We are in an era of filmmaking where being able to tie a new film to a known and popular piece of intellectual property is basically required. It seems like nearly every movie that is released is a sequel or a reboot of something popular or based on something else that people already know. The reason for this is obvious, but while it can certainly attract an audience already familiar with the book or movie in question, what if a new film is based on something that a lot of people have heard of, but aren't actually that familiar with? in this case, I'm referring to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
Certainly, a lot of people are familiar with the name Dungeons & Dragons. It's not even the first movie with that title, and a lot of those people probably have a basic understanding of what the game is, but I’d wager that most moviegoers in your average theater on a Saturday night have never actually played Dungeons & Dragons. That might have at least the potential of turning off people who aren’t familiar with the game from seeing Honor Among Thieves. But fear not, because if you’re one of those people who is afraid a lack of knowledge about the game will harm your enjoyment of the movie, I’m here to tell you that won’t be a problem.
