    Wow this looks terrible.

    I hope there’s still some fun to be had laughing at how atrocious it is.

    I maintain that Conan the Barbarian is still the best DnD film so far.

  • Monkeyspazum

    I have never played D&D and don’t really know anything about it other than the 80s cartoon series. I would watch this at home but wouldn’t pay to see it at the pictures.

    >Let’s get this party started.

    >A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves brings the rich world and playful spirit of the legendary roleplaying game to the big screen in a hilarious and action-packed adventure.

    I’ve had so many interactions in my DnD game that are basically right from the trailer. I’m hopefully optimistic

    Patiently waiting for a 1.0 OGL joke to be made in this film to continue the tradition of Hasbro’s lack of self awareness

    In case anyone is unaware, there’s a lot of controversy around Dungeons and Dragons right now, with some players calling for a boycott of the film to spite Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast. WOTC makes D&D alongside other popular games such as Magic: The Gathering.

    A couple of weeks ago, the community was made aware that Hasbro attempted to revoke the Open Gaming License, which allows people to write and publish third-party supporting content like adventures, magic items, and tools for virtual tabletop software. The idea was to replace it with more draconian legislation (referred to as “OGL 1.1”) that would force people to submit this content to Hasbro, at which point they could claim royalties on it and use this third-party content as they saw fit. People make their living off this stuff. There was also a clause that they could change the whole agreement with 30 days’ notice.

    Other (unsubstantiated) leaks followed regarding community monetization and rumored price hikes for the D&D Beyond digital subscription service. WOTC released a really unsatisfactory pseudo-capitulatory statement in response to the OGL 1.1 drama, and the community has been in revolt ever since. A dedicated community of gamers built up over a decade was annihilated in a couple of weeks, and plenty of die-hard D&D players are pivoting over to other, similar games.

    Hasbro has been on full damage control ever since. It’s unlikely any of this will actually affect the movie’s profits in a meaningful way, as it’s probably aimed at those who didn’t know black dragons breathe acid instead of fire. But still, it’s good to have some context around some of the inevitable discussions here, and to quote another Hasbro product, knowing is half the battle.

    This will bomb but I think it’ll actually be a decent movie.

    Anyone else feel like Chris Pine doesn’t care to be there though?

  • MissingLink101

    Still think this looks like fun but why have they got Justice Smith doing that distracting accent?

    Pine and Rodriguez and doing their normal accents and they should have just cast someone English if they were insistent on it.

  • JJuanfirst

    From this trailer, it looks to me like this is a spoof of D&D making fun of the people that actually play it by making it one big joke.

  • MonitorMundane2683

    Eh, I guess. I’m not a big fan of the tryhard humor, but maybe it just comes off like that in the trailer. I’ll give it a watch, maybe it’s good, or at least decent.

  • imconsideringdascrod

    I appreciate Pine’s charisma, I appreciate the shit they get up to in the trailer, Hugh Grant is cool to see. The way they’re talking and acting in the trailer might not hit me right if I played the game itself, but I’ve read/heard so many stories of people goofing off during D&D sessions that it just looks like the head canon of someone chillin with their friends. Seems like a “turn your brain off” kind of fun movie, hopefully it’s the good kind.

  • BravoEchoEchoRomeo

    Might be cool, but they reused a concept from the first movie that was some of the lamest shit I’ve ever seen- dungeon running as an arena spectator sport.

  • DashCat9

    This looks fun as shit, and the Forgotten Realms nerd in me giggled a bit at the Red Wizards being (apparently) the big bads.

  • PugnaciousPangolin

    Well, the production design, effects, choreography, action and humor look fun. I just hope that they don’t try so hard to be so funny all the time that they forget to present interesting characters that I’ll care about even when they aren’t dropping quips, swinging swords and running from dragons.

  • dagreenman18

    I’m down as long as they keep up the chaotic vibe. It’s not a real campaign unless something stupid and funny happens.

  • JimJimmyJimJimJimJim

    I foresee many “deserves a sequel” Reddit threads, despite an underwhelming box office. Vote with your wallet folks.

    See also; The Man From U.N.C.L.E., TinTin, Dredd, Master & Commander, Hellboy 3, John Carter & Constantine.

  • fractionesque

    Looks fun and I enjoy most of the characters as they’re currently presented. Loving how the paladin and barbarian look to be perfectly emblematic of their archetypes. Not liking the mage though, his lines and delivery really annoy me somehow, the dialogue just feels tonally out place. Maybe it’s just Justice Smith, because I didn’t like his character in Detective Pikachu either. Which, to be fair, wasn’t a great movie to begin with.

  • itayfeder

    Actually, this looks super fun. I play a bunch of D&D, and the dialogue sounds exactly like some exchanges I had with other players. The action also seems really fun, and I love all of the use of different spells, magic items and creatures.

  • bluebirdgm

    This is by Hasbro’s newly acquired TV/Film production arm eOne, so my takeaway from this is that eOne may be able to pull off a light, fun Power Rangers movie.

    Where’s the part where they benevolently refuse to take the townspeople’s gold, but come back and raid the place 20 years later?
