Watched this in the theatre. The person left to me was browsing on his phone, and the one on the right fell asleep. It’s a bit slow at moments and I was happy it was over.

I think it was fair, it had a few funny moments. Enjoyable for 1 time.

It felt like it was an epic campaign your friend played, but it sounds a lot less interesting when your friend was retelling the story. :person_shrugging:

Who gave this movie this rating, i’ve seen better with a rating of 40%

Overall a pretty superb movie; the acting, action, comedy and storylines were great. My personal favourite moment was when the gang attempted to question the dead- be sure to stick around for the brief post credit scene!

This was a very good movie. I didn’t know anything about Dungeons and Dragons a board game but this was still a blast. The movie theater I went to didn’t have a break during the movie and I definitely did not need that with this one. The humor was also on another level and very clever. The movie definitely has some hartwarming scenes but doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Soooooo goooood. Loved it. More please.

Got exactly what I was going for: a fun heroic fantasy adventure movie.

Just back from a secret screening of this and it had no business being so good.

Better and more fun than most of the recent Marvel movies!

There are some clunky moments in the first half as things get settled and I was very underwhelmed initially by Michelle Rodriguez performance as a Drax-lite type character but the action is really well executed and overall the movie is a ton of fun. It isn’t as tongue in cheek or meta as the trailer makes it seem which is a good thing as it never feels like it is making fun of or ashamed of the genre. It fully embraces it and the characters really come together as a team.

I went to a pre-screening of this movie last night, not expecting much more than a comfortable seat in an UltraAVX theatre with a big bag of popcorn with layered butter. The last three movies I’d seen of Chris Pine’s had been big disappointments and I knew he was the top of the call sheet for this film. So, basically I thought it would be a media hyped 2 to 4 out of 10. I was wrong. The story had a well crafted arc (though predictably the good guys win - I don’t even think that qualifies as a spoiler). The practical effects were amazing, almost making the CGI unnecessary. There were dungeons, dragons and mayhem. The writing was witty and the comedy was ridiculous. More than just a three lead movie, the young cast were fantastic, definitely not playing in the shadow. As usual, I did a mini-exit poll of the people sitting around me in the packed house. There was one 7.5, five 8s and I’ll add to that because I would definitely see this film again, it was a lot of fun. I give this film an 8 (great entertainment) out of 10. [Fantasy, Adventure Romp]

This was a very decent Hollywood fantasy flick. You can predict by the actors what kind of movie you can expect. I imagine bonus points for D&D fans!

Fans of the game will find many issues with this movie. This movie was made for people who know about dungeons and dragons only through pop culture shows like strangers things. The producers of the movie openly admitted to emasculating the male characters so that the female characters are uplifted in the movie. I don't understand why you cant let each character reach their potential. How is it the bard did nothing and meanwhile the druid wild shaped 7 times in under a minute? The movie also put a ton of focus on the father daughter relationship between Edgin and Kira. God what a snooze fest. This is something you wouldn't see roleplayed or actually a part of a campaign. The fight at the end was the only redeemable part. It felt true to the speed of a fight in D&D if played out in full speed. Also the staf only had a range of 500 feet but then at end of the movie it conveniently changes to a quarter mile?

I loved the cartoons in the 80's and played the game in the 90's so I didn't go in blind. However I also remember past attempts so I didn't expect anything.
This movie balances perfectly between fan service ( D&D lore ) , humor for the Marvel crowd and action for the F&F audience. Although I expect D&D content creators will fill up social media with posts nitpicking stuff I think it landed where Willow wanted to go. Lighter than hard fantasy ( G.O.T, L.O.T.R ) but not, as my teenager would say, cringe ( Wheel of Time , The Rings Of Power , Blood origin )
Good old fashioned quest, popcorn movie for the entire family. Start of a franchise but nothing groundbreaking, solid 7.

"Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" is an excellent popcorn film. I was certainly entertained for more than two hours because all the elements of the movie mesh together wonderfully. For example, the cast doesn't have a single real weak point. The heroic quartet at the heart of the story is consistently endearing. On the antagonistic side, Hugh Grant is especially charming with his delightfully quirky character. A real scene-stealer, however, is Regé-Jean Page, whose role could have been a bit bigger.

In terms of content, I can't complain much either. The film has a good pace and some hilarious scenes. The special effects are also quite good, though they are not the film's main attraction. Overall, the movie doesn't really deliver many new elements for blockbuster cinema. However, the ingredients are perfectly matched, so you can definitely have a good time. I would definitely watch any future sequels. However, "Honor Among Thieves" also works very well on its own.

A fun romp that manages to balance the high fantasy and the cheesiness well. It's not overly complicated, making itself pretty accessible while still paying enough homage for the die-hard fans. The use of practical effects was also a pleasure to see in this day and age. There will probably be a bunch of redditors that want to nitpick story-choices in comparison to actual game mechanics but they're forgetting the most important rule of D&D - the Rule of Cool.

Wow, what a movie. And perfectly transformed from the game. It has the fun of all the gaming-rounds I played with D&D.
The world has been „painted“ wonderful and the actors are perfect.
I really enjoyed it today in the sneak preview

We had a chance to watch the special preview earlier today. Overall it was a really good movie. Everyone in the theater seemed to enjoy the showing.

The action was good, had the right amount of jokes and the story flowed well.

While it doesn't hold a candle to The Leged of Vox Machina, it's still quite a fun movie to sit back and switch off to. Sadly most of the one liners and quips were in the trailers, but the story in between is fairly good too. Enough to keep you engrossed in the movie. It's definitely worth the watch if you're at all interested in light hearted fantasy movies or D&D type things.

First it was described as a live action remake of the awesome 80s cartoon, now it's something else again... Bet it's going to be bad

Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, and D&D?

I'm in.
