Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
View Moreit is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
View MoreAs a long-time tabletop RPG GM/Player, from the 70s to now. I have to add my two cents to this one. For the old salts in the genre, you'll very much appreciate the polish and skill Mercer possesses at this craft. for the newly initiated.. Welcome. This is the perfect example and keystone to begin your own journeys. Everyone can appreciate the mix of varied and stellar skills these players and friends have brought into Mercer's world. and even they are have been humbled and taken aback by the deserved success of this show. Just be ready for a DEEP dive into the sheer amount of content they have amassed over the years. all freely available on Youtube, Twitch and Alpha. Enjoy :)
View MoreI have never written a review before on IMDb - I'll make an exception for this one. I was looking for something fantasy-related to watch with the feeling that I already had seen everything worth watching (which obviously isn't true, but gives you the PoV - I'm quite the nerd). And then - out of the blue I stumble onto Critical Role. And within 10 minutes of the first episode in-game, I was hooked. Totally, utterly lost. As for today I'm only 5 episodes in and this is pure genius... I love it so much that I'm actually in pain for missing it being broadcast live. I've never played D&D myself, but I have experience in MERP, so that gives basic idea of how the mechanic works and now without a RP party I've actually dug out from the dust my old MERP rulebook and dices and for real -- atm playing alone. Just because I want to play soooo much. And maybe one day I'd become as great as M. Mercer as the DM. But he's absolutely... diamond. Even more epic than Trinket.So be warned: if you're a RPG!nerd without a group, this might cause moderate/severe withdrawal symptoms.10/10, I've never seen a movie or series like this. (Scanlan sings in the distance "Nothing compares to U")
View MoreThis show is a joy to watch. All of the actors truly care about their characters and the narrative. The unscripted, improvised actions of the players adds to the unpredictable and engaging story that Matt Mercer sets up.Watching Critical Role will enrich your life.
View MoreThis is easily the best visual experience of my life. The connection the community feels to each other, to the people in the show, and to the game itself is incredible and I've been hooked -- nearly obsessed -- since the first half hour I saw. The experience is one that will resonate with you throughout your life and I sincerely hope this group continues in one form or another for decades to come.This is the first and only time I've been tempted to send something to the actors, and even with only a fan letter I am waiting on pins and needles to know if they even got the letter.Less than three you guys!P.S. Includes more than a bit of swearing, some inappropriate humor and lots and lots of nerdiness.
