It’s been over twenty years since that last cinematic effort and the ensuing two decades plus of CGI advancement has led to a much richer palette this time. It’s to the filmmaker’s credit that they have developed a script that puts character development on equal terms with the computer-generated effects.

Engineered to bring the role players out of the house and into the cinema, this film version of DnD works hard at establishing character skins you would want to inhabit. The strong heroic type, the kick-ass female or the powerful wizard are just a few on display and the appeal is spread throughout the cast.

From the hammy bad guy played by Hugh Grant to the truly scary evil red witch Sofina (Daisy Head) to the bold heroine Holga (Michelle Rodriguez), it is the ensemble cast that holds the picture together. The spectacular special effects are just the icing on the cake.

There is just not enough to work with here. The characters are written so one dimensionally that even when there is a hint of chemistry nothing becomes of it. Bautista and child actor Chloe Coleman have a few lovely moments together but the momentum is quickly stifled by a series of running gags that just don’t work.

Little is made of the quirky presence of Kristen Schaal as JJ’s partner as she is tethered to a bank of computer screens almost the entire film. There is a subplot of a missing plan for a nuclear weapon that is discussed at the start that sets things into motion but then it’s not mentioned again until the final resolve.

A much better result was available if the characters just saw further development. There were a few relationships that could have evolved into something more interesting if the screenplay just had more gravitas. The few laughs delivered along the way are just no enough to hold things together.
