The Super Bowl is a great place for commercials of all kinds, but it’s a big deal for moviegoers because movies have to sell, too. We’ll see plenty of upcoming movie announcements during the big game, but like most Super Bowl announcements these days, we don’t have to wait until the game to see them. The commercial of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is now available and highlights each member of the group.
Dungeons and Dragons is a game where players band together to form a group of adventurers. Each character has their own unique set of skills that they bring to the table and 30-second version of the honor among thieves The trailer focuses on each of the different characters and what they can do. Check above.
Though the ad doesn’t show us anything we haven’t seen in the trailers Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thievesit does about as much as you might attempt to distill the essence of a D&D game and movie into half a minute.
It starts with Chris Pine’s bard character saying he needs a team, and then we see each member of that team putting together the incredible honor among thieves to discard. Michelle Rodriquez plays a half-orc barbarian. Régé-Jean Page is a human champion. Justice Smith is a wizard and Sophia Lillis is Doric, a tiefling druid.
It’s a pretty solid party to throw in any true D&D campaign. That would be a lot of work for any dungeon master. Lots of potentially interesting character dynamics to explore. And then, of course, there’s the adventure itself, where this group will band together to battle a great evil they inadvertently helped create.
So far, it must be said that there is great potential in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. For those unfamiliar with the source material, it will simply be a traditional fantasy story that clearly has some humor. The foundation of D&D is based on many of the same fantasy concepts that JRR Tolkien popularized and many others have used since, so everyone understands.
But for those familiar with Dungeons & Dragons, honor among thieves you can have even more for yourself. Sure, the ads and trailers have shown off a lot of classic monsters that players will encounter, but it’s the tone of the film that’s perfect. While D&D is designed to allow for “serious” storytelling, it’s nearly impossible that things, either by accident or by intention of the player, don’t get a little silly every once in a while. This movie clearly understands that.
