D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

[M_Natas]

Doric didn't have chemistry with anyone, which had to be a direction issue since the actress is definitely capable of it, and the directors were content with that performance.

I'm not sure what they were trying to go for making that choice for her character. The distrust of humans thing wasn't even relevant in the movie.

It's from her backstory that is in her book "The Druid's Call". Its pretty dark. Like, if a player would come with such a backstory to my table I would be like seriously? But that's the reason she doesn't trust like anybody.

Yeah and movies don’t make that money back over a single weekend.

The article does not say that. Strawman. The article projects the total receipts based on then opening weekend. Common method.

It feels like a leftover from another version of the script, for sure. There are certainly ways for those two know each other other than romance.

I dunno, I feel like it effectively established Simon's character. And he didn't bring it up again until after the whole adventure was over so it was hardly a romance.

Box Office: ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Rolls $38.5 Million in Opening Weekend

"Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" impressed in its domestic box office debut.

They correct the total in the article, but this is Variety, which has a more balanced view on the opening weekend. The really positive takes are from people associated more directly with the movie so need to be taken with a grain of salt. I do get somewhat of a feeling that the movie was expensive from the way the article is worded.

Apologies if this has been covered in the 224 posts I've skipped but when is the pee break? That is, the scene you can safely skip to go and have a pee.

The mid credit bonus scene at the end.

When Holga goes home to visit her ex-husband. It's a 30 second joke stretched to four or five minutes.

Slightly worth it for, the "wait is that..." actor stunt casting. But otherwise, yeah.

Yeah, stand in the doorway of the theater, see who it is, go "huh," and run to the john.

I went during the tavern scene after (I think?) that one. I came back and Sofina was walking away from one of the assasin decapitating some fool by the water.
