This came as a relief to me, since what I know about Dungeons &amp; Dragons you could put on the head of a\u2026well, I know so little that I can\u2019t even come up with a proper D&amp;D reference with which to spin that clich\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The filmmakers were being honest. \u201cHonor Among Thieves\u201d is built on the edifice of D&amp;D lore, packed with totems and characters and Easter eggs that fans of the legendary role-playing game will drink in with a connoisseur\u2019s delight. But for those, like me, who have spent their lives avoiding anything to do with Dungeons &amp; Dragons, the film is eminently comprehensible and, in its you\u2019ve-seen-it-before-but-not-quite-this-way fashion, a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The game, which has been around for 49 years, was ahead of its time in how it anticipated our collective immersion in mystic adventure fantasy and the intensity of role-playing that went along with it. In the \u201970s, D&amp;D was like Comic-Con as a table game \u2014 an abstract geek-brainiac\u2019s version of cosplay. The film turns the table, presenting itself as an homage to all the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> that, in hindsight, can be seen as a gleam in the eye of Dungeons &amp; Dragons; it also taps into the fantasy worlds that the game itself drew upon. \u201cHonor Among Thieves\u201d is like a mash-up of \u201cThe Lord of the Rings,\u201d \u201cThe Princess Bride,\u201d \u201cStar Wars,\u201d \u201cNational Treasure,\u201d a medieval \u201cX-Men\u201d\u2026and \u201cGladiator\u201d! It\u2019s at once cheesy and charming, synthetic and spectacular, cozily derivative and rambunctiously inventive, a processed piece of junk-culture joy that, by the end, may bring a tear to your eye.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It\u2019s set in some blockbuster FX version of the Middle Ages, but Chris Pine, acting with the anachronistic contempo Bogart-meets-Don-Johnson-as-grizzled-yuppie charisma that made him so perfect as Capt. James T. Kirk, grounds the film in something loose and aggro. He plays Edgin Darvis, a fallen member of the Harpers \u2014 think of them as secret knights \u2014 who\u2019s a thief, a liar, and a rogue, but one with a valiant heart. Edgin\u2019s wife was murdered, leaving him to raise their young daughter, Kira (Chloe Coleman), which he has done with the help of his comrade, Holga, a tattooed barbarian played by Michelle Rodriguez with a gruff companionable street-tough sinew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Kira, however, has come under the spell of Forge Fitzwilliam (Hugh Grant, chewing voraciously on every line), a scoundrel who rules over a walled city, and has convinced Kira that he can be a better dad to her than her own duplicitous father. Edgin wants to put his family back together, and if he can lay his hands on the Tablet of Reawakening, he\u2019ll have the ability to bring his wife back to life and restore all that was lost. But the Tablet is locked up in a vault in the city, and he needs to find the Helmet of Disjunction \u2014 which can stop time \u2014 to do it. Are you with me?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cHonor Among Thieves\u201d keeps introducing rules and gambits that interlock with pleasing logic but, as often as not, turn out to be MacGuffins. Yet they do their job \u2014 they seduce us, for a few scenes, into seeming as if they matter, at which point the film is only too happy to move on. Daley and Goldstein work with a precision that satisfies our inner megaplex classicist, yet it\u2019s part of the film\u2019s design that it never stops throwing things at us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    As Edgin forms a fellowship with such winningly offbeat characters as the insecure sorcerer Simon (Justice Smith) and the shape-shifting druid Doric (Sophia Lillis), \u201cHonor Among Thieves\u201d becomes a gallivanting magic-trick action movie with a dragon so pudgy the characters make a joke of it, an undead cult of Red Wizards who rule their minions with billows of crimson smoke like something out of \u201cThe Wizard of Oz,\u201d and a scene of crowd-pleasing macabre cheekiness in which old grey skeletal corpses are raised from the dead so they can be asked five questions, at which point they collapse back into oblivion. The dialogue in a scene like this one has a precocious snap. The script is by Daley, Goldstein, and Michael Gilio, who invest each encounter \u2014 even if it\u2019s with a corpse \u2014 with a charge of ego.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    That said, there\u2019s enough snark and visual\u00a0zap on display that we may feel like we\u2019re gorging on candy corn, and that we\u2019re hungry for something a little more soulful. It arrives, in the person of Reg\u00e9-Jean Page, who shows up as Yendar, who is noble in such an old-fashioned stoic corn-dog way (he can\u2019t process irony, let alone a phrase like \u201cson-of-a-bitch\u201d) that he lends the movie the note of romantic valor we want. Page acts with a dark-liquid-eyed savoir faire that\u2019s delectable, and for a while he and Pine become an ace comedy team: Yendar the man too suavely heroic to crack a joke, Edgin the one who makes a joke out of everything, including Yendar\u2019s nobility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It\u2019s Yendar who leads them to the towering stone catacomb where the Helmet of Disjunction is to be found. There\u2019s a terrific sequence in which he recites the elaborate rules for how to walk over a stone bridge, which go out the window the moment Simon takes a wrong step. But then Simon \u2014 this is exactly how the movie rolls \u2014 just happens to pull out a magic walking stick that creates a portal you can slip through 500 feet away. Cool!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    There\u2019s an intricacy to the staging of \u201cHonor Among Thieves\u201d that helps balance out the roller-coaster derivativeness of the plot. We go with it, even as we know we\u2019re gorging on a succulent overdose of fantasy dessert. The gladiatorial battle inside a maze at the climax is sensationally well done, from the panther with Venus-flytrap tentacles to the treasure boxes along the way to the giant cubes of Jell-O that help save the day. The monster at the end? To me that was one demon too many. But no matter. \u201cDungeons &amp; Dragons: Honor Among Thieves\u201d should be a major hit, because it knows how to tap into our nostalgia \u2014 not just for a game, but for the entire fantasy culture it helped to spawn. It\u2019s the movie itself that\u2019s role-playing.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
