Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

20250421:
I decided to watch this movie, which was second on "My List"; I wasn't feeling like watching the first on the list: Kraven the Hunter. Having watched the movie, I was surprised about how good it was. It had many exciting action scenes, a great story, and a healthy amount of jokes. There may have been a couple of cringe jokes, but most were well done. I've only ever participated in a Dungeons & Dragons session once back in high school. I don't think my lack of familiarity with the role playing game impacted my ability to enjoy the movie.

Rating: 5.0/5

oh nice I love Michelle Rodriguez. she has cool roles
oh, it's Hugh Grant ("you have my word")
hehe. "But we approved your pardon." how silly
hmm... how interseting
I would imagine... if the daughter were smart... that she would have used her necklace to be invisible and hang around to listen in
smile. She's fighting while he's trying to cut his binds
hehe can't even cut it wit the sword
"In Dungeons & Dragons, a tiefling is a humanoid race with fiendish ancestry, typically descended from demons or devils"
Hahaha "so we'll keep your share then". that's funny
He swatted at a fly. Could be the druid
Ah. the fly is
oh wow. Sofina knows. shit she's good.
The bird of prey is classic but I feel like a bat would be a more natural transition from a rat
hehe. a deer
wow. she's really well versed in choosing animals for the escape; and she showed wit with being a bird like the other birds; the whole sequence was well done
chuckle. just pay it with magic
hehe Bradley Cooper
oh she [Doric] has a tail
hahaha. of course they wasted their questions
haha. slipped
ha. "that was only the fourth question" (he's self-aware of the limit of questions
hahahaha. "Just because that sentence is symmetrical doesn't make it not nonsense." This is funny to me because I've made this observation that I've shared with some friends about the simplicity of making clever sounding statements simply by swapping around a few words, but that the result is typically nonsense. And of course the core of the observation is that many sayings exist following this pattern. Such that, one should question how true they really are. Cause believing what is false but sounds true is worse than believing what is true but sounds false.
smile. he says he's not taking his hand. but most likely he will take his hand at some point
hahahahahahaha. "well that's a little hurtful" (the intelligence devourer's basically walk by them without so much as stopping)
I'm not sure how such a bridge could survive. it just takes one person to try to cross it and it would have fallen
is this a basilisk?
Dead end? Just use the hither thither.
Probably there would only be so many charges though
hahahahahaha. Just walks straight and over the rock
As an aside, I think it's interesting she [Doric] didn't used her shapeshifting powers during the escape. She could have just turned into something that files
Ah she [Doric] uses her power again
I feel like despite this new plan, that the Harper [Edgin] (Chris Pine) would be the one to wear the helmet... Cause the Wizard's [Simon's] great-great grandfather said the magic chooses the wielder
hehe. I don't mind that.
interesting. the druid [Doric] knocked out, and all three now tentacled... I suppose now only if Kira saves them...
hehe his [Edgin's] charisma allowed them to be in the games
hehe. a mimic
wow. what a confident idea (turned into snake)
chuckle. "well shit"
hmm. not quite believable that they're actually able to keep up against her [Sofina]. She was made to seem too powerful. but maybe she is not as smart as them combined... but I really hope they have something up their sleeve than brute force
ah ok. great plan
he's gonna use the tablet to save Holga? I figured that would make sense. It's one thing to revive a person who's been dead a long time, but it's another to revive someone just as they're passing
ah ok. a second reason for saving Holga: she's effectively Kira's mom
it's surprising that in all time of the existence of that tablet no one has used it
hahaha. I was expecting him to take Jarnathan, but I didn't see the blocked window twist
hehe. It's interesting that he can't ask himself a question
