Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) is a movie my wife and I watched in theatres this evening. The storyline follows a father who is left to raise his new born daughter on his own after his wife is killed due to his mischievous ways. He meets an outcast, Holga, they become best friends, and they raise the baby together. When they set out on a mission to find a magic stone to bring the mother back to life, they are caught, imprisoned and the daughter is taken by a friend to raise her. The father and Holga will need to find a way out of jail, track down the daughter and restart their life...
This movie is codirected by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who worked together on Game Night, and stars Chris Pine (Wonder Woman), Michelle Rodriguez (The Fast and the Furious), Regé-Jean Page (Bridgerton), Hugh Grant (Four Wedding and a Funeral) and Daisy Head (Wrong Turn).
We loved this movie. This reminded me of Guardians of the Galaxy in a lot of ways. There is a lot going on in this movie - but I adored both the good guys and bad guys. The three villains in this are tremendous and Hugh Grant was perfectly cast for this role. His facial expressions and body langauge was hilarious. The same could be said about Chris Pine, who was perfect as the lead character. The action choreography is out of this world. Every fight scene is tremendous. The CGI used for the magic and creatures was excellent and they did a great job of creating the universe with various creatures and species throughout the movie. The storyline has more depth than you may expect and the final fight was a 10/10. There's even some great jump scares in here you don't see coming.
Overall, this is a tremendous addition to the fantasy genre that's an absolute must see. I would score this an 8/10 and strongly recommend (my wife gave it a 9/10).
