The 1970s fantasy game, Dungeons and Dragons has a new film.

The film follows a charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers who embark on an epic quest to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.

If you haven’t seen much about this film but are wanting to go see it, don’t watch the trailer as I feel it shows most of the films best bits.

The cast is recognisable with Chris Pine (Wonder Women, Star Trek) as bard Edgin Darvis, Michelle Rodriguez (Fast and Furious franchise, Lost) as Holga Kilgore, Chloe Coleman (Gunpowder Milkshake, Marry Me) as Kira Darvis, Regé-Jean Page (Bridgerton) as Xenk Yendar, Justice Smith (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) as Simon Aumar and Sophia Lillis (It (2017), It: Chapter 2 (2019)) as Doric.

This film definitely reminds me of the Lord of the Rings, one part in particular reminds me of the scenes in the mines of Moria.

The film has two very different bad guys, Hugh Grant plays Forge Fitzwilliam, a greedy human who has Edgin Darvis daughter, Kira Darvis.

Then there are the red wizards, Daisy Head as Sofina and Jason Wong as Dralas, who are very creepy and mysterious.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves is super cheesy but if you can look past that it is a fun fantasy film, just try not to think about it too much.

My Rating: 7/10
