I get it they dont have the funds to do all the special effects, but the writing is terrible, and really the female director has no clue how to do action scenes.
The female characters are all posers; is the sorceress supposed to be doing something useful or is she just there to titillate the Paladin?
Well the OP is pretty on the money about the action scenes I'm afraid. Staged with all the reality of a school play.
But if you've a mind to see a cut price Lord of the Rings with refreshingly a female heroine, rather than male hero, this may be your bag, with the 'bonus" of a Kevin Sorbo cameo.🐭

Were it just the one post, I'd possibly listen, but pasting it several times just reeks of agenda and issues, really. Also, it's not all films - Things improve with each new one anyway, including "the female director", though why gender is a factor I don't know...
What matters most is being able to follow the action, which a number of top budget films stuff up. Here at least you can see the hits, catch the moves and it makes sense. For being such a crappy "female" director, it does at least look like she's slowly picking up things from decent actions editors like Jackie Chan.

Which is like half the D&D games out there... which is kinda the target audience, really. You can sit there and tick off the Tropes, stereotypes, even the failed dice rolls. Again, another point of improvement, as you can watch the series and see everything getting better, from the camera work, to the editing, acting, direction, composition, framing, pace... it's all good.
Certainly better 'D&D' type films than the actual D&D films!!
