D&D was actually quite funny, and entertaining. The comedy and intertwined storylines were really interesting. I did not expect this film to be engaging, but it was actually extremely watchable.
D&D's supporting cast were outstanding. We were all enchanted by Regé-Jean Page's almost God-like portrayal of 'Xenk'. Page has to be contender for one of the next iterations of James Bond. Sophia Lillis mastered her performance of 'Doric' given the incredible CGI that surrounded her character. And, if an award could be given to an actor who mastered a British accent better than a Brit themselves, it goes to Californian-born Justice Smith. Smith portrayal of accident-prone, insecure and bashful 'Simon' was outstanding.
Paul Bazely (from the IT Crowd) made wonderful appearances dotted across D&D, reprising his role as a magician (- viewers of The IT Crowd will know what I mean). However, it is always a pleasure to see him on screen given how great an actor he is.
All in all, a few plot holes, and perhaps a too many convenient links within a wide-arching story line to be believable, and worthy of taking this movie up to an 8. But if this is a how they did it, then I cannot wait for the sequel.
Oh, and Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and Hugh Grant were alright.
