Since Covid it seems the quality of movies has gone down. Fortunately this movie is on exception. It has fun characters and a good story. It even has a fat dragon. Edgin (Chris Pine) our thief/planner and Holga (Michelle Rodriguez) the muscle have been betrayed by by a former team member, Forge (Hugh Grant) who has been influenced by a red wizard, Sofina (Daisy Head) who helped Forge become a ruler, and wealthy. The red wizard's goal is to take over the population with a half dead curse and create an army to rule. Forge has fostered Edgin's daughter, Kira (Chloe Coleman), and has manipulated her with lies. Edgin seeks a talisman which will bring his dead wife back to life. He engages the help of a wizard, Simon (Justice Smith) who lacks confidence and consequently is not a very good wizard. and a druid, Doric (Sophia Lillis). She is able to transform from creature to creature. The talisman is in Forge's safe. This is protected with many spells. The only way in is with a helmet which cancels all spells. Xenk (Regé-Jean Page) who is a Harper (sworn to peace) and reminds Edgin he is a Harper as well.
The conclusion of this movie is very fun. It ends much differently than you would expect. Suffice it to say that Edgin gets his daughter back, but they are still poor.
