When the review embargo lifted, Paramount and eOne's Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with a perfect 100% score, which it retained for quite a while. It's now dropped - but only slightly!
The review aggregator has announced that the fantasy adaptation is now officially "certified fresh" at 90%.
The critics consensus reads: "An infectiously good-spirited comedy with a solid emotional core, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves offers fun fantasy and adventure even if you don't know your HP from your OP."
"A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people," reads the official synopsis. "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves brings the rich world and playful spirit of the legendary roleplaying game to the big screen in a hilarious and action-packed adventure."
Game Night directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley helmed the project, and wrote the latest version of the script based on a previous draft by Michael Gilio. Derek Kolstad (John Wick; The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) has also been hired to write and develop a separate live-action Dungeons & Dragons television show, which was recently given a straight-to-series order for Paramount+.
Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves arrives in theaters March 31, 2023.
