    God, the first one was utter dogshit.

    Apparent Vin Diesel is a big time Sword and Sorcery/D&D fan and that is why he does these movies.

    Unfortunately he is such a wooden talentless actor and doesn’t really work as anything but a meathead with a lowered car.

    Boo to all you naysayers! The first was a gloriously funky (and, you know, more than a little moldy) hunk of aged cheese, and I’m excited for the sequel.

    I like Vin best when he’s getting to let his nerd flag fly, and it doesn’t get much more “Vin Diesel: Turbo Nerd” than a movie based around his personal DnD campaigns.

      He did a few years ago, dude is 92 now, but apparently Vin Diesel and him have been buds since making the first one in 2015. They hang out, they go on walks and Vin wheels him around in his wheel chair.

      Michael Caine is coming out of retirement to do this movie with his good buddy Vin. It is sweet gesture of friendship.
