God this movies really GETS what playing Dungeons and dragons is like, right up to a player coming up with something cool that is arguably outside the rules of the game and the DM going "you know what, that's too cool, I'll allow it."
@@makaumulli8778 Probably true. The worst part is it was entirely due to Hasbro losing their minds and sparking a fan boycott rather than any problem with the film itself. :(
@@makaumulli8778 Short version, they tried to retroactively change the terms of their Open Game License (the thing that allows other people to make 3rd party campaigns and derivatives) in a very underhanded and dishonest way.
0:21 = One of my very favorite moments in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Amongst Thieves was the surprise appearance of the main characters of the cult classic D&D 1980s animated series. I completely geeked out big-time when I saw Hank, Sheila, Bobby, Presto, Diana & Eric all appearing together in the arena although it was lame that they changed Bobby from a kid to a dwarf for some odd reason. Dam do I really really wish that they would do a sequel. I want more of this. D&D: HATs was way better than I expected when I first went to see this at the theater.
The part i loved was explaining to the complaining people why the plot was the way it was. Instead of a dime a dozen adventure films. This one was a chance game. Every point was a literal representation of rolling the dice for the out come. Even destroying the bridge and abusing the resulting tool the dm used to keep the story going.
I would say the druid girl has a sword then it's gone once they are running. At least give it to holga kilgore(barbarian loves steamed potato) Also Doric is a tiefling right where's the red skin?
@@peshomighty5051 The tldr on it all is that Tieflings don't necessarily have to have red skin and some can have almost normal looking skin tones (see: BG3 for examples of the entire spectrum).
@@nomadhakunamatata5793 Not always, but they are famously depicted as such, along with having large horns on their head and long sharp ears. People often mistake or insult them for being devils or devilborn because of it. Doric just looks like a human being with a tail and barely noticeable horns that are mostly hidden in her hair. Does she have to have red skin? No, but something to recognize her as a tiefling would have been nice. It took many people quite a while before they realized she wasn't human.
@@thearcticfox343 It was released in cinemas at the end of March, and on streaming in May. That's a short window, but it's not "before it got to cinemas". And the theatrical window was presumably cut short becuase of the poor box office, not the other way around.
Another massive, massive problem was mere weeks before this film hit the cinema Grand Wizards of the Coast decided to try some shenanigans (tl;dr: anything made in the open ruleset they could use and sell and not pay creator royalties because 'we changed the terms of service, LOL') which utterly, completely, totally murdered the goodwill from their own community, ie the people they could have expected to go watch and/or word of mouth it. Pathfinder sold their entire stock for the *year* in less than *two weeks* because of it.
This was a good film. A shame it didn't do better at the box office. Chris pine carried the film a little too much, with Sophia Lillis right behind him.

We need a sequel.
Yess
Won't happen sadly. The film bombed at the box office.

@@dashsocur I don't follow... What did Hasbro do again?

this movie deserves a sequel, with the same actors but playing total diferent characters :V
I suggest them trying to escape the Underdark
also better written
@@castbet9183 I know they essentially had an op dmpc with them, but they made the under dark look pretty casual all things considered.
I didn't expect this movie to be as awesome as it actually is! 👌

Oh maybe they can do a movie of a new batch of adventurers and they are escaping from the Underdark?
Maybe they didn’t wanna put a kid in mortal danger in live-action 😂
@@castbet9183 They need to adapt next either The Legend of Drizzt or The Heroes of The Lance.
Doric carried the whole party

I wonder if they did a little of dice rolling to make the script?
@@FargonNemeloc its possible.
@@FargonNemeloc i know that after shooting each day, the cast got together and ran a dnd session using their characters
Saw it in theaters. Bought the blu-ray and the art book to further support the film. We need a sequal
This movie doesn't need a sequel, it needs another "one shot" with new heroes.
Quite possibly the best movie I had watched in person in 2023.
2:24 A GELATINOUS CUBE!
You KNOW that was Eric shouting "Hey! What's your idea?!" to the group as they ran off.
man this movie was so much fun. glad i got to see it in theaters
Best Momment Chris Pine 😂😂😂
Dungeons & Dragons: is a good movie
And this movie is even better
Who else thinks the Mimic was done really well?
1:20 The Mimic
Where’s Frieren?
This was a fun movie
DND is a great way to meet friends and partners
The Mimic scared tf outta me
Oh I miss this movie it was really funny and awesome 😋
Proof that druids love chilling as a snake.

Why did they have Bobby find an axe. Should have been a wooden club
Perhaps nobody got the reference
Campaigning for kobolds in the next film.
Hurry up and just greenlight a sequel already!
Awesome movie with rewatch value! 🍿🥤
Make a sequel!
Best movie in 2023
This was 2023? Oh no, I remember seeing it in a theater this year. I think.
Is that potrait of Volo?
When you and the party always roll 20
so she can pull entire people out the cube, but not her bracelet?
The bracelet was a magic damper, it prevented her from shapeshifting
Hollywood makes a good movie. Nobody goes to see it. Everyone complains how Hollywood is dead. Rinse and repeat.
poor marketing and they released it to streaming before it got to cinemas, not surprised it didnt do well
