#13: DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOUR AMONG THIEVES

 


Starring Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Rege-jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis and Hugh Grant. Written by Jonathan Goldstein, John Francis Daley and Michael Gilio. Directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley. Budget $150 million. Running time 134 minutes.

You don't need to have played the game to enjoy this film. It's inoffensive, amusing and despite featuring a spinning sky vortex (its first film outside the DCU) has a satisfying action packed ending. Plus it's got a great turn by Hugh Grant and Chris Pine and the supporting cast, lead by Michelle Rodriguez are all entertaining.

Not much to say about this to be honest, it didn't fill me with loathing, I didn't feel my bile rising and whilst it was on I was entertained, so that's more than enough.  Plus the actual villain is rather good. Delightful not to sit through a superhero movie. The plot sees a band of adventures do battle with a baddy, have an encounter with a dragon and also enter a dungeon, so the title then.

And that's it, I'm afraid.

7/10
