by

Approximately a decade ago, the entertaining film “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” first graced the big screen. Although it didn’t quite meet box office expectations, it has garnered an impressive audience rating of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, with its critic score close behind at 91%. The movie offers a fantastic blend of fun for casual viewers and intricate Dungeons & Dragons references for dedicated gamers, making it a real pleasure to watch. Unfortunately, those who wanted to rewatch the film or those who missed it in theaters had limited options until now. Finally, “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” is now streaming on Netflix.

Beginning today, February 26th, the live-action version of Dungeons & Dragons hits Netflix screens in the U.S., making it more accessible to a broader audience since it was previously only available for streaming on Paramount Plus. Since Netflix is one of the most popular streaming platforms, many more fans can now enjoy this movie. Here’s hoping that both new viewers and those looking to rewatch it will appreciate the film after catching it in theaters.

Despite Chris Pine’s enthusiasm for a follow-up movie, it remains uncertain if the project will materialize due to the financial success of the initial film at the box office. However, if the film performs well on wider streaming platforms, it could strengthen the argument for reuniting the cast.

What is Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves About?

For those who haven’t caught up yet, let me quickly remind you about the exciting elements in the upcoming film, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. The cast includes Chris Pine portraying a charismatic Bard, Michelle Rodriguez as a powerful Barbarian, Justice Smith as our skillful Sorcerer, and Sophia Lillis playing a Druid who occasionally bends the rules with her wild transformations. This quartet forms our primary group of adventurers, while the film also boasts standout supporting roles by Rege-Jean Page from Bridgerton and Hugh Grant.

The main storyline of the film revolves around Chris Pine’s character, Edgin, who due to his wrongdoings, ends up in prison along with his partner Holga (Michelle Rodriguez). Upon breaking free from their confinement, they discover that their former associate now holds power and has no intention of letting Edgin obtain the valuable item he had put everything on the line for. This sets off a traditional adventure similar to “Dungeons & Dragons” as Edgin and Holga gather a group to accomplish their objective, only to find themselves caught up in a larger conflict than they had initially expected.

The film is an old-school adventure with a comedic flair, packed with jokes that will entertain everyone from casual viewers to die-hard fans, while also delving into the intricate details of Dungeons & Dragons lore. Some people liken its humor to that found in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It runs for approximately 2 hours and 14 minutes, which is a brisk, enjoyable length compared to many other fantasy films.

It’s no wonder that Netflix is set to release a significant adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons, considering their recent announcement of a live-action series derived from this popular property. So far, not much information about the upcoming Netflix series has been disclosed, but here’s hoping it will draw inspiration from what makes the film successful.
