Honest Trailers | Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves 

"The only one without any character development because she's too busy getting sh*t done" is the most d&d thing I've ever heard

They focused on the energy of a D&D game instead of the mechanics, and it was amazing

The paladin being an overpowered NPC plotrailing the party was the most realistic part of the movie

Him walking over the Boulder instead of around and them watching him to see what he did is the most NPC thing and makes total sense now. He is so NPC like that it is genuinely funny.

"If he's lawful good, why did he steal the movie?" Genius. So freaking true.

The staff of hither thither is absolutely something that the DM shoehorned in because the players messed up the puzzle, but in the moment he didn't consider the long-term consequences of handing them such an OP item, and the players proceeded to abuse the crap out of it for the rest of the campaign

I've always thought the "Red Wizards of Thay are going to take over Neverwinter" was the big plot stated at the beginning by the DM, but the players are like "yeah yeah yeah, now lets go rescue my daughter". So in the end they complete the quest they set out for, daughter rescued, on the boat, sailing away. Then the DM is like "Sky tentacles of death gonna turn everyone into zombies, remember that from an exposition 12 sessions ago?" Players look at each other "Fine, lets go stop the red wizards"

The Jarnathan joke will always make me chuckle. They literally get pardoned but somehow screw it up.

The whole movie felt like they watched a group playing D&D, then made a movie out of that. Which was exactly why I enjoyed it so much.

that owlbear smashing her into the ground at the end had me laughing in the theater not going to lie.

I loved the whole "let me stand here awkwardly while I narrate my entire tragic backstory on the spot" thing this movie did. 😂 It was so accurate.

"Featuring a team with so much plot armor, their fiercest foe spawns in with diabetes" KILLED ME. I am watching this in the office and I laughed and spilled coffee and I think my boss saw me lmao

It's surprisingly a good movie, and if they ever want to make a second movie they don't have to use the same characters, they can do a completely different story

The reason why I enjoyed it so much is that I had so many moments watching the movie where it was like. "Alright the DM gave them that cause they were stuck" "And you just rolled a fucking 1" "OOO CRIT" lmfao it felt like we were watching a group play a D&D campaign, kind of half expected the movie to end with just the actors in real life sitting around a table.

One line I see not a lot of people talk about is when simon said : "You can't solve everything with magic". Literally something I hear at every DnD game

Most amazing depiction of Speak With Dead ever. This is why my party makes a list, and checks it twice.

Idc what anyone says, that scene with Chris Pine singing to the guards and "malfunctioning" is the funniest scene, like, ever.

Even Doric has an arc. At the beginning, she despises humans. At the end, she kinda appreciates some of them.

I admired the puppet/animatronics used for the animal- people. They could’ve used cgi, but they went the extra mile.

I'm really sad it didn't do that well in box office. This movie deserves so much more and I think I can speak for the whole D&D community, we need a sequel.

"Someone needs to explain to me how success works in this industry" Me too, Honest Trailers. Me too.

Man I really hope we get a sequel, this was really a gem of a movie

This movie is so perfectly DnD in its spirit and story that I’m convinced the writing team literally just played DnD and wrote the movie that way

Too many funny moments to pick a favorite; but the Druid escape from the castle scene was the best action piece in recent memory.

Everytime the Druid was on screen, she was amazing and literally has the best action scene.

1:11 You *know* the movie's good when Screen Junkies actively and openly chooses to embrace its usage of the "magic sky beam" cliche. 😉⚡

There's a rumor its based on a real campaign someone on the team or actors was in. Even if its not true, at least someone on the team had played before and it showssssss. I really hope they make more

Jeremy Irons absolutely munching up the scenery like his life depended on it was the only redeeming thing about the old D&D movie in my opinion 😂

I do genuinely hope they make a sequel, this D&D movie was actually well done

I love the idea that this is an actual D&D session. Doric is total munchkin, Xenk is an NPC, Edgin is the guy who REALLY likes to RP

I love that Freaks And Geeks basically led to the creation of this movie (John Francis Daley's character played D&D in the show, which led to him falling in love with it IRL, eventually leading to him co--writing/directing this)

I loved this movie. My wife loved this movie. My 8 year old daughter loved this movie. That should tell you everything you need to know. Just a damn good time for no purpose other than to be just a damn good time.

I knew I would probably enjoy the movie when it came out. What I didn't expect was how funny it would actually be. The graveyard scene nearly killed me.

That scene with Chris Pine singing to distract the guards - I haven't laughed so hard at a movie for a long time. Now I have to watch it again so I can see what happened in the following couple of minutes...

The opening gag where they are waiting for someone before they can progress the plot was brilliant and I know almost nothing about DnD.

I'm so proud of myself. I just realized that the team that gets to the cage before the main characters of this movie are the characters from the animated series.

"If he's lawful good, why did he steal the movie?" lmaooooo accurate

Most fun movie of the year. It won't win any Oscars, but it won my heart.

I watched this movie expecting...well expecting another DnD movie. I came out the other side realizing they actually cared about the movie and the community. We need more of this for sure.

That scene in the carriage. So well done

SO funny they told people to Google "Bad Dragon" .. while at work, that may get some people noticed -- I laughed harder on that one alone than I should have 😁

I went in expecting nothing and came out with a new favourite movie. The fact that it was just fun (and wasn't trying to be GoT 2.0, take 72) earned it a special spot in the line-up.

I wish for the team, crews & staffs behind this movie all the success they can get, because they deserve it

Such an enjoyable movie, wasn't surprised to read that influences included Princess Bride and Monty Python. Really fun and funny, great characters and brilliant lines, and didn't feel like it was just copying something else, or following a formula, but did its own thing.

“Who’s clearly an NPC that the GM dropped in to help get those idiots unstuck and back on the main quest. ” Definitely very accurate. DND games always have someone doing dumb things.

Honestly thought I'd hate the paladin but man they did a really good job with him.

I was so pleasantly surprised by this movie. My nephew is really big into D&D so we went to the preview screening on his birthday! It worked out perfectly. We both loved it. I thought it had a great mix of humour, action, suspense, heart, and a good plot. It was a lot of fun. I saw it twice in theatres. I'm really glad they didn't go super serious like a Lord of the Rings movie and just kept it fun and light. The cast was great too. You rout for them. It's too bad it didn't do better in theatres cause it was really good!

I loved that the big dragon sequence in this movie was freaking THEMBERCHAUD...and they still made him dangerous... He's my favorite thing in the Out Of The Abyss campaign.

"Bad dragon! Google it while you're at work!" I actually laughed out loud.

The reason this movie works so well, where like Marvel doesn’t, is because (I’d say) it’s so authentic to an actual D&D game/campaign. The bathos comedy, it feels natural because it’s so authentic to an actual game/session of D&D

"the fiercest foe spawns in with diabetes" is just such a killer line

I'm glad they reshot this movie. The initial trailer made it look like a soul-less cash in where a random group of people need to save the world. They fortunately pulled things back and gave the movie the charm it really needed. It had comedy, heart, and was overall a good time.

I was surprised at how much heart and humor this movie had. At the end I had laughed, cried and was awed at some of the action scenes & scenery. Love it to bits.

I have never played D&D, but I saw this in theaters, and it was amazing. I absolutely loved it. One of the best movies of 2023, so far.

It is kind of an enigma nowadays isn't it. Just a good movie with a well thought out story and good humor

It truly represented a good D&D game, from the snarky characters, shallow plots, and silly cliched backstories. And damn if I didn't love it for that.

One thing I love about this movie is that you can name nearly every spell they used directly from the dnd spell lists. The ones I caught are (minor spoilers, unsurprisingly): Fog cloud, prestidigitation, mage hand, time stop, speak with dead, imprisonment, arcane hand, animate object, meteor swarm, magic missile, minor illusion, anti-magic field (via the helm), firebolt, finger of death, counterspell, armour of agathys (guessing that for the tea finger thing), true resurrection (tablet), green flame blade, holy weapon, I’m going to assume beckoning death was an empowered combination of cloudkill and raise dead, disguise self (may actually be alter self, hard to tell here), invisibility, possibly calm emotions, chain lightning, and misty step.

That thumbnail scene was the funniest scene! The whole theater was crying with laughter. It was the most awesome theater going experience in a long time. Such a good and fun movie!

Even Honest Trailers guy can't find hardly anything to rag on this movie for. It's just that damn good.

Humanity did this movie dirty. Should have been so much more successful.

It was so good! Its such a shame it didnt do better commercially

4:37 "Okay, someone needs to explain to me how success works in this industry!" - Studios with post-2020 theatrical releases in a nutshell.

5:20 "we're breaking down the stats of every race..." The most D&D sentence in the entire video, and it's about Fast and the Furious.

I love that Michelle just embraced her image. She's so good at it and it's perfect for a frigging barbarian.

So happy they brought up Game Night. Such a brilliant comedy film from the same team.

This movie was an unexpected treat! Need more movies like this!

What I think is one of the strongest arguments in favor of this film if you haven't seen it yet is the variety of answers you'll get if you ask people what their favorite scene or bit was. I haven't seen anyone else here mention the whole "Speak with Dead" sequence. Other answers include Edgin narrating his tragic backstory, the illusory Edgin glitching, Themberchonk, any of the action scenes, and more.

One of the many things that I loved about this movie was the occasions where you can really spot them making rolls for checks, saving throws and even when the players lose concentration. For example: - Doric makes a perception check to point Simon where to put the hither thither portal during a chase scene. - Edgin failing roll after roll of sleight of hand/strength checks to remove his restrains - Simon losing concentration of his major image of Edgin during the illusion distraction scene. - Simon making stealth/sleight of hand roll (not sure if he has arcane trickster) when using mage hand (I've forgotten what makes M.H. invisible) when stealing from people during his performance, using presdigitation to make the air smell of 'Fresh Cut Grass' And so, so much more.

happy the "wife under the sheet" trope was brought up. it's about time. D&D, The Grey, The Counselor. I know there's more

This is the first movie I’ve seen in a while where I actually want a sequel.

Bad Dragon is a great product. I love it when they FILL MY REQUESTS. they fill them deep.

This movie really embodies the spirit of a dnd group, and I mean that in both the best and worst aspects of such.

Having Honest Trailers complement this movie made my day. But they missed the golden opportunity to say, “The most unrealistic part was how one character disappeared for a bit without explanation or they stopped midway through and had to reschedule.”

I saw the movie with a friend I always play DnD with, and I genuinely didn't expect it to be this good. We had an absolute blast.

The cast is what really takes this movie to another level. Theyll spare no expense on the sequel based on this films success. Cast should be returning for several years and future stories.

A great honest trailer! - This film was fabulous, it had the heart and soul of D&D and at the end you felt like you had just come away from a fun and entertaining D&D session - praise indeed!

I loved it so much, I just hope they make a sequel

That obese dragon sliding and rolling around was hilarious 😂

This movie felt like one of those leggendary DnD greentexts. Loved it.

"Death by snu snu" was spot on! I laughed so hard!

I can easily see this film becoming a cult classic. Aside fron being great in its own right, It didn’t have any cliffhangers or sequel setups, which was very refreshing. There's no other movie quite like it, and considering it flopped, there won't ever be for a long time.

This movie is action-packed, funny, and wholesome. Great CGI, too. I wish it was a tv series, because I need more, alot more. Hopefully more d&d movies in the future, or at least a sequel.

the bit about themberchaud (god im such a geek for being able to spell that correctly first try from memory) having diabetes killed me

I loved this movie! I’m so sad it didn’t do that well in theatres. It was very well done, funny, and a fun watch

By the time Diana, Eric, Sheyla, Presto, Hank & Bobby appeared I shrieked like a banshee. When I saw their names in the credits I began to cry. Somehow somewhere they deserved it. Just by remembering how I felt im crying again. Whomever involved into making it happen has my hearth. Thank you, thank you, thank you galore!!!

It's crazy how this wasn't terrible. The trailer made it out to be, but I was dead wrong. Had a great time and already want more.

When you talked about the chunky dragon at 3:10 I choked on the cracker I was eating, laughing so hard. This was definitely the high point of my movie theater experience in 2023. With all the crisis going on and pathos projected, simple fun was way, way under appreciated and desperately needed.

"Thats why you always need a Paladin, but they just let theirs walk away" I KNOW RIGHT?!

It’s been awhile since we had a movie based on a board or video game that was actually GOOD. Absolute gem of a movie!

That Animorphs reference was so sudden…but so good. Someone on the writers team is clearly a fellow fan!

Actually loved it and the massive easter egg with bobby, hank and co trapped in the labyrinth.. loved it.

"So much plot armor their fiercest foe spawns in with Diabetes" 😂😂😂 I was not prepared to laugh this hard.

Watched this yesterday. I was so surprised by how good it is! Specially the action sequences. The part where the Druid gets chased around by the palace guards was a single take. Mostly CGI, but still!

Went to watch this opening weekend to a rather surprisingly full theatre and believe me when I tell you there was barely a quiet moment throughout the entirety of the film's run time!! 🤣🤣🤣 And I was surprised to see it so full because in my country, Hollywood pretty much means either superhero films and/or fast-paced action films. Everyone of them had shown up for "That Chris Pine film with dragons" lol.

“Bad Dragon, google it while you’re at work!” If you know what he’s talking about, it’s too late

'And a Bad Dragon - google it while you're at work!' Absolutely killed me

I had immense fun watching this movie. So sad that this well thought out entertainment piece was a loss according to wiki (cost does not add in marketing costs). We need more movies like these that are total fun, hollywood :3

The scene of the illusion failing had me rolling. This movie is really funny

I felt that bad dragon joke deep inside.

When the epic voice asked "someone tell me how success works in this industry" it was the perfect moment to have a cameo from Dan Murrell, since he actually explained in a video why it wasn't a success
