Review of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) by Compi24 — 02 Apr 2023

Charming, rousing, resonant and kick-ass, "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" finds co-directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein harnessing the elements that made their previous effort, "Game Night," such an unforeseen success (the surprisingly skilled action direction and storytelling) and elevating them to a blockbuster level.

Unlike other attempts to adapt not just board games, but any sort of source material, there really is a sense of respect and adoration for the game here, with special reverence towards the process of teamwork and problem-solving.

You gotta love a film that just makes you want to drop everything and engage with the thing it's based on. Especially when you've never even engaged with that subject matter before. This really is the first real winner of 2023 for me and a solid contender for movie of the year so far — no joke.
