@diotima oh my days what a garbage movie that was. Predictable, overused plot. Boring characters. Characters who did nothing to do with their class, ie, a bard who is supposed to what, level 17 who used no spells and sang a song like... Twice. And it wasn't even like he was using bardic inspiration.
The druid was the only cool character, but, too many wild shapes and wtf was that creepy owlbear?

Let's give an honourable mention to the cgi/ effects on things like the tabaxi and arrakokra...

I hate to be "that guy" but he's not a bard.
He's a rogue with an actor background. He poses as a bard to get info, working for the Harpers I believe.
He says as much in the flashback exposition dump.
The famous time he plays the lute is a cast of major image and the gaurd passes his saving throw, and sees through it.
Any other time he plays it it's because he's a PC who happens to have a lute.
Any character can have 1.
Not a great or perfect film, but that fixes that.
