As someone who has always been interested in D&D but hasn’t yet gotten the courage to find a party Honor Among Thieves was a great stand-in. It allowed me to experience D&D without actually playing the game! Which makes me want to play the actual game even more. There were so many things I loved about this movie. First and foremost are all the monsters, creatures, and non-humans. They all looked so fantastic and I absolutely loved being able to put my minuscule D&D knowledge to use trying to name everything. The only thing that comes second to the special effects was the comedy/acting itself. I had so much fun watching this movie which is all due to those two things.
I also have to say that this was a great adaptation of a game into movie form. Most other game adaptations have been hit-or-miss but Honor Among Thieves was very successful in my eyes. It had a majority of realistic fantasy with just a hint of wackiness that I’ve heard comes from D&D games, making it perfect. Honestly, I would love to see a sequel with even more characters added so I would give this movie an 8 out of 10.
