Just watched Dungeon & Dragons:Honor Among Thieves.

Not bad.

The CGI seemed to be extremely well executed.

The "hither and thither" trick/spell was fun.

The many of the fighting scenes were amusing.

Og> Just watched Dungeon & Dragons:Honor Among Thieves.

Og> Not bad.

I really enjoyed it. Much better than the one that came out 20+ years ago. It was a lot of fun seeing the Forgotten Realms setting come to life on screen, and there's also a fun easter egg later in the movie for fans of the old Saturday morning cartoon.

and it was an expensive video game in the arcades.

I think I posted a review here about that movie.

It was quite ok as a fantasy heist movie. It didn't bank on the audience
knowing their way around the Forgotten Realms, and still it managed to make theheist planning look so much like an RPG team making plans around a gaming
table.

Woke factor was not bad, but it was present.

Hello Arelor!

A> I think I posted a review here about that movie.

I thought you did too, but it must have aged sufficiently from
my system and got deleted. I was hoping to be able to compare
it against what I saw.

Is your "review" one of these?

MID: 650214E9.17807.dove-ent@palantirbbs.ddns.net

Incidentally, your reviews are/have-been a lot of fun to read.
Maybe could post them somewhere where they can be revisited any
time.

A> and still it managed to make theheist planning look so much

I didn't think of it as people sitting around a table and
making plans. I just saw people on a journey who met
obstacles, consequences, and figured out solutions.

A> Woke factor was not bad, but it was present.

Do you mean the w-factor in the storyline? ..or in the casting?
I didn't notice any wokeness in the storyline.

The main cast of characters is more "diverse" than usual and the only clearly
straight white male is a loser. The film makers said it was a deliberate
decision, so there is a small woke factor, but you will only notice if you go
looking for it, which in this day and age is quite bearable.

I also miss making movie reviews, but I have not been watching much new stuff.
Life keeps getting in the way.

BTW, the reason this movie scored so high for me is because if you are a
knowledgeable RPG player, you will notice all the RPG winks, but they are
introduced in such a way that they don't interfere and stick out if you are a
regular Joe watching a movie.
