Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves
SCORE: 71
I was excited and interested to see Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among
Thieves. I saw the trailers, and heard from others that they liked the
film. Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves is a bit different than I
was expecting. There are some cool elements and some lame elements
within Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves. I will get into those in
just a minute. There will be spoilers in this review.
The issues families will have with Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among
Thieves are violence, blood, bad language, theft, magic, and more. There
are humorous elements within Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves.
There are references to well known D&D locales like Baldur's Gate in
Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves. There are plenty of chase scenes
in Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves. The one with that really fat
dragon was interesting.
A bard and a barbarian are in jail in Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among
Thieves. They get to the point where they are up for parole. An eagleman
comes in and they use him to escape. The rub here is they were going to
be paroled so they had no need to escape. The bard is Edgin Darvis -
played by Chris Pine. The barbarian is Holga Kilgore - played by
Michelle Rodriguez.
We learn throughout the movie that Edgin Darvis had once been a Harper.
The Harpers are a peace keeper force. Edgin steals some gold from a Red
Wizard because he was tired of being so poor. That gold was magically
protected so the Red Wizard could follow it back to his house. His wife
is killed and Edgin has a baby to raise. Holga Kilgore meets Edgin as he
is at rock bottom.
Holga and Edgin become thieves that do not hurt others. They take a job
for another Red Wizard and they get trapped and caught. This leaves
Edgin's daughter alone with no family. Why did he take the job? For a
tablet that could bring his wife back to life. Edgin does eventually get
the tablet and after all this effort to bring his wife back he decides
to bring back Holga who died near the end of the movie.
There are plenty of interesting magical objects found in Holga Kilgore.
I love the one that lets someone create two portals to traverse across
distances up to a quarter of a mile. The main part of Holga Kilgore is a
heist where they are trying to steal from one of their previous
companions Forge - played by Hugh Grant. By the way Forge is a piece of
work with his lying and scheming. In the process the group winds up
stopping a plot of the Red Wizards. I would love for Shadowrun to get
the same treatment this movie did.
