But another movie adaptation of the Dungeons and Dragons board game is hitting the screens, and it’s a good event!
On March 30, the screening of the new fantasy movie “Dungeons and Dragons. Honor Between Thieves” based on the popular board game “Dungeons and Dragons” begins in Ukraine. We have already visited the pre-gale show and are ready to be the first to tell about our impressions.
What is Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves about?
“Honor Among Thieves” stars Chris Pine as the professional oud singer and Michelle Rodriguez Ejina Darvis as Holga la Barber, the ax-wielding gang who was once part of a bandit gang that committed robberies with the magician Simon Omar (Justice Smith). .and the sly Forge Fletcher (Hugh Grant). The group is caught after Ejin accepts a particularly dangerous job in hopes of obtaining an artifact that will allow him to resurrect his deceased wife. After escaping from prison – in an undeniably hilarious scene involving one of Dungeons & Dragons’ bird people, aarakocra – Ejin and Holga must assemble a new team to steal the artifact again and regain Ejin’s daughter’s trust.
The plot of “Honor Among Thieves” is also somewhat banal and unconventional. The narrative paradigm is highly predictable, but certain plot twists are puzzling. The film is like a fast-paced excursion as the crew, joined by the sorceress Simon and rookie druid Dorik (Sophia Lillis), rush from place to place at an extremely fast pace. It’s good to see some of the fantasy RPG’s favorite places like Neverwinter and Underdark have been recreated in enough detail to be instantly recognizable to fans. This relentless speed makes Dungeons & Dragons adaptation more like a roller coaster. And everything will be fine, but the viewer has little time to get to know the main characters better.
Usually the movie is shot dynamically. The special effects are delightful and pleasantly impressive. Fans of fantasy will find the picture compelling and sometimes memorable. Caprtina looks phenomenal, especially after the blatant failure of The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, which deceived the expectations of fans of the genre so much.
The effect is added by a unique cast. Here you and Hugh Grant, always haunted by his captivating bastard image, Bradley Cooper as the “man with the fingernails”, dressed in gold-embroidered robes, and Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez, whose protagonist is funny and silly as mushrooms, male-female, able to fight a dozen strong men alone … An adventure walker in a deadly labyrinth for wizards, sorcerers, dragons, marvelous beasts, the walking dead and a snack that fully conveys the mechanics and atmosphere of the game. In short, the audience will experience an interesting two-hour adventure, where everyone will find something pleasant for themselves. It can be said responsibly: Finally, a worthy fantasy film appeared on the screens, which should not be missed!
Special attention deserves the main contender for the role of James Bond, and “Bridgerton” star Rege-Jean Page, who took on the role of the boring paladin Xenok, whose principles prevent all thieves from succeeding. request. But the hero saves kittens from the mouth of a huge fish (literally), which can melt any heart.
And besides, special attention deserves special attention to magician Simon (Justice Smith), who touches and laughs at the same time with his absurd attempts to go to the girl he loves.
