Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves honors the classic game by acknowledging its ridiculousness.
Dungeons & Dragons
as a kid. Wait — scratch that. When I was around 11 years old, I was invited to a friend’s house to playwith him and his buddies, but I was so confused I barely made it through an hour. That’s right: I was too stupid to playDungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves , the second attempt in the past 23 years to turn the popular fantasy role-playing game into a feature-film franchise. But this time, directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein seem willing to meet those of us who couldn’t care less about halfway.
Casting Chris Pine was certainly inspired, as he’s one of those leading men forever willing to poke fun at his very leading manness. Maybe it’s just his destiny with that designed-in-a-lab face and politician-perfect hair of his. Here he plays Edgin Darvis, a former member of the Harpers faction who used to defend all that was good and right but turned to thievery after losing his beloved wife.
Their quest involves tracking down Edgin’s former partner turned nemesis, Forge Fitzwilliam , a con man who has managed to finagle his way to power with the help of Sofina , a powerful Red Wizard who is hiding as … a Blue Wizard? Anyway, not only has Forge taken Edgin’s daughter, but he also took from him something called the Tablet of Reawakening, which has the power to bring back one person from the dead. Edgin naturally wants to use it to resurrect his dear, departed wife.
