Welcome to the party. This week on Cinemaholics, we review Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, a new film adaptation of the classic tabletop game. Directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley (Game Night), Dungeons & Dragons blends medieval fantasy action with high-concept comedy, and with a game cast, no less. Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, and Hugh Grant are all here rolling the dice on this being the next big blockbuster franchise. But we’re a bit divided on this one being a quest worth taking. It’s a Cinemaholics battle for the ages.
