If there was anything missing from the lives of swords ‘n’ sorcery-loving nerds, it would be a proper Dungeons & Dragons movie. Now we have one. Read full review

With an emotional core it wears on its sleeve, it’s no surprise that the finished product of Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is extremely accessible and enticing for non-fans right from the jump, while also satisfying hardcore devotees of the game. Read full review

No matter how silly or severe the movie may get, Daley and Goldstein always approach the material on its merits. This is a fantasy adventure from people who seem to enjoy fantasy adventures without equivocation. Read full review

It's hard to imagine a D&D-branded movie doing a better job than this one of bringing the game to a cinematic platform. Read full review

Ultimately, “Dungeons & Dragons” delivers enough laughs and thrills to justify braving a trip to the theater. And for these purposes, that’s game, set and match. Read full review

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves bottles the spirit of the game in the flask of a fantasy adventure even if it fails to reinvent the wheel. Read full review

Kyle Smith

Every element other than Mr. Grant is brain-scarringly awful—the flat characters, the dull acting, the rusted-battleax dialogue, and above all the action scenes, which are frenzied, chaotic, meaningless and vapid, overflowing with CGI that is no more awe-inspiring than the average TV commercial about lizards selling auto insurance.

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. This movie obviously was a labor of love.

As a massive D&D fan and dungeon master myself, I found myself quite enjoying this movie! It feels like a giant D&D campaign filled with the entertainment, chaos, and intense action that can comes from such a game. Even the runtime felt rather adequate given that it’s 134 minutes. EverythingAs a massive D&D fan and dungeon master myself, I found myself quite enjoying this movie! It feels like a giant D&D campaign filled with the entertainment, chaos, and intense action that can comes from such a game. Even the runtime felt rather adequate given that it’s 134 minutes. Everything connects back together and there’s an epic fight at the end very reminiscent of a D&D boss fight at the end that really makes you feel accomplished. Overall, a great watch that I would love to watch again and again.… Expand

I did not expect that the movie will be so fun. Great action, great humor. It's maybe not the best movie in the world, but definitely the best DnD movie, and I hope we will get more.

Realy fun DND movie with good actors and great fan service for people who love the swordcoast.

For non DND fans it's a solid 7,5 for a night in home cinema, I guess.

Great spell effects and animated monsters.

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.… Expand

Good movie but the way the press was reviewing this like its the best thing since sliced bread... Its a fun afternoon with color by numbers plot and predictable twists.
