Thanks for the review and your thoughts on fantasy writing. I must admit, I had no interest in this film. The first I knew about was seeing a trailer last month. The trailer was basically the actors talking about their characters, but showed little of the film. This made me think "is your film so bad that you refuse to show it in the trailer?" But yours is the second positive review I've received this week, so I might check it out now. Cheers

It's done surprisingly well in terms of reviews and box office. It's really cleverly made and certainly one of the most important on-screen fantasies since Game of Thrones, even though it's not about anything other than what it is.

I have almost zero interest in the franchise (unfortunately Warhammer got in there first), but this film was a lot of fun. Still have no interest in the game, but I'd easily watch this again.

I did indeed watch the film and, while it is, in my opinion 20-30-minutes too long, and had some clunky story elements, it was fun. I liked most of the characters and it definitely gave you a sense of the gaming experience.
