Captain Kirks Excellent Journey

Review of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) by billiamthenerd: 👍 8.5/10

This is how you do a D\&D movie. I don't need a nod to each and every rule. I don't need it in the style of the Jumanji series where we know people are playing a game. Just give me a fantasy movie with familiar characters and creatures and make it as outrageous as a real campaign can be.

If you've ever played D\&D it's a good thing that this film didn't get too close to some players real games as the term "murder hobos" comes from the D\&D world. Which means basically a group of people without solid roots going from town to town killing anything that looks at them wrong.

This film's strength is its cast. Everyone did a great job. In my oh so humble opinion, Michelle Rodriguez is the weakest link so having her be the barbarian was an inspired choice. I do like Rodriguez, but let's just say she's not a ranger... get it... it's a joke about her acting range? But I digress...

This film was a ton of fun and I enjoyed every minute of it. This is a great movie to put on when I want something entertaining but easy. Something that won't tax my brain a whole lot but also isn't so mind numbingly dumb that I fall asleep.

Also Regé-Jean Page is very handsome and I'd watch him in anything.
