Xbox live sea of thieves pc7/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Set in a world filled with sorcerers, shapeshifters, and dragons, Honor Among Thieves follows Edgin, a thief who escapes from prison with his fellow thief Holga. The camera work is stupendous, the visuals are arresting, the screenplay is fast-paced and funny, and the entire movie is jam-packed with energy. ![]() Both behind the camera and in front of it, you can feel every single person involved in the creative process of this movie having the time of their lives. However, the most important reason why Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves succeeds is simply that it is a lot - and I mean a lot - of fun. With the amount of great high fantasy books out there, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’ll very soon be seeing announcements for adaptations of books by Scott Lynch or Brandon Sanderson. ![]() This might be the film to finally get Hollywood out of its nostalgia rut, or at least kick-start the process. What’s even better is that it’s a high fantasy property that gets high fantasy right, and with how rare those are, this movie isn’t just a breath of fresh air, it’s a genuine lifesaver. Still, with no connections to the previous Dungeons & Dragons films, this film is a new property at least cinematically, and it truly is a breath of fresh air. You don’t need me to tell you how obsessed Hollywood has become with pre-existing IP - and yes, this film is based on probably the most popular tabletop role-playing game of all time, so it’s not entirely original. The film introduced me to a whole new cinematic world - one somewhat similar to those of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, sure, but still a world you can’t mistake for any world else other than its own. I can’t remember the last time a theatrical film took my breath away the same way Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves did.
