Sounds like a Dungeons and Dragon game to me.

But I was expecting the movie to have more depth than a video game.
DnD is NOT A VIDEO GAME!!!That's what my friends said to me.

Seriously, it's not.
Um.D'oh!! I cant believe my friend didn't correct me when I said that. Does this mean my friends aren't listening to me??
Troll Hunter is a 2010 fantasy movie from Norway and is of the “found footage” variety. According to some info online it is a “mockumentary”, but it didn’t appear to be done as a humorous movie in my opinion. The story is kind of interesting, that trolls actually exist and that they can grow as tall as 200 feet and can create a LOT of havoc. But the script is pretty lame, the characters quite stupid and the acting just so-so. The special effects are pretty good. They’re about the only good thing about this movie though.
When were you playing RPGs? I was playing D&D back in 1977, when I was still in High School. It was pretty basic back then- just 3 (later 4) small rule books, and miniatures were pretty new. We pretty much winged it- there were no modules to follow. I don't remember Space Quest,the space RPG we played was called Traveller.Um.
For people who are interested, DnD is a Table Top Role Playing Game. Everyone creates a character and then the "Dungeon Master" takes the group through a scenario they've either created from scratch or gotten from a book of scenarios. How the game goes is based on a combination of choices the team makes and rolls of the dice. And how much fun you have is a combination of how your team acts and how creative the Dungeon Master is.
I've never actually played it only because it wasn't around when I was playing RGP games. We started out playing something called Space Quest but our Space Master didn't like the tables of outcomes for mathematical reasons (there was a 20% chance the entire party would be killed and a 20% chance you'd win the moon on every roll regardless of what you were rolling for according to him) and ended up slowing replacing the tables and rules with his own. He was pretty good at it and we had a blast.
I'm up for a DnD movie though.
Oh, then it must have existed. We played SpaceQuest back in 82-83. But we'd never heard of DnD back then. I think when we moved to California and stopped playing, I finally heard of DnD. So maybe 83-84?
Ok that gets a reward for most awesome trailer.
Either way, this movie is definitely worth seeing. I swore the voice of the grandmother was Michelle Yeoh (it’s Wai Ching Ho) and had no idea who voiced the mother (it’s Sandra Oh)! So my voice recognition feature is not working. Another thing that surprised me is that the bubblegum pop songs in the movie were written by Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas. So some nice surprises with this movie.
Wasn't there some sort of discovery about the way he looked? He was always portrayed as ugly and misshapen when in fact he might have been hot? Or maybe that was another royal....
From things you've said before, this checks out.
I had trouble getting into it at first too. I found the beginning too frantic and loud and I wasn't getting into the friend group. But I did get into it after about 10-15 min.Another Oscar nominee viewing:
I watched some of Turning Red and then set it aside for over a week. It wasn’t grabbing my attention, maybe even annoying me a bit. But maybe I wasn’t in the mood for it. Because when I continued with it today, I really enjoyed it. Now I’m unsure whether the beginning was weak, but the rest of the movie was strong…or if I was in a mood!
King Richard had very bad scoliosis which helped visually to identify the bones that were found. I don't know much about how he was supposed to look, but Philippa Langley was very happy to have a forensic professional build what he may have looked like from his bones.
