8/10
A pleasant surprise

I actually watched this movie twice in one day. Once in the morning, when I've had no expectations and had a couple of hours to kill and another in the evening when we went to see it properly with my wife.

I really enjoyed it. This movie has just enough of humor, charisma, likable characters and respect to the lore without ruining it. It's not a heavy movie or a parody by any means, nor it's trying to be one of those. It's a show where creators are trying to have some fun with the source material and it really comes together.

The cast and characters are a hit! Outside the main team, I really loved the Paladin. He was spot on in my book. Most of the cast plays to their strenght and it works.

One might say the weakest part of characters were Simon and Doric. Him because of his character becomes a bit annoying and her for a bit lack of onscreen charisma, yet it still works out as an ansamble.

Plot is simple and relatable. Jokes are good and in a good taste, yet sometimes I got the feeling the movie tried a bit too hard in that department. Loved the Bradly Cooper cameo as it raised many questions of "intimate" nature. Absolutely loved the Birdman joke at the beginning and the end.

In conclusion, it's not really a huge masterpiece, but it's definitely a hit! I want more!
