Goldstein, Daley and Gilio were also behind the movie’s screenplay.
The film currently enjoys a 90% tomatometer on Rottentomatoes. Tomatometer represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive.
“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,” the critics consensus reads.
“[T]he highly anticipated ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves’ exceeded expectations. The [filmmakers] have created an adaptation that will appeal to the nostalgic side of existing fans and entertain those whose eyes glaze over at the mention of Dungeon Masters, bards or druids,” the Hollywood Reporter’s review reads.
“Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and Regé-Jean Page rule in an adventure that turns pop-fantasy derivativeness into its own form of fun. ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ should be a major hit, because it knows how to tap into our nostalgia — not just for a game, but for the entire fantasy culture it helped to spawn. It’s the movie itself that’s role-playing,” The Variety’s rave review also read. —Rosette Adel
