Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

They deserve to be kicked out of the industry—hard.

Honestly, over the last few years, I’ve developed a real allergy to these lazy, bottom-of-the-barrel translations...

I remember picking up much more English just by watching movies back in the day—they actually had decent subtitles then, unlike now. Today’s generation struggles to learn English because they're stuck with these terrible translations...

Was it really that difficult to translate "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" correctly?
Why can't they just stick to the actual title?

If I were the boss, I’d fire the translator on the spot... either they’re trying too hard to be "clever" or they’re just plain incompetent... either way, I wouldn't hire them again for anything.

p.s. — and don't even get me started on the garbage translations you see on FOX or NBC (like in the series "The Mentalist")...🤦, though even PBS has slipped up a few times... it’s honestly jarring when you hear what the characters are saying in the original audio, only to read some mindless, inaccurate subtitle underneath.

Quite amusing, particularly that bloated dragon 🤣

Haha, now that’s actually pretty funny!

It feels like it’s somewhere right in the ballpark of the first Guardians movie...

Pretty pointless. There’s zero world-building here. It feels like whoever wrote this has never actually played the game; I have no idea what this world is supposed to be or who these characters are. The movie just assumes you're already up to speed, dropping you into a mediocre plot that goes nowhere. It’s just one task after another—steal this, then do that to get this, then do that to get that—just to pad out the runtime.
It’s nowhere near the level of the Guardians. No wonder it flopped. Honestly, just skip it.

I don't think this has anything to do with playing The Avengers
BUT it’s honestly such a blast of a movie, plenty of laughs and the cast is seriously top-tier

A solid film, I’d give it a 7/10.

Let's see how this TV series measures up.

If only Drizzt had actually shown up. It would have made things a hell of a lot better.

Honestly, this hits harder than most superhero movies we've seen over the last decade. It’s weird. I guess that explains why the box office numbers were so underwhelming.

What an absolute waste of time. I shut it off after just 15 minutes... It felt like sitting through some mindless Disney cartoon for toddlers. Truly awful. The acting was about as convincing as a fourth-grade school play.

I mean, just imagine if top-tier critics were actually allowed to give a movie a rating after watching only 15 minutes of it 🙏

Not really a stretch...☕
Took me four tries to actually finish it.🤣
The biggest issue is how they totally botched the casting for every single role.
Then you've got mediocre acting and jokes that just don't land.
Zero chemistry between anyone on screen.
Michael Rodriguez was a complete miscast. I spent half the time wondering what kind of weird hair situation she had going on. It looked terrible, then I realized it was supposed to be a braid.

A surprisingly fun watch 👍
8/10 from a genre fan's perspective.

The opening feels a bit off, which I suspect is why it didn't resonate with everyone, but things really pick up steam later on.
