I chose to view it through the lens of where past D&D movies ended up. General Audiences panned them because they took themselves too seriously, the acting was bad, and the story was ridiculous.
This one seems to try to get around all that - the only weakness it may have is all the exposition needed for the non D&D players. Having competent actors that can sell the story is also a big win.
I wouldn't call Pine or Rodriguez pretty - though they have both done serious roles and demonstrated acting chops - they are average looking. They both need a lot of time in makeup.
