I know very little about the Dungeons and Dragons game but you don’t need to this very enjoyable and entertaining film, I expected a lot and was not disappointed, highly recommended.
I’m so glad I bought this. It was a very engaging, witty and entertaining action fantasy romp. Great special effects and some good old-fashioned model work which was nice to see. I was a fan of most of the cast anyway but here they do not disappoint. Loved it.
It’s a fun movie that I’m happy to watch again. It captures the feel of playing D&D well, particularly the random, slightly chaotic vibe of a good session. The extras like the gag reel on the disc are also fun, so very happy overall.
This is the D&D movie we’ve been waiting 4 decades for. The cast are superb, it strikes just the right balance of serious and silly. Brilliant nod to the original D&D cartoon. Watchable again and again.
I really enjoyed this film. It’s not my usual cup of tea but was on offer and thought it might be good for a change. It has some adult parts but for younger children probably will go over the heads. The story is well constructed and the characters are well throughout to keep me entertained. Special effects excellent and it has a good few laughs and decent length for the night.
Very pleased I purchased at 5
i’d read mixed reviews on this film, so i set my expectations low, but it wasnt as bad as i thought i think the well known cast helped it, ive seen worse movies than this
Better than i thought, i grow up watching the cartoon. I love the nod to the orginal with thw characters in the cage minus the unicorn.
The scenery was great and the story simple but engaging. Would love to see the orginal cartoon adaption as teenagers taken to a mysterious world and see dungeon master..
You don’t need to know anything about D&D to enjoy the film.
It’s not Shakespeare, you’re not going to finish the film contemplating the universe and it’s almost certainly not going to be winning award shows. But it’s hugely fun, has a decent story, passable special effects and most noticeably a superb cast who seem to be enjoying themselves immensely.
If you do play D&D there are enough sly winks from the film that you can almost picture the dice rolling.
after remembering the game and how intriguing the plots could be.
I’ve seen more action and violence on TV channel.
I found this film a little on the weak side.
I bought wrong my fault. Alot of my Blurays say 4K and Bluray. I even have a few black cases of 4K that has bluray as well. Unfortunately i didnt look properly and just bought 4K.
I did watch film on Paramount +, the films ok to be fair not my best watch but kids and D&D game lovers will probably love it.
Of course id watch it again i was probably expecting more violence and less humour considering the actors in it.

Not perfect but fairy good film and regarding DnD screen adaptations and finally something that feels well fleshed out DnD story fairly well acted and CGI is realy good in opposition to previous adaptations. Nice to visit Faern again from bit diffrent perspective then books, tabletops or videogames which I had fair share in my life especially the latter one. I read somewhere that Ed Greenwood adds plot of the film to canon so something worth watching for DnD fan anyway.
Good film for watching with the kids, fun , tongue in cheek humour and far better than the old dungeon and dragons film. Slight nod to the cartoon too. Blink and you will miss i
It is funny and a good fantasy heist film that knows what it is and gives good background information to know about each character and their motivations without being too much for people who do not play the game. It keeps you engaged and has enough variety of both situations and creatures/monsters to always have something to entertain you. There is also a decent amount of practical effects to limit the amount of CGI used, which makes the film look better overall.
The DVD arrived on time and withou damage. A good price for a great film. Has an extra decorative sleeve over the main case
Overall this film was amazing, However, despite being rated 12 I would recommend parents deciding if there children may watch this film. especially if they are in their younger teens as some humour in DnD: Honour Among Thieves does contain profanity.
Some things I like about this film include:
* Interest – For the most part, I didn’t find myself becoming bored with the film at any time.
* Humour – I found a lot of the jokes in this film quite funny
* Portrayal of Dungeons and Dragons – This part is what I enjoyed most, for example I found it easy to tell that Doric was a tiefling druid.
* Plot – the plot was always very smooth and occasionally you could feel for the characters losses.
Some Things I disliked about this film include:
* Complicated Character names – I personally disliked finding it hard to remember character names throughout the film.
However, these are all just my opinion and you may have differing ones.
Shipping was on time and the package arrived in one peice with no damage.
I absolutely recommend this film for others!
I am a massive Dungeons and Dragons fan and have been for 11+ years. I would recommend, it was lovely to see dnd get the spotlight it deserves. Some truly funny bits.
There were a few problems with the film but they were minor.
If you love DND then give this a watch and see some of the beautiful creatures and places in HD live action.
It doesn’t, as per a panic in America back in the day, turn people into evil satanists.
There was a Dungeons and Dragons film once before. It wasn’t by all accounts very good, and nor did it have a very big budget. On the offchance you’ve seen that, don’t panic. Because this is a fresh take.
Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez play two friends. A bard and a warrior. Who start the film down on their luck and in prison. But then they’re out. On a quest for a lost relic. Of course there’s more to it than meets the eye, and that’s the start of the adventure.
This is glorious entertainment. It works. And it works perfectly.
Characterisation. It’s all solid. It doesn’t spend time doing backstories at the beginning. It fills those in as it goes along. The trailer did make it look as if this was just going to be humour but there’s as much serious character stuff and development as that. Any humour does come out naturally from the characters when required. It is an easy comparison to make to say it’s like the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, but it does have the same vibe.
Budget: many fantasy films of the past, most of which went straight to VHS, had limitless ambition and not much budget at all. Those are entertaining because they’re so cheap and tacky [Cave Dwellers for one such. In case anyone’s ever seen that]. This is not one such. This has a very good budget to do justice to it’s ambitions. And it also has pretty decent cgi as well.
Plot: it feels like a game of Dungeons and Dragons. Plans have to be made. Puzzles have to be solved. People have to improvise when things don’t work out as expected.
Villainy: Hugh Grant continues his later career renaissance as a superbly villainous villain character. That’s just one of them. The others carry real threat.
The game: it feels like the game. It’s clearly been made by those who love it. But it still works as a film even if you’ve never played it.
Franchise: this can be said without spoilers: it’s a stand alone film. The characters could return if required. But the story here is complete in one movie. It just sets up the world.
Homages: long term fans will see.
Perfect fantasy entertainment and a perfect recreation of the game. Makes for a great and entertaining film. Not for younger kids thanks to some violence and horror, that’s why it’s a twelve certificate.
There is one extra scene during the middle of the end credits. It doesn’t set anything up. But it’s totally worth seeing.
Languages and subtitles on the dvd:
Languages: English, French – Parisian, Italian, Spanish – Castilian. English audio descriptive.
Subtitles: English. Danish. Dutch. Finnish. French – Parisian. Italian. Norwegian. Spanish – Castilian. Swedish.
Extras:
Deleted scenes. Three of these. Two extended one deleted. You can watch individually or all in a row. The latter only takes just under four mins. The first one, even though extended, doesn’t feel important at all. The other two are quite good as character moments though.
Gag reel: six mins of outtakes. Some mildly amusing stuff but it does end up feeling overlong, and is just clips of people giggling at the end.
This is a great movie. It is full of action and has a good story line. You don’t need to be a D&D enthusiast to understand the movie, but obviously there is some D&D humour. My fianc is big into D&D, but I’m just a noob, I still understood what was going on in the movie. I recommend watching this movie if you like some brain in neutral action. Worth a watch!
Maybe everything was just too clean, to polished.
I feel the same way about a lot of films that use cgi so it’s probably a personal thing, they frankly lack atmosphere which this seems to also lack in places.
I generally like all the actors they chose, but big name actors sometimes detract from a film than add to it.
Still 4 stars just missing something to get it to 5.
They could put a new movie out every year with D&D’s endless source material. Don’t need big name actors or complex plots, just some action and fan service like this one offers and they have a lucrative cash cow to milk. I hope to see more D&D movies or even a show on some streaming service in the near future.
It’s like your typical quality action comedy. I laughed. There is a few D&D easter eggs. It’s not strictly adherent to FR lore , but it’s good.
Just watched this movie and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not being a Dungeons and Dragons player I wasn’t sure what to expect but the film was fun and entertaining. Lots of action but also a nice storyline and the characters worked well together and were well cast.
Family absolutely loves this
And I mean all different age groups!!
Like magic or the mystical, try this movie.
Yes hard-core d&d fans will most likely nitpick every little thing the movie people could have done differently, but yeah, good movie to me. And I’m not just saying that because I love any movie that has any one of these Stars in it…I’m not!
Read ya Late
Absolutely adore this movie, it’s both a great take on dnd and a very fun and wholesome time all-around! I desperately want a sequel so people please give it a chance.
I didnt know what to expect when I was hearing about this film. I purposely stayed away from reviews.
It blew all expectations away. Such a great movie. You really feel like your at the table and this is going on in your head. I wont spoil the film but to say two things.
One is to say you need to see this if you have been disappointed in fantasy movies in the past. it really raises the bar.
Second is the portal scene is unbelievable. totally sold the movie.
10/10 Best fantasy movie of the year.
Reminded me so much of my dungeon crawling days (Bard’s Tale, Wizardry, Ultima, etc.). They did a great job with creating this world! The D&D crowd will enjoy all of the various references and name drops. The actors and actresses all put in commendable performances. Loved the chubby dragon scene. Hope there are many more sequels to come.
This movie is fantastic, it has alot of comedy elements but balances them well with serious moments. There were alot of practical costumes for the various races which I think was way better than just using cgi. The main cast have great banter and chemistry amongst each other and as a dm and player there are moments that feel very much like things that might happen during a session. Die hard d&d might not like that they changed certain abilities like wildshaping but I think it’s fine they had to make it work as a movie so they made some adjustments and I think with how many people play homebrew it doesn’t really matter if they followed the written rules. I hope the blu ray/digital sales are strong enough they make a sequel because I would love to see them expand on this.
I waited a long time for this flick. Chris Pine shines as he shows his humorous and caring sides. Michelle Rodriguez is hysterical, full of dry wit as she kicks butt. It’s a great cast, with good action, a cool plot, & great acting. D&D fans will enjoy this on many levels, including surprise appearances from old classics we know & love. Even if you’ve never played D&D, this movie will have you smiling and laughing with abandon. Watch it now. You won’t regret it! DMs forever!
I never grew up on DnD so my first experience with it was the unspeakable 2000 movie. The trailers for this movie didn’t make me want to see it but, I was curious about the response so I came across a breakdown video on YouTube for the film and to my surprise discussion of game mechanic accuracy, respect/inclusion of lore, and other easter eggs, plus Rotten tomatoes and other game fan reviews encouraged me to officially see it. I’m soo glad I did, loved every second of it.
This was a good movie film that will create a variety of human emotions during the story. I like movie film and recommend other humans to watch movie film as they will like to. I not just say this to fit in amongst my fellow humans as movie film really emotional and good, making me glad to be here to watch with you all
The film was soooooo good and I’m looking forward to geting my hands on this hopeing it comes with the blue ray copy’s as other sites state it should.
This was a fantastic mix between a high budget fantasy film and an actual D&D campaign. The humour is great, the relationships between the characters feeling like they have been lifted right from a group of players.
Chris Pine shines, Michelle Rodriguez does what she does best, and the rest fall in around them like they’ve been doing this together for years.
Plenty of easter eggs for D&D fans in general, and Forgotten Realms afficionados in particular.
This Film finally gets what a D&D film needs to be – its side quests, too many have tried to just have it be outright ‘the worlds ending, you’re the chosen one’ – no its about the idiots who stumble from campaign to campaig
If you’re a player (like myself) then you’ll regularly be pointing at the screen and shouting “Hey! That’s…”, however, if you’re just a fan of fun, family-friendly movies with lots of well-choreographed action, great FX ,(a lot of them practical rather than all CGI), likeable characters with snappy dialogue and no real slow points to make you wish the film would just hurry up and get on with it, then I wholeheartedly recommend this movie.
And you really don’t need to be a player of D&D to enjoy this movie, it works perfectly well if you’ve never even picked up a D20.
Recommended.
