Today sees the release of the best fantasy film of 2023 so far in the streaming flat, which is unfortunately an insider tip. Read why the Chris Pine adventure is worth your while here.
In Germany, not even one million people have seen Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves in the cinema, yet the fantasy adventure is one of the most entertaining blockbusters of the year. Now there’s another chance to catch up with the film starring Star Trek captain Chris Pine and Fast and Furious family member Michelle Rodriguez at home.
This is what Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves is all about
A thief (Chris Pine) and a barbarian (Michelle Rodriguez) break out of prison together after two years of incarceration. Along the way they meet a talentless wizard (Justice Smith) and a druidess (Sophia Lillis). Together they plan to steal from the cheating villain (Hugh Grant), while the thief wants to free his daughter from his clutches.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves
Dungeons & Dragons was made by the same directing duo as Game Night and it shows in the fantasy romp. The family-friendly adventure is full of wordplay, inventive visual ideas and action scenes that imaginatively build on the powers of its hero group. This group in turn convinces with an excellent cast that gives the individual classes from the Dungeons & Dragons game proper character.
Nevertheless, the film fell short of expectations at the box office, which was partly due to its timing. Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves opened bracketed between two of the big films of the year: John Wick: Chapter 4 and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which attracted a lot of attention.
Consequently, a sequel has not yet been announced, but at least: the film tells a self-contained story and does not necessarily need a second part.
