Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
Fans of the long-running game Dungeons & Dragons have certainly had to wait quite a while for a decent adaptation. Not surprising, seeing how the lore is more than expansive and there are so many options, rules and characters to contend with. The prospect always seemed rather daunting. Sure, there was the animated series in the 80s, but that had little to do with the game as such (still cool though). And then we had the "Jeremy Irons hams it up to the stratosphere" movie that was quite horrendous yet enjoyable with friends and copious amounts of alcohol. Suffise to say: D&D enthusiasts and lovers didn't get what they deserved. Until now, because this film is nothing short of a glorious ode to the game and as an adventure fantasy for the non-initiated it works just as well. No really: it is so enjoyable and fun, it is almost criminal. Criminally underrated? Probably. In a far-flung fantasy realm, we are introduced to our leads, Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez....
