Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves currently as a 100% Fresh Rating at the review aggregator site, Rotten Tomatoes.
In its review of the film, Variety writes āChris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and RegĆ©-Jean Page rule in an adventure that turns pop-fantasy derivativeness into its own form of fun. Dungeons & Dragons should be a major hit, because it knows how to tap into our nostalgia ā not just for a game, but for the entire fantasy culture it helped to spawn. Itās the movie itself thatās role-playing.
The Hollywood Reporter, for its part, writes ā[T]he highly anticipated Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves exceeded expectations. The [filmmakers] have created an adaptation that will appeal to the nostalgic side of existing fans and entertain those whose eyes glaze over at the mention of Dungeon Masters, bards or druids.

Meanwhile, Mashable raves, āDungeons & Dragons is the kind of epic fun fans have been waiting for. Throughout the film, there are moments of life-or-death stakes and even jolting jump scares. But this bounce, this sense of play, helps keep things light and fun so that [the film] might be enjoyed by grown-ups and kids alike.
Finally, The Austin Chronicle admires, ā[T]his is D&D, where high weirdness, magical beasts, and terrible, world-ending conspiracies are an everyday matter. Yes, there’s an overarching plot, but the path to the end is through a series of encounters, each their own quest. Each plays out as a glorious set piece – some funny, some clever, some action-packed, some thrilling, and never boring – all executed with the frenetic, giddy energy.
