Didn't have time to watch the trailer before, but now that I have watched it, I'm not really sure. I mean, it looks not bad (really like the tiefling lady turning into an owlbear and back) but it feels like a Marvel movie and I'm so done with Disney Marvel mostly. The one thing, I still like are teh Guardians of teh Galaxy. But I don't need the Guardians in a D&D setting. So I really hope, they just made the trailer liek that to appease the Disney crowd and the movie is better than this.
From the group, I think I might like the tiefling lady (although I'm not sure, what class she is - I don't think a druid would turn into an owlbear of all thing? Maybe I have to watch the traielr again for clues) and the barbarian (I like Michelle Rodriguez, despite her mostly playing in movies, I don't watch).
I really don't like the music - totally immersion breaking. And I would have liked to see one of the smalelr races - halfling, gnome or dwarf. I mean it looked to me, as if most main characters are humans (not sure about the wizard though), which is boring. If they have enough money to pay actors like Pine and Rodriguez, they should have enough money for some cgi to make an actor look smaller, or even something like a dragonborn (I mean, from what I saw, the CGI is not bad).
GMforHim: I don't think, using a pc rpg like Baldurs Gate 1 or 2 would be a good idea. I'm still mad that they made Revan a white male in SWTOR, when my Revan weas a female asian (and totally light side btw, not a dark side nutjob like in SWTOR) and I really don't want to see any other potential character of mine butchered like that. I could see them using a campaign as a film or series script - maybe Descent to AVernus or the ever talked about Curse of Strahd (which would also please the vampire crowd, I guess).
