This was the joke in the DnD movie…
I haven’t seen it yet lol
you should def watch Honor Among Thieves. they did a terrific job of it.
Just to echo what others have said, it is way better than it has any right to be.
The movie somehow manages to effectively capture the feeling of playing a casual campaign with friends. The story is played completely straight in-universe (as in, there is no outer-level frame narrative of nerds with character sheets gathered around a table), but you can just sense where the tabletop RPG tropes were woven into the plot.
Edit: also to clarify, the specific movie others are describing is D&D: Honor Among Thieves. Not any of the bad D&D movies made in the early 00’s.
I really want them to do another movie with the same cast playing different characters.
Kind of like Jumanji?
The 00’s D&D movie is bad. It has terrible writing, bad lore, a bad example of a campaign (main character syndrome like crazy), and is the bad kind of campy. That being said, there’s a warm place in my heart for that movie.
I can vouch for the dnd movie hard, I went in because my dad made me, and I was ready for it to be garbage. My only real complaint is druid wild stape doesn’t work like that RAW. It really was quite excellent.
You should. Something tells me you’ll like the jokes in it.
You’ve got something to look forward to, then. It’s quite enjoyable.
You should! It’s fun!
