Someone in Hollywood must have rolled a nat 20, because the new DnD movie—Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which is now available on demand—is a critical hit. If you have no idea what that first sentence means, don’t worry, because Dungeons & Dragons requires no prior knowledge of the popular tabletop role-playing game. For the uninitiated, it’s a delightful adventure film, packed with creative action sequences, laugh-out-loud jokes, and Chris Pine’s irresistible charm. And for the nerds with a character sheet at home, co-directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley have included plenty of references, Easter Eggs, and wink-wink moments. Those magnificent madmen actually did it: They made a great DnD movie.
