Only real gripe was the final act change from a fun heist movie to needing to save the world but it somehow still kind of worked and stuck the landing. 9/10

I'd gove it more like 7 out of 10, but it's a very good seven.
Very few things in the movie are particularly great, but it's also never boring or bad, and if you want a consistently fun D&D movie that's got exactly about as much depth as your average character backstory, this is it.
It's not elevating itself beyond the premise at all (like a Lego movie for example), but it also successfully meets the expectations of most people for a movie like this.
It's entertaining, it's D&D, it has a good chance to get a sequel and if it does, I'll go see that too.
