I'm already in hype for the second chapter, but I will have to wait to get on level!
