Review of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) by Gohanhitsugaya — 09 Apr 2023

...I was one of the ones that walked out. It was *way* too shallow, and it was all something you've seen a dozen times before; and the CGI, I suppose it was what *passes* for decent nowadays; to below average, so I guess a 4 or 5/10. But then, I really don't think CGI looks good through a projector. It always looks better through a monitor, which makes sense I suppose; that's where it's gonna spend most of it's life after all.

That being said, if you are gonna make something *that* shallow; then you *need* to at least make it funny. It wasn't. It *might* pull a small chuckle or 2 out of you. But that's not really worth the price of admission and hours of general boredom, aka time wasted.

Also, as a side note. It didn't help that in a theater that was mostly empty, a guy and I assume his date; just *had* to sit in their "assigned seats" which happened to be right next to me. I was in 5, they were 6 & 7. Literally told them I "stole" the seat I was in as a hint, (I like to be at the center of the screen) and the silence your phones thing was already playing; yet still they sat down.

They didn't say anything, so it just felt rude to just get up and go sit in the same seat but two rows down. And, the guys nose kept whistling because he refused to blow it. The bastard.

Anyway, as for the movie itself; based on what I've seen, I'd probably rate it around the same as the CGI. It's a 4 or 5/10. Average or below average, which; considering it's D&D, well it's rather... Appropriate; I suppose.

Oh, and the choreography for the fight scenes was kinda; well, see above.

*Spoilers, I guess; not really.*.

You've seen this plot point a thousand times, and I'm not giving many details; just wanted to say I almost lasted to the end, I think; forgot to check the time, but suffice it to say; I got up and walked out when the bad guy put his knife to the daughters throat.

And since I did walk out, I'm giving it a 5/10 I guess it could have gotten better or worse after I walked; but I kinda doubt it.

Oh, and the actors were fine; just, fine. They, worked with what they had.
