“Dungeons And Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” (** out of four) was a hollow adaptation of the legendary video/board game about a rogue thief (Chris Pine) and a series of followers (Michelle Rodriguez, Rege-Jean Page, and others) who embark on a journey to retrieve a lost relic but encumber obstacles and treachery at every turn especially when they come up against Ford Fitzwilliam (Hugh Grant) and his team of dragons and demons. Lots of dungeons and dragons but film is surprisingly dull for the first hour or so; it jump-starts again every now and then and features some great visual effects but never detonates with any awe or wonder. You can’t help but think how this brings back memories of “Raiders Of The Lost Ark”, “The Mummy”, “Pan’s Labyrinth”, and also “Labyrinth” at times.
