Saw it today too. It was OK. Needed to cut about 30 mins out of it. No business being 2 hrs, 14 mins. Also, most of the jokes fell very flat.

At about the 30 min mark, I decided I didn't like the movie. But the rest of the movie grew on me. That first 30 mins should have been cut down to 5-10. It takes a LONG time to get the whole gang together.

And minus points for Regé-Jean Page barely being in the movie.

The first 30 could definitely use some editing. I dig what they were trying to do, because it happens in every D&D campaign; backstories are told, the party is brought together, etc. I definitely think it could have been edited down a bit, a minute here, 30 seconds there, and it would have been a much tighter intro.
