Adventure awaits!
It seemed like an impossible feat to bring Dungeons & Dragons to life, especially considering the game doesn’t have any one story to adapt to the big screen. But Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves — directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein from a screenplay they wrote in partnership with Michael Gilio — is appealing to those who have played and those who haven’t. The film is entertaining, wildly funny, and the cast gels together incredibly well.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Two years after being imprisoned for attempting to steal gold and a magical artifact, Edgin and best friend Holga hatch a plan to escape and return to Edgin's daughter Kira . However, she isn’t pleased to see him, believing that he valued riches over her.
The action sequences are well-choreographed and the special effects believable, and the musical score by — is lovely and memorable. Everything from the costumes to the hair, makeup and production design is beautiful. Honor Among Thieves really leans into the fantastical elements, and the characters’ travels allow the audience to take in the variety of places and creatures that exist within this world.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is greatly elevated by a charismatic cast, all of whom seem to be having a blast with the material and the world in which their fictional counterparts exist. Pine and Rodriguez are the pair no one knew they needed until now. They light up the screen and make for a comedic duo.
The film is quite long, but it doesn’t drag or get bogged down too much by all that’s happening. It moves swiftly enough for audiences to keep up and remains engaging because of the characters, adventure, and changes in location. It’s a fully realized world and one can’t help but be immersed in it.
