It isn't the best film ever made, however, it's worth watching. It keeps the soul of DnD; in some scenes though the eyes of some secondary character you can really see the hate of the DM just after a member of the party has completely destroyed his plans. The plot is fairly linear and simple, but not obvious or stupid, just like a one-shot. It's enjoyable by both DnD veterans and those who never heard what DnD is: the story is well explained so that everyone can understand it, but DnD veterans won't be bored because they will be focused on pointing out every single reference and hint to classes, locations, abilities, spells and so forth. The locations are wonderfully made, the atmosphere is not bad at all thanks to a solid soundtrack, the outfits are astounding (with few exceptions), and the characters are quite characterized and well-made. Even though some reviews talk about wokeness and cast diversity, it's never brought up in the film and the cast diversity doesn't seem forced. However, it has few flaws: most of the action scenes are full with blinding lights, mediocre VFXs and hundreds of cuts and horribles camera movements that prevent you from understanding what happens. And finally most of the CGI is mediocre (except from the final scenes). If you like watching fantasy films or you like DnD you'll surely love it, and even if you don't love fantasy films I think you will probably still like it due to it's light-hearted comedy; just don't expect an action packed film, or a film filled with intrigue or high emotions, but a simple solid, light-hearted fantasy film.… Expand

The magic is well done in this film (it is not a copy of Doctor Strange or Harry Potter). The actors have also done a good job. The story is also well thought out but there were still inconsistencies (not much). It is a strong comedy with very good jokes and funny moments. You can see that the jokes are not only for the kids but also for the older community. The fans of Dungeons and Dragons should be happy with the result, because it is not a bad film.

If you like comedy or adventure, you should definitely watch this film.… Expand

Unlike other attempts to adapt not just board games, but any sort of source material, there really is a sense of respect and adoration for the game here, with special reverence towards the process of teamwork and problem-solving. You gotta love a film that just makes you want to drop everything and engage with the thing it's based on. Especially when you've never even engaged with that subject matter before. This really is the first real winner of 2023 for me and a solid contender for movie of the year so far — no joke.… Expand

This film is a perfect blend of comedy, action, and adventure that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

The film's fast-paced action sequences are executed flawlessly, immersing the audience in a fantasy world filled with dragons, magic, and treacherous villains. The comedy in the film works extremely well, delivering numerous laugh-out-loud moments that add to the overall enjoyment of the film.

One of the highlights of the film is the incredible chemistry between the characters. The ensemble cast features a diverse group of characters, each with their unique personalities and backstories, and their interactions are both heartwarming and hilarious.

The cinema was packed to see this film, and it was clear that everyone was having a great time. It's refreshing to see a movie that isn't trying to promote a message or preach to the audience or view itself as being on the moral high ground. "Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves" is just a fun, enjoyable film that allows us all to escape reality and have a good time.

Overall, "Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves" is a highly entertaining film that will appeal to both fans of the fantasy genre and those who are just looking for a fun and exciting movie experience. We need more movies like this one, and I would highly recommend watching it to anyone who is looking for an adventure-filled escape from reality.… Expand

Finally a good Dungeons & Dragons movie, one that actually feels like it was a genuine campaign. The dialogue is well-written, the humor hits great, and the plot progresses naturally. There's a neat balance between tropey and unique that lends itself well to a film about a TTRPG.

I honestly didn't expect them to give as much focus as they did to the non-humanoid races in D&D, let alone all of the obscure monsters and creatures they included. The CGI wasn't groundbreaking, but the team behind it clearly had both the passion and skill to make a pretty good effort at bringing D&D's fantastic fantasy feeling to the big screen.

Every character but the druid were given arcs, the barbarian's was especially great. The wizard's was a bit tropey and the bard's was just absolute tropetopia but that just works to better sell you on the idea that this is a real campaign between friends.

Don't listen to anyone dragging this film, because this really is the first Hasbro vehicle in ages that was given to people that actually wanted to deliver quality cinema.… Expand

O filme inicia com a dupla de protagonistas presos, e é bem feliz a escolha dos flashbacks por parte do roteiro, inserindo-os em momentos oportunos e com a dinamicidade que não nos faz perder o fio da história. Após escaparem da prisão, eles saem em busca de aliados para derrotar o vilão. Há que se dizer que os personagens encontrados pelo caminho tem todos uma personalidade própria, o que garante uma boa dose de humanidade a eles. Infelizmente sobrou pro aprendiz de feiticeiro interpretado por Justice Smith ser a válvula de humor do filme, do típico humor infantil, o que é uma pena, o filme poderia muito bem sobreviver sem certas piadinhas idiotas que ele faz ao longo do percurso, mas ainda assim o filme cheira mais a aventura mesmo, então relevemos.
A dose de drama familiar e de romance principalmente, está super bem equilibrada, não fazendo a qualidade cair. Há alguns easter eggs no caminho (como a turma da "caverna do dragão"), mas o filme basta por si, tem passagens bem criativas e ainda um plost no cargo da vilania que, embora seja sentido de longe, usou o timing correto.
Nesse tipo de projeto não se pode usar muito a lógica ou não querer que o roteiro abuse de conveniências, então claro que aqui há muitas, conquanto elas favoreçam o ritmo do filme e em prol de uma boa história, tá valendo, e foi exatamente isso que aconteceu.
Apesar de ser um pouco violento, não jorra sangue, permitindo a ida de jovens ao cinema, e certamente terão muita diversão a encontrar. Eu gostei que os planos foram bem arquitetados, não tratou seu expectador como idiota.
Com um ritmo bem intenso, pra mim as mais de duas horas passaram voando, não houve momentos de queda ou cansativos, o filme está divertido e empolgante do início ao fim. Uma grata surpresa.… Expand

That being said I felt this move was great. Able to stand on its own feet regardless of the IP. The humor was on point and while the touchy feely stuff was predictable, the execution and how it tied into the previous parts of the movie work so well. That’s probably the thing this movie pulls off the best in that nothing is throw away. Every detail is relevant to the story but it doesn’t bog you down with details. It does have some curse words so parents be aware, but nothing comes off as gratuitous or unnecessary. It’s a really fun story and a great movie.… Expand

I love Dungeons & Dragons, and this is a perfect representation of what it's like to play a tabletop campaign. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but it isn't just a big joke either. It was a perfect mix of serious, funny, emotional, and heartfelt moments. I can assure you there will be both laughter and tears, and you will be doing a whole lot of smiling throughout the movie. Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, Hugh Grant, Daisy Head, and Chloe Coleman all did a great job portraying their characters and made the movie better for it. The effects, both practical and CG, greatly enhanced the movie and there were some amazing landscapes and sets portrayed too. All in all, this is a must watch film for anyone looking to have a great time whether you're a fan of D&D or not. I would highly recommend reading the two prequel novels, Druid's Call and The Road to Neverwinter, too since they go deeper into the characters' origins and motivations, which really enhanced my enjoyment and made me feel a deeper connection with each of them.… Expand

I really liked this one. For me, it managed to juggle the characters, plot, and action scenes, in a way that allowed me to care. stepping back, I see that there was a lot that needed to happen to get to the end and that could have easily become a jumbled mess. While not perfect, I think the story pacing was done well enough to get me to a satisfactory ending. The cast did a great job getting me to care for whatever shenanigans they were getting into. I'm probably not the best to critique someone else's writing, but if there were any bad writing, I couldn't tell. What I really liked is that each member of the party had their hero moments (some more than others) and that they played well with their character. in conclusion: Liked it a lot, time will tell if I really love it.… Expand

D&D and Shazam 2 have zero resonance with issues or needs in the real world 2020-2023. Purely escapist movies like D&D and Shazam 2 assume audiences want nothing more for 90 to 120 minutes than relief and distraction from real world issues. If D&D makes a profit, Ill be happy to see outstanding creative teamwork rewarded. If D&D fails to find a large audience, Ill take more seriously how outstanding creative teamwork cant altogether substitute for, or paper over, being completely dissociated from all real world events, issues and needs.… Expand

Enjoyable movie because of the likeability of the characters, the goofy humor throughout and well crafted fantasy world. Don't watch it for anything deeper than that and you will have a good time!

Bonus points for the kind of shenanigans your average D&D enjoyer gets up to. Two: the film respects women (y'know, literally half of the population. I'm a guy and the male gaze in cinema makes me feel uncomfortable). Three: the film simply being good all by itself.

It exceeded my expectations in all three. It's tight, action-packed and the humour is on-point. Go watch it; you won't be disappointed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves delivers on what it promises. There are dungeons and dragons and thieves. If you had the pleasure of watching the trailers for the past four months and also absorbed the San Diego Comic-Con press tour, you are well aware of the sight gags: fat dragons, orifices, Detective Pikachu is going to meet Bridgerton is going to meet Captain Kirk, and at some point Hugh Grant is going to be squeamishly cruel while Chris Pine is restrained like a little Japanese school girl by a tentacle monster. Also, Michelle Rodriguez is in this movie and she is going to brawl like a **** tank. All of that happens! The movie is almost as long as a full campaign but it never quite feels long? Except when Chris Pine is singing on his lute. Or really when anyone is singing along with him. Do I have some questions? Sure. Did this movie make me break out into hysterical and unexpected laughter more than once? Absolutely. Am I skeptical of the ability of this movie to replicate its success in later films? Sure. Will that impinge on your ability to enjoy this movie? Possibly!

What’s important right now is for you to know what worked and what didn’t. So, what worked? What’s clear even from the trailer is that the film has split its allotment of villains into two baskets: in one basket is the cartoonishly evil Red Wizards–shooting lightning out of their hands, throwing kittens into rivers, setting people’s babies on fire, etc.–the Voldemort basket, if you will, and in the other basket is the scoundrel-y, double-crossing, ultimately crueler because of its mundanity, the Draco basket, let’s call it. I’m a fan of splitting villains generally, whether it’s for powerscaling reasons (think goombas vs. Bowser), or because you want to be able to have some of the bad guys momentarily turn on other bad guys (think Thanos vs. Ronan the Accuser), or just because it extends the story somewhat (think Casino Royale’s distinct first and second acts).

Rick Remender’s Seven to Eternity was probably the most fun variant of the enemies to friends plot in a D&D-type story I’ve ever encountered for many of the same reasons cited above. The Mud King’s capture forces a motley band of heroes to endure some very wise cracks from the most silver of silver tongues. The forces at work to return him to power are sundry and legion, but there are all sorts who have motives for inflicting maximal pain on him before he can be brought to justice. In Honor Among Thieves, I was a little worried that the trailer had given away too much of the Red Wizard’s arc (and in some ways it does), but there’s a fair bit of interaction between the wizard and the rest of the cast, which doesn’t rely on combat to resolve itself. Probably the most satisfying villain is actually Hugh Grant, whose quick and easy lies devastate and vex by virtue of his former place as a trusted confidante.

Does Hugh Grant have a power? Is he a wizard? I ask all twelve Friends who made it to this over-invited movie event. “No, he’s just a guy.” But all the other guys can turn into bears and stuff, right? So what’s his deal? “He doesn’t have a deal. He’s just a thing.” The film does have a fair bit of excellent power scaling in it. Not every character is made equally. I think a lot about how one of my favorite parts of Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is the fact that your party is composed of 1) a plumber, 2) a princess, 3) a prince made of clouds, 4) a lizard king, and 5) a **** fallen star wizard puppet that has a move that does over 9000 damage. Just so, Honor Among Thieves features a dude who can’t play the lute miming playing the lute, a brawler, a minor sorcerer, a shapeshifter, a… just normal guy with plans, I guess?, and Regé-Jean Page, skilled swordsman and powerful magical being. It means that the party has a formidable opponent to guard against big and small problems as they occur. A friend described this “everybody gets a moment” quality to the movie as reminiscent of the best elements of Phase 2 in the MCU, those Avengers moments when you’d get to see Iron Man do something badass and then maybe Cap would do something that would get the crowd cheering, etc. Kind of reminds me of how Gandalf in his infinite wisdom doesn’t call Eagles to deliver the Ring of Power to Mordor in a day’s time, but instead concocts a generations-long plan to have halflings journey for thousands of miles to assemble the forces of Man, Elf, and Dwarf to… eventually have Eagles finish the job, etc. So so much more to say but I'm hitting the word limit soon on this site!… Expand

What a Surprise, Something new and Fresh, entertaining, funny, and cinematically modern. To put it simply this movie is a product of what you'd get if you were to combine the MCU(The good MCU) and Lord of The Rings. This a true testament toWhat a Surprise, Something new and Fresh, entertaining, funny, and cinematically modern. To put it simply this movie is a product of what you'd get if you were to combine the MCU(The good MCU) and Lord of The Rings. This a true testament to the D&D Franchise that has been alive for a long time, and this movie captures the essence and the general fun of D&D.

The Visuals, the characters, and just the way things are filmed show that this was a film that the cast and Crew enjoyed making. Not only is it well-paced its also filled with lore that is appealing.

I enjoyed watching this film, it took its time, and it immersed you in a new world filled with wonder and time, crazy fun and wacky scenes that I never thought I'd want to see on screen.

Ok let me roll my dice here for ratings:
VFX and Practicals - 10/10, this is the perfect blend and use of visuals I have not seen in a while.

Characters - 9/10, While I don't remember all of their names, I liked every character in this movie, maybe some were sidelined a little bit but still an outstanding job.

Story and Plot 8/10, Simple, takes its time and is charming.

Comedy Factor - 8/10, not every Joke will hit especially for those not familiar with D&D but most will.

Action and Adventure - 9/10, It's all in the Journey and that's all that matters, maybe lacks some action at points but when there is action it's top tier.

This movie Hit me in the sweet spot and really did something new for a change compared to Hollywood standards.
9/10, well done, I expect a sequel and more adventures to come in the future. Everyone that had to do with the making of this film should be proud of themselves, they deserve praise and respect for the service done to the fans and the standard of movie-making.… Expand
