Well, I finally watched this movie yesterday, with 0 expectations and I actually enjoyed it. I'm surprised to learn it jas >90% score on Rotten Tomatoes as I wouldn't rate it that high, but I found it very compelling; I was actually looking forward to how they would come out of those bad situations this time. Characters were strangely well developed with backstory that didn't make my eyes roll. Sure, not original, but well told. I was expecting a Netflix movie type (dull and somewhat boring) and ended up with a good pic. Hoping for a sequel.

FWIW the RT scores are a percentage of reviewers that were generally positive vs negative reviews. 90% could be a pretty good movie because nearly everyone enjoyed it. That doesn't mean it was the greatest movie they had ever seen. An objectively great movie might have more detractors for some reason and end up with a lower percentage, even if most people agree it was a better movie.

That said, DnD was pretty great.
