Muito engraçado e divertido. Dungeons & dragons peca na duração do filme (que poderia ser menor) e tbm no vilão que é muito esquecivel, mas conquista com seu humor e carisma do elenco

The film is thoroughly entertaining; with intriguing characters, great action, and some well done comedy. There is very little that holds the movie back, and any minor flaws I could point out really didn't do anything to erode the overall wonderful experience. I highly recommend watching Honor Among Thieves; it's worth your time. Expand

The humor is good and its good to have Pine in this, but the plot and globe trotting is very loose and the combat is particularly weak.

Nearly everything was really good, i enjoyed it a lot. The story was well written, the action was exciting und the comedy parts were funny. Overall nothing too special, but it is absolutely worth to watch, even if you are not familiar with D&D.

I have to say, I was quite disappointed. The characters are wafer thin with very little invested for me to get to know or like any of them. I didn’t care much about any of them. I quickly grasped the plot and suspended belief for 2+ hours and sat back to enjoy the show. Except, I didn’t. It lacked sincerity. It lurched from one chaotic scene to the next. There was no finesse. The jokes were telegraphed miles ahead and although people in the audience laughed, it was a polite chuckle rather than a guffaw. The movie tried to simulate the chaos, arguments and spontaneity of the D&D game. There was strong element of “making it up as they went along,” but it failed for me in conviction and delivery. There were no moody sets or backgrounds to the action. There was no attempt to create a universe in the manner of Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. It was superficial, lacked sincerity and had a comic book quality, which, for me, was a missed opportunity. One of the most addictive aspects of the D&D game is for players and dungeon masters to populate the worlds, the landscape and towns, with detailed and absorbing descriptions of inns and castles and even the battles themselves. All this was missing here in order to move the plot from one disaster to the next. The cast is undeniably world-class but I cannot imagine in years to come that any of them will look back at this movie as anything other than a bit of fun and a pay check. None of them had anything to get their teeth into, except perhaps Hugh Grant as the campy villain, Forge Fitzwilliam. Classic it is not. The best scene ironically is where the protagonists try to get information from a series of dead people. Now that was really funny and resembles the sort of antics that may well occur in a real game of D&D. I so wanted to love this movie. I tried. I failed. Expand

Chris Pine heads up the gang that's out to rescue his daughter from the evil ruler (Hugh Grant, once again relishing the bad guy role). They go on an adventure that's relatively typical for this sort of tale, although there are surprisingly few dragons and virtually no dungeons. The actions sequences are OK and the effects are OK. What gives this movie its charm is the addition of a comic sensibility; not outright punchlines, but eye-rolling reactions that generate a few laughs. If it weren't for the popular franchise, this movie would quickly be relegated to the dungeon of similar movies. Expand

But most importantly, does it honour what Dungeons and Dragons is all about and keep true to the spirit of this world-renown table-top role-playing game and what makes it so beloved? On that point... Natural 20!

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.

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.

Genuinely Fantastic Adventure Film.

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.

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.

It lives up to the trailer. Biggest on-screen assets are Chris Pine generously sharing the spotlight with his co-stars; and, VFX with unusually high visual vitality.

Biggest on-screen assets are Chris Pine generously sharing the spotlight with his co-stars; and, VFX with unusually high visual vitality. On the downside, as with Shazam 2, I cant shake the feeling Im back again in 2010 or 2005. Spiderman No Way Home had a trickle of resonance with real life. 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.

As a devout DnD player I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It is also an excellent movie for the general population. That brings it to the next level. I went in with high expectations because of the positive reviews and I was not let down.As a devout DnD player I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

Really surprised by this one! A lot of 2000s blockbuster vibes, the comedy works, and (up until the climax) it’s paced well. Check it out’

I write this review as an average person vaguely familiar with D&D but by no means an avid consumer or player of the game. That being said I felt this move was great. Able to stand on its own feet regardless of the IP. The humor was on pointI write this review as an average person vaguely familiar with D&D but by no means an avid consumer or player of the game. 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

My knowledge about Dungeons & Dragons is basically null.
I only have a small understanding of the most elemental stuff about it and I must confess that because of this and because the movie didn't necessarily look appealing I wasn't so sure
My knowledge about Dungeons & Dragons is basically null.
I only have a small understanding of the most elemental stuff about it and I must confess that because of this and because the movie didn't necessarily look appealing I wasn't so sure about watching it, but for that same reason I didn't predispose myself to anything and for that, watching Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves turned out to be a pleasant and fun surprise for me.

I don't know to what extent its charm will be enough to build the franchise it's evidently aiming to build, but it has the cast and formula to work if things don't get out of hand. I admit that it can feel a bit heavy at first because the story throws a lot at you to digest and the plot doesn't do the best job explaining its own world, but as far as I'm concerned it's more than comprehensible to any viewer. It's all a matter of paying enough attention.

The power of this movie lies in how much you are willing to immerse yourself in its fantasy, because everything revolves around it.
It's a kind of world that reminded me a bit of the Warcraft movie, but where Duncan Jones failed to introduce such a humongous world, John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein succeed in making this experience more humorous, more fun, more lighthearted, much more accessible and above all more exciting, and that also has a lot to do with the cast. There is chemistry in all of them, even when the group of actors look like a troupe of cosplayers, and the truth is that this helps a lot in any movie to advance the narrative in a better way. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a solid action/fantasy film that fits quite nicely into the spectrum of big franchises in CGI worlds. Worthy for fans and non-fans alike. If you understand that, then go and have a nice entertaining time because if you're expecting an art-film filled with super deep themes and want to judge it that way, then you are choosing your own disappointment.

Great action and great humor. Had Princess Bride vibes.

I hope those franchises learn from this example. (And I've never played D&D in my life.) Expand
