Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (dir. John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein) - review by Rookie-Critic

Making a Dungeons & Dragons film is not something you think would be difficult, but it has proven to be quite a challenge. Since the original tabletop RPG's release in 1974, only four official films have even been released, and the first one of those didn't come out until 2000, 26 years later. That original trilogy of D&D films had a rough go of it, all three being both commercially and critically panned, and none of them even coming close to truly capturing the wondrous and, frankly, kooky spirit anybody who has actually played the game before knows it to have. With literally endless narrative possibilities, how can filmmakers keep failing to capture the essence that makes this fantasy role-playing game so much fun? Honor Among Thieves bursts through the theater wall like some kind of medieval Kool-Aid Man with answer to that question, and the answer is: comedy.

I have only played Dungeons & Dragons a few times, but just from what little experience I have with the game, I can tell you that the one constant the D&D experience offers is humor. The main game mechanic of having to come up with your own solutions to problems, with everything revolving around some arbitrary numbers on a page and a roll of the 20-sided die, is a veritable stomping ground for quirky hijinks and mayhem. Having the utmost confidence in yourself and your plan to get past an obstacle only to roll a one and fail miserably, having to act out the ensuing embarrassment in real time, that's what makes D&D so much fun. The fantasy world is almost just a vehicle to introduce wild NPCs and gadgets and magic to even further induce mischief. The thing that makes Honor Among Thieves work so well is that it takes all of these aspects of the game and just slaps them onto the big screen. I can just as easily have seen this as a HarmonQuest-style internet show where Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, and the rest sit around a table with some cameras pointed at them as we watch them actually play this campaign out in actual Dungeons & Dragons. Characters shit talk each other, deliver quippy one-liners when appropriate, get caught off guard by something they didn't expect to happen, come up with crazy solutions that logically shouldn't work, but then it somehow miraculously does. Literally everything about the spirit of this film is perfect, and the most wonderful part is you don't have to be into D&D in order to enjoy this, it's mostly just a fun adventure comedy.

The whole cast shines perfectly in their respective roles (I'm always a huge fan of Hugh Grant in anything comedic), but a truly special shout out needs to go to Chris Pine on this one. If Chris Pine isn't the perfect choice for a too-sure-of-himself, slightly annoying, but lovable bard-type character, then I don't know who is. I would say my one reservation with the film is that there are a couple of moments where the writing leans a little too heavily on over-exposition when explaining some of the deeper lore the audience needs for context on characters. There was probably a way that could have been weaved a little more naturally into the dialogue, but I can probably just chalk it up to yet another D&D trope. Maybe when the writers were playing through this campaign (which I'm almost certain they did), they had a slightly over-zealous DM who got a little too into it sometimes. These moments never last too long and, ultimately, do provide a lot of necessary information regarding certain important characters in the story, so they didn't end up detracting from the viewing experience hardly at all. This was a fun, heartfelt, and hilarious journey into one of the most famous mythical lands there is that the film makers clearly put a whole lot of love and personal experience into. It makes for a D&D film that anyone, regardless of age or interest in the source material, can have a fantastic time with.

Score: 9/10

Currently only in theaters.

Directors: Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley

Mini-review:

I hadn't seen such a fun, old-school fantasy adventure in a while. All the characters are charming and the story moves at brisk pace, so the viewer is never bored. Also, the cast has great chemistry and their rapport always feels natural. I love a good heist movie and, on top of that, if you add a complex, well-built fantasy world, it's even more enjoyable. To be honest, my knowledge of the D&D world is fairly limited, so I got a bit lost whenever they started mentioning races, classes, etc. Thankfully, there are not many moments like that, so everyone can enjoy the movie without worrying about not understanding what's going on.

On the technical side, the movie is very well-made. The costumes, the make-up, the sets and the CGI are all really good, and they help you immerse yourself in the movie's world and story. I think anyone who likes fantasy and adventure stories will enjoy this movie, so make sure to watch if you are that type person. Anyway, I would like to see more movies about these characters and their world, so I hope things turn out well in the box office.

If a Eternal Champions movie ever happen, I nominated Remington Hoffman or Priyom Haider as Larcen Tyler, Ser'Darius Blain or Eme Ikwuakor as Jonathan Blade, Haruka Abe or Tao Okamoto as Shadow Yamato, Jason Wong as Mitchell Middleton Knight/Midknight, Cory Sandhagen as R.A.X. Coswell, Sasha Luss as Jetta Maxx, Lateef Crowder or Marko Zaror as Trident, Gavin Stenhouse as Xavier Pendragon, Kristofer Hivju as Slash and Sung Kang as The Eternal Champion.
