2023's Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves brings the RPG franchise back to the big screen, but how do the D&D movies stack up from worst to best?
2023's Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves brought the classic tabletop RPG franchise back to the big screen again, but which D&D movie is best? First published in 1974, the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons launched a tabletop craze and created a franchise that blazed the trail for an entire industry of RPG gaming.
There were several reasons why 2000's Dungeons & Dragons failed, not the least of which was its intentional distancing from the rich lore of the game. Monsters like the Mind Flayer were included, but the class system and general flow of a D&D adventure were eschewed in favor of trite Hollywood clichés. Despite having an all-star cast, many of the performances were over-the-top and silly, and the film violently rebounded from tone to tone without establishing a definitive feel.
The film was a loving homage to the RPG in almost every way, and it had enough complicated dark fantasy elements to satisfy the most experienced Dungeon Master. However, the acting left a lot to be desired and many of the performances fell far short of what even a straight-to-DVD movie should deliver. On top of that, the movie's minuscule budget was unable to support the story's lofty ideas, and many of the CGI creatures were downright laughable compared to Hollywood films of the time.
