Finally a movie worth watching in your free time. The film does a very good job of mixing fun, action scenes, set pieces and world building while having some key emotional scenes too. Chris Pine is the star of the movie and the best performance from all the actors by far while not undermining their roles at the same time. The movie feels like Guardians of the Galaxy in a Medieval fantasy universe and i loved it. The supporting cast is great and the two main villains as well. I really liked Hugh Grant's character being not good but not evil too. More of a grey anti-villain character. He is just a man who will do whatever it takes to be rich. That's all he cares about. But he will keep his promise to protect Edgin's daughter.
I had only three problems with the movie that i can't give it a perfect score. First the pacing feels kinda off towards the end of the movie like the final act of the movie was rushed. Secondly the introduction to the world wasn't the best thing for a newcomer as i am not familiar with D&D and as a result i didn't understand many of its regions, races and places they mention. Third and final negative the cgi isn't the best and it shows. It's just tolerable.
Still the movie was blast to watch in your free time and i highly recommend. The writing hits the notes really well and the actors had an amazing chemistry between them.
