It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Honestly, I never thought I would like this show. As a D&D player (and DM) myself, I've always thought that watching someone play without playing yourself to be extremely boring. 54 episodes later, I have to say: that was not the case with Critical Role.How can watching 8 people talk and roll dice make you laugh or cry?I've found that listening to Matt's descriptions would paint a picture before my eyes. It was just like watching a movie, only way better. Because fails are awesome too here. Characters are not always ready or prepared, they sometimes don't really know what to say. And that makes them more real. Through the players' voices, I can hear their characters. I've come to the point where i really believe that Ashley and Sam are gnomes, and Travis is a Goliath.This show made me want to be a better DM, and a better player. Matthew, I one day will be as prepared as you are! I know the chances of the cast ever reading this, but if any of you ever do, thank you for letting me watch and have fun with you.

This 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.

Critical Role is an excellent display of just how much fun you can have playing the classic 'pen and paper' game of Dungeons and Dragons. Bringing the old radio plays from the 20s into a modern day setting (the internet) these highly talented voice actors all inject fun, enthusiasm and entertainment into their characters.Matthew Mercer (Halo 4, Diablo 3) takes on the role of the Game Master, the person responsible for maintaining the story, who guides the players through their journey in a world of his creation. Every shopkeeper, tavern owner and wandering monster is brought to life by his quirky and intelligent style.On occasion the story can wane due to the size of the party and due to the budgets available to web shows the sound quality will sometimes go awry I was unable to rate it as a 10, but the quality of voice acting involved will rival any movie, TV show or video game. If you love playing the game itself or want to pick up some helpful tips this show is not something you can afford to miss.

One of the many things you must see before you die. Preferably Live. Do you like D&D look no further. In the vision of Matthew Mercer we follow our heroes in the quest of entertaining us. The gang of Vox Machina: The accountant Vex cries when the gang spend to much money. Her twin brother Vax is the sneaky backstabbing kind. Grog is the fierce Goliath with an heart of gold. Pike is the true-believer of the gang and she is also paladin with a strong healing touch. Percy is the tinker of the gang creating deadly things of use. Scanlan is the gigolo and bard and the gangs jester. Keyleth the Elven Druid of many shapes and she got a wonderful laugh. Tiberius the Sorcerer he is from Draconia.Critter and Vox Machina Fan for life.The toothy swede.
