Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

Movie Review

By NishapthanPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

In the frigid Icewind Dale, charismatic bard Edgin and his barbarian friend, Holga, find themselves imprisoned due to a failed heist planned by them and a con man named Forge. They were hired by a mysterious woman named Sofina to steal an item from a heavily guarded vault. Among the items, there was a Tablet of Reawakening that could revive Edgin's deceased wife, which made the heist a personal matter for him.

Unfortunately, the vault was booby-trapped, resulting in the escape of Forge and Sofina with their bounties, while Edgin and Holga were captured. After several years, Edgin is determined to escape to return to his daughter, Kira. When they finally escape, they reunite with Forge, who has become lord of the grand city of Neverwinter, keeping the Tablet behind a magically protected vault and raising Kira as his protégé.

Edgin's new plan is to form a team to rescue Kira and the Tablet. After reuniting with Kira, Edgin tries to apologize for not being there for her, but she is understandably angry and feels betrayed. Eventually, Kira forgives Edgin and reunites with Holga, who had been like a mother to her. Together, they form a party of thieves looking to score a hit against Forge, but when a real evil emerges, they band together to stop it from hurting innocent lives.

The Dungeons and Dragons 2023 movie features Chris Pine as Edgin, Michelle Rodriguez as Holga, and a cast of other talented actors. Directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the movie is distributed by Paramount Pictures.

In this action-packed Dungeons and Dragons 2023 movie, viewers are taken on a thrilling journey through the frigid Icewind Dale as they follow the story of Edgin, Holga, Forge, and Sofina. The charismatic bard and his barbarian friend find themselves in a prison due to a failed heist, but they soon escape and reunite with Forge, who has become the lord of the grand city of Neverwinter.

However, Forge has not only taken control of the city but also of Kira, Edgin's daughter, and the Tablet of Reawakening, which has the power to bring back Edgin's deceased wife. Edgin and his team of thieves must pull off one final heist to break Kira and the Tablet out of Forge's clutches.

Throughout the movie, viewers are introduced to a diverse and talented cast of characters, including Simon, Doric, Xenk, Gorg, Tobias, Zia, Chancellor Anderton, Chancellor Norixius, Baroness Torbo, Chancellor Jarnathan, and Szass Tam.

The dynamic between Edgin and Kira is a significant part of the plot. When Edgin returns, he finds that Kira is not too excited to see him, and she quickly learns that Forge has been lying about her father. Edgin also shoulders some of the blame, as he never told Kira about the heist, fearing that he would get her hopes up about seeing her mother again.

The heart of the movie lies in Edgin's desire to be a better father to Kira. He takes her criticism to heart and apologizes for his mistakes, leading to a heartfelt moment between father and daughter.

The movie's overarching theme is perseverance, as Edgin reminds the party that they can't give up just because they fail. He understands that his plans don't always work out, but he keeps trying, and that's what makes him a true hero.

The act of exhuming corpses is a disturbing reality that some individuals engage in. Edgin, a prisoner, describes the unpleasant conditions of his cell, referring to a bucket as the receptacle where urine freezes. Edgin has been known to steal both jewelry and horses, and to make matters worse, his daughter has aided him in a couple of these heists. In a separate incident, Forge has deceived Kira, an act that could cause potential harm to their relationship.

The use of profanity is prevalent in this content with the s-word being mentioned five times. We also come across six instances of the word "d–n" and four uses of "b–tard." Additionally, the words "b–ch" and "pr-ck" are used twice, and there are isolated uses of "h—," "bollocks," and "bloody." Furthermore, God's name is taken in vain once.

Edgin, a charismatic bard, and his barbarian companion Holga find themselves incarcerated in a frigid prison in Icewind Dale due to their failed plans. Despite their charm, their attempts have not always been successful, resulting in their present situation.

Overall, the Dungeons and Dragons 2023 movie is an epic adventure that is sure to delight fans of the game and newcomers alike. With a talented cast, stunning visuals, and an engaging plot, this movie is a must-see for anyone who loves a good fantasy story.
