They broke the curse of the D&D movies. This one will apeal to gamers and non gamers.

Full on fun fantasy adventure. It brings all of the elements of D&D to the screen and not in a way that will make people who have never played the game feel like they are missing out. But for any of you that have played it will feel like a story put together by a great D&D Master. And Hugh Grant is amazing as the slimy guy as he always nails it whenever he is in a movie.

Only downside is it's a little fast paced but it is necessary to have a full story in an epic world like DnD. A lot of nods and references, and amazing visuals. A lot more humor than I expected, and an awesome and diverse feeling cast that all brings their own style to the story.

Absolutely great for gamers and non-gamers alike! So much in the movie for the D&D players to relate to and enjoy, but not overwhelming for those that don't play. Loved it!

This is the best live-action D&D movie ever! It's clearly made by people who understand the game and the hijinks that can ensue when things go off the rails, unlike the 2000 movie or its direct-to-video sequels... Plenty of Easter Eggs for fans of D&D and the Forgotten Realms campaign setting especially. Even if you're not a D&D fan, I'd still recommend it for people wanting to watch a fantasy movie that doesn't take itself too seriously.

There were lots of nods to DnD lore. Parts of it felt like a campaign being played out. The dragon was the single best part of it. I hope it gets a sequel. I'd like to see what additional trouble this band of merry misfits can get into.

Absolutely LOVED this movie!! I already am planning to see it when it premieres. Thank you to Amazon for letting me see it early, and to everyone for such a fantastic movie that not only was stunning from the cast to the visual effects, but the mere fact it was PACKED with Easter eggs that were true to the Dungeons and Drangons Game. From the Original, Mazes and Monsters, to the latest edition.

Such a fun time at the movies. As someone who knows little to nothing about the D&D lore, I was so impressed with the level of creativity that went into designing this world, these characters, these creatures and these mcguffins. Not to mention it’s genuinely really funny.

I expected it to be a good movie. I love Chris Pine. He brings his own goofy charm to his movies. I will see it again and buy the DVD. It's nice for it to be placed in Faerun. It excited the fan-boy in me. Anyway I loved it.

a surprise to be sure but a welcome one! A fun sword and sorcery adventure even if you know nothing about DnD. Even more enjoying for those who know and like DnD. Nice to see Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez in a good role. they can make another anthology movie in this universe, and I'll go out n see it!

Metacritic

The film’s set pieces are built around comedy, with bits of (cleverly choreographed and directed) action and suspense to add some urgency, not the other way around.

Co-directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, working from a script they penned with Michael Gilio, have struck the right balance between high-stakes action, warm drama and clever comedy in a consistently engaging, mostly family-friendly romp that features some of the most spot-on casting of any film so far this year.

Honour Among Thieves could have tidied away its plot more economically, but the leisurely pacing does allow us to connect with the surprisingly fleshy characters. It is no mean feat to make something so funny from such unpromising material. It is more impressive still to end on a genuinely moving note. A welcome surprise.
