Dnd Movie, Very Entertaining

D&D. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.  I could have done for a Conan-style lead, but damn if they didn't do a really good job. Liked it quite a bit for a comedy. I guess I'm getting old, never would have tolerated the goofy tone in my young days. The magic was top-flipping-notch, looked great compared to pretty much anything I've seen to date. Glad they got that right. 

Somebody had a video showing like 71 Easter eggs, including named spells. Very nice. 

Here is a list of some cool spells they used:

1. Meteor Swarm, def. level 9. 

2. Prestidigitation (finger flame, ice finger) ... err, level 0. :)

3. Finger of Death, level 9 I think. 

4. Time Stop... wooo, level 9 again. 

5. Cone of Cold - what I missed that, in some flashback with horses they say. 

6. Chain Lightning - oh yeah.

7. Reverse Gravity - just like the old arcade game, thank  you very much.

8. Ring.. um I mean some bracelet (?) of invisibility - nicely frickin' used, yeah. 

9. The "portal gun" staff/stick was super cool.

10. Magic Missle - but if that was it, it sure missed, not correct. 

11. Animate Object - mr. statue dragon

12. Misty Step - Newer spell (4th ed. invention i think) - misty step, think long range blink, used by bad wizard lich chick Sofina to move out of range and animate the statue. 






Oh and man, did they ever do a great job with the Druid's shapeshifting scenes. While apparently breaking lots of lore rules, it was still super fun to watch, I'm good. 

Cool monster appearances:

a. Gelatinous Cube

b. Owlbear - cheated if druid they say but i'm cool. The kid reminded that it's the first time he's seen a snowy owl version of one, liked it. 

c. black dragon - did the strafe attack nicely in flashback 

d. Displacer beast, very nice. 

e. Mimic - looked right
