Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves review Rating: EXCELLENT. A fun adventure with enjoyable characters that is solidly grounded in Forgotten Realms lore. Indeed, though some license is taken in the details (e.g. the druid wildshapes into a magical beast), there may be too much name-dropping for non-D&D fans ... but I quite enjoyed it. The producers paid a lot of money to squeeze plenty of action, plot, characterization, and humor into one movie, and it is quite reverential toward the source material. Woke level: LOW. As in much fiction since the late 20th century, there are female fighters who are stronger than their male counterparts, a male character or two is overly effeminate, every location is more multi-racial than a San Francisco slum, and one particular canonical character is race-swapped. However, I did not detect ANY heterophobia, and there are no perfect characters of any race or sex. Recommendation: SEE IT on the big screen, and let me know what you
