Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
Vox Machina does it better
Don't get me wrong; there is lots to like about this movie, and as an avid D & D player (been playing the 1st edition, which also may make my review a bit skewed), I wanted to like this more. Lots to take in visually, lots of Easter eggs for those that play the game to enjoy and also take us back to our childhood. I especially enjoyed the characters from the original animated series making an appearance). However, the storyline was mediocre (the continuous narrated backstory scenes weren't necessary), Hugh Grant did NOT belong in this movie. There is a lot to stuff into a 2 hour, 15 minute movie, but even so, pace it evenly. That being said, I will hope for a sequel.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)
Did anyone even READ John Byrnes comic???
So if you haven't read John Byrne, you are not going to like the series. If you HAVE read it, then the show makes perfect sense. She broke.the 4th wall and 'exited' the comic to the real world, long before Deadpool perfected it. It was very British oriented humor, so not sure what is being expected. I am a little unhappy with Titania's character, as the show version one seems to be a whiny, blogger, as opposed to her development in the comics. I was not a fan of how she got her powers, as it seemed a bit lazy, so there is that. I do love the tongue in cheek, the odd appearances and obscure criminals. I was hoping they would expand and use the wrecking crew more, but HOPEFULLY the couch critics don't ruin it for those that actually appreciate the silliness of the series.

Julia Sweeney couldn't do it either....
Even the previews for the show are annoying. Might have worked as a sketch on SNL, but an entire series? Skip.
The Liberator (2020)
If you can get past the animation...
First off, it SAYS animated. Sure it is a little offputting, but get over it and watch the story. You don't throw away a Bentley because there is a scratch on the paint, and that is what the animation is. It allowed for the story to be made Episode 4 Will make you glad you watched. There are many stories from WW2, and this one was worth telling.
