So, like 5 comments saying it's a good movie, and not a single comments, nor the title of the post, or the post itself, mention the name of the movie.

Wtf am I looking at?

[-] CaptSatelliteJack@lemy.lol 30 points 3 days ago

Dungeons and Dragons Honor Among Thieves. If you haven't figured it out already, that is.

[-] essell@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

How could anyone "figure that out" if they didn't know the film? ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฃ

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

I believe they meant in case you didn't research it yourself or someone else didn't answer.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I'll be honest: I've never seen the movie, but I have seen enough references to it and memes made from screenshots of it that I instantly guessed what it was. The fact that we're in rpgmemes did help.

...it's an okay movie: perfectly servicable Standard Hollywood Treatment^TM^; competently written, directed, performed, and edited; genre trope in-jokes liberally sprinkled throughout...

...i believe most positive reactions stem from defying expectations that it be a bad movie, rather than actually being good...

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

Absolutely not. I fucking loved this movie. It pivots between things a few times and they're all interesting. It's got humor too. It really captures what a d&d campaign feels like.

[-] josefo@leminal.space 5 points 3 days ago

DnD of course

[-] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 31 points 3 days ago

Such an unexpectedly good movie. You should definitely watch.

And oh my God do I love that fat dragon more than anything...

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

I have a plush of him! I love it!

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Really reminds me of my parents cat

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 days ago

If I ever have a fat orange cat, I'm calling him Themberchaud, the Wyrmsmith of Gracklstugh.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago

It's really a very good movie. The best thing about it is feels like an actual session being filmed. You can almost tell when the rolled a 0 and when they rolled a 20.

[-] ZoteTheMighty@midwest.social 5 points 2 days ago

The best scene was where one character was in handcuffs and kept rolling too low to get out and the camera kept switching from one character who was doing awesome stunts back to them doing nothing useful the whole fight.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Yep, and at some point the DM lost his patience with the group and introduced a friendly OP NPC (the paladin) to get the story rolling already.

[-] ZoteTheMighty@midwest.social 2 points 1 day ago

Nah, that wasn't an NPC, that was a friend who showed up for only a week. That's why they asked him if they would see him again before he left.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Also possible, yes. The way he almost acted like a robot at the end was a dig at him being an NPC, I thought. But it could also be a dig at Paladins always being straightforward, literally. That's the great thing about the movie, many gags work on several levels.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

Another meme I enjoyed was that the DM made up that the hither thither staff was magic just so they could cross the bridge and then the party proceeds to break a poorly thought out, unintentionally over powered item.

[-] felbane@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

If someone rolled a 0 they're in big trouble

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 35 points 3 days ago

It's a fun movie. Maybe not a great movie, but fun to watch. My family doesn't play TTRPGs, but they liked it too.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 35 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

There are scenes where you can very much see the rolls being made and how the "players" are dealing with them. And I like that a lot about it.

[-] themadcodger@kbin.earth 35 points 3 days ago

I haven't stopped to verify, but in the battle at the end, they apparently all attack in initiative order each lasting about six seconds. It's those little attention to detail bits that make it fun for players, on top of being enjoyable for non-players as a fantasy action movie.

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago

Yep, and you can tell what spells they're using pretty often (obviously adapted for screen) without someone yelling "Your Maximillion's Earthen Grasp is no match for my Bigby's Hand!" so it's fun as a player to see that as well.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

And also the parts where the GM is going "this would make the scene better even though it doesn't work that way" like the scene in the graveyard.

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

[-] josefo@leminal.space 15 points 3 days ago

Surprisingly good movie, and accurate to the source material

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

B- b- but Owlbears aren't a beast! A- and she wild shapes too many times in too short of a time period!

[-] josefo@leminal.space 2 points 1 day ago

Didn't mean the manuals bro, but the general vibe of an actual group of players doing random shit

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

I thought it was clear I was mocking the people who had a problem with that aspect.

[-] josefo@leminal.space 2 points 13 hours ago

Sorry, the internet has damaged my satire perception

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 12 hours ago

You're okay ๐Ÿ’œ

[-] jagermo@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I also like Hugh Grant as a sleazy rouge - his latest non-heartthrob roles are great.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

For a second I thought this was some brainrot BG3 mod that makes Withers look Balenciaga-style

[-] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 3 points 3 days ago

What a fantastic idea!

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago
[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago
