Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
This was precisely what I was hoping for from a DnD adaptation. A wholly lighthearted adventure with a constant optimistic tone and playfulness in its presentation. The cast and ensemble of heroes are great here, all representing their TTRPG counterparts with heart. 962
It feels like the kind of film that I'd love follow ups for, just adding new party members.
<PERSON> totally anchors this thing with his signature chemistry, but I also have to shoutout <PERSON> for adding a strong warmth to the story which helps it massively. There are so many sequences in the film that were genuinely thrilling, and gave the sense of a group of adventurers working together to solve problems with their respective ability sets.
I'd honestly put this up alongside throwback adventure films like The Mummy, simply because it's so watchable and (likely) rewatchable. It feels like that kind of great crowd pleaser which should continue as a franchise, and leaves you really satisfied coming out of it. Such a great surprise this was. 19
