Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

(Image credit: Paramount Pictures)

I have to admit that back in the mid 90s, I was the kind of teenager who not only owned a 20-sided dice, but also used it with lethal efficiency to slay all kinds of mythical and gnarly beasties. I played D&D, collected Warhammer Space Marines, went to comic fairs, and spent countless hours of my life battling through every kind of adventure and fantasy game available for my glorious Amiga 1200.

But while this was dangerous behaviour for a teenage lad back then, gaming, fantasy and RPGs are largely seen as cool and mainstream. With huge interest in online gaming and with fantasy films topping cinema and download charts, it is a fantastic time to be a fan of all things swords and sorcery.

So, if you enjoyed the mammoth game on PC,PS5orXbox Series X/S, then why not check out our selection of movies and TV shows available onstreaming servicesthat will keep you in the mood for warriors, mages, orcs, barbarians, and things with way too many arms, legs, squishy bits and teeth… just make sure you roll a 12.

Conan the Barbarian (1982)

This is Arnie at his absolute peak, shouting random slogans while swinging a huge sword. I mean, what else could anyone want in a movie??

Conan the Barbarianwas a huge success in its day and proved to be the spark that lit an entire generation of sword and fantasy movies. It was bold, violent, unrelenting and although ridiculous at times (especially when watched today), it kept its overall tone serious and focused. Arnold, as you would expect for the time, keeps the talking down to a minimum, letting his physicality do the work, hacking and slashing his way through the world while wearing as little as possible.

Arcane

Based on characters and scenarios from the incredibly popularLeague Of Legendsgame series,Arcanecame out of nowhere in 2021 and absolutely blew people away. That’s thanks to its rich, involved and mature story, beautiful visual style and stunning performances from the voice cast.

Quite simply, it is outstanding in every way. The animated show features a truly immersive world and possibly the most beautiful art direction we have ever seen… and yes, that does includeSpiderverseandMitchell’s Vs The Machines.

This show breaks boundaries, bringing a computer game adaptation into what would be described as “mainstream”. It’s absolutely stunning from start to finish and is very easy to become massively invested in.Arcaneis brave, bold and ultimately beautiful.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

If a few years ago critics had said that the sleeper hit of 2023 would be a low budget movie that pays homage to theDungeons & Dragonsuniverse, they would have been chased out of the village using pitchforks.

But they would also have been right, gloriously right.

Not to be confused with the largely awful movies of the mid-2000s,Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thievesis an absolute gift to the world in every way. To the fans of the franchise, it was an honest and respectful love letter to everything they have valued for years. It’s a film that at no point pokes fun at the tabletop game and those who love it, but instead shows how involving it can be and how much it is loved.

Following the simple and often-covered premise of a band of random characters thrown together in a quest to retrieve a magic thing, to stop an evil thing, the plot is hardly inventive, but the way it is done is what sets the movie apart. There is warmth and love in every scene, respect for the franchise and the fans, humour and adventure in equal measure, and some fantastic performances from the ensemble cast. It is a real treat to watch, even from an outsider’s perspective – a homage to the sword and sorcery movies of the 1980s that manages to build upon an established world and invites the viewer in to discover more.

Unsurprisingly, the release of the film and its success has led to a growth in the amount of people now looking to get into actual D&D playing and those choosing fantasy games in general. And surely in the dumpster fire that is the 2020s, an escape from reality simply cannot be seen as a bad thing?
