A NewDungeons & DragonsMovie Clip Works the Graveyard Shift

With every unmarried video that comes out for this film , I am more and more confident thatDungeons & Dragons : Honor Among stealer is just an amalgamation of themost common pitfallsin any hand D&D campaign . Is it as comic watching it on screen as it is when you ’re playing it out with friends ? That remains to be regard . But for now , enjoy Chris Pine ’s Bard making afool of himselfin a burying ground .

Oh , Edgin , you beautiful dense - dumb . You ca n’t be that pretty and not have your Intelligence stat abide . Simon the Sorcerer was very clear ; you’re able to ask the cadaver five question . And what do you do ?

magnanimous D&D nerds will pettifog about whether or not wizard can cast “ Speak With Dead ” ( it ’s traditionally a Cleric spell ) and whether or not there should be incense burn as this hap , but whatever . The fact remains that they are in a graveyard that looks like a Sam Raimi setpiece from Army of Darkness , shit - mouth with an enliven cadaver in what might be the most fan service interaction we ’ve see yet from the film . This might actually be fall apart the “ no meta ” rule that the music director said would n’t happen , but I ’m not about to keep back it against them . formula are arbitrary , after all .

Am I convinced that this film is give way to be rummy ? No . Am I win over this picture is move to be a drive and a one-half as it tries to navigate the booby trap of attempting to narratively explicate all the arbitrary rules of D&D to mass audience ? Yes . There ’s a huge conflict between creating limits in a armed combat simulator and seeing them play out on screen , but I ’m sure it ’s move to be an absolute misstep watching the motion-picture show attempt to excuse spell slots .

dungeon & Dragons : Honor Among Thieves comes to theater on March 31 .
