Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves

[Mogster]

It does look a bit predictable, and more than a little Guardians of the Galaxy, but it also looks rather fun!

I'm going to suggest the exact opposite approach, that they should just do something fun like Guardians of the Galaxy, but fantasy, as that would actually capture the feel of players at the table goofing around while telling an epic story far better than dumping ~realmslore~ on the screen and expecting audiences to care.

 

Nailed it by the looks of things. I'm tentatively on board.

New trailer. Maybe shows a lot of gags and stuff.

 

 

[Nathan Wind]

Looks dreadful. I’m in!

[MDY]

Well they got this bit pretty much accurate to playing the game..

 

[jonamok]

I’m honestly hopeful for this.

[Vespa Alex]

If it’s got the humour and references right like that clip, it’s a good sign. 

[Hamus]

I am concerned the best bits are in the trailer and maybe that bit above. Let's hope not!

 

Most recently the Black Panther trailer was absolutely spine tingling.

The actual movie was more like arthritis.

[Gambit]

Early reviews for this are very positive! Seems like a fun, fantasy adventure.

[squirtle]

The trailer for this was on with 65 today. I squealed when I saw an actual mimic from Dark Souls in there.

I saw this tonight at a Cineworld secret screening. It was very good fun.

Good news - if Mario is also good it’s going to be a great gaming Easter double bill.

[Sabreman]

That's encouraging. I've been optimistic about this since the latest trailer and the "Questions" clip - which is a well-worn joke but played perfectly. Seems committed to the tone it's going for, and that's probably the right move.

[Fireproofradiator]

I’m really excited about this. It’s the same people who did Game Night - if you haven’t seen that do yourself a favour.

[MDY]

Another fun clip.. this one is a little spoilery in terms of a fun cameo..

Preach. Game Night is a cracking film.

This is looking great and that cameo in the clip above is perfect.

LOL, it's the thing from the thing that was a thing in the 80s thing.

I was just thrilled to see the

gelatinous cube!

Reviews are in and looks like they’ve nailed it… cracking reviews across the board. Can’t wait to see it now.

[Mawdlin]

I hope it follows the AD&D 2nd Edition rule set.

[Commander Jameson]

When you do get to see it, I'm interested to see if anyone thought that...

Hugh Grant is channelling Boris Johnson both with his mannerisms which are similar anyway but also his politics.

 

[g wings]

For those that have seen it do you reckon it’s appropriate for young kids (9 and 11)?

[Bucky]

Going on Friday with the family!

[erhgiez]

Just saw this and it was fantastic. Very well paced, funny, good characters, clever. It feels like a d&d adventure along with the crazy desperate ideas players have to get out of difficult situations. A really solid movie.

I'm also keen to hear whether this is suitable for kids. Is it particularly scary, violent, gory, sweary, sexy, etc? I have no frame of reference for what's acceptable for a 12A these days. I'm keen to take my son, who's seven - that seems ridiculously young to take to a 12A and makes me suspect the film is probably not appropriate, but he loved Jurassic Park and has never shown any signs of being scared or upset by a film.

 

To be absolutely honest, it's me who wants to see it, but neither my partner nor any of my friends will see it, and I'm not going to go on my own.

[g wings]

@Kagree with just about everything you’ve written. Though having seen more clips I'm less worried about violence etc but I’m wondering if a lot of it will go over my kids’ heads and they will get bored.

[Commander Jameson]

I found this which didn't seem to puritanical a guide.

@Commander Jameson

 

Thanks! It sounds like it wouldn't be too scary or inappropriate for him. As with g wings, I'm still wondering if it might not be too boring/adult for him (it's two hours fifteen minutes long), so would be keen to hear from anyone who's seen it.

[Commander Jameson]

I found it very engaging with very little down time. There are plenty of set pieces to enjoy. Obviously I can't speak to a kid's mind. Even in the quiet periods, there are plenty of creatures and things going on.
