Funny. So funny. (1 more)
Paced well, and story made sense
Far from a classic, but damn good fun
I went to see Thor: Ragnarok on a whim and am so happy that I did. It was so fun, and I had no idea that Taika was the one directing it, but it made total sense once I saw the credits (watch What We Do In The Shadows for an idea of the kind of humor in this Thor).
Sometimes Thor: Ragnarok should have taken itself a little more seriously than it did, but I did not think those moments detracted from my overall enjoyment of the film. Thanks for making action movies fun again, Marvel.
Also please keep Taika Waititi on for the next one. Please.

The Soundtrack.
An epic rambling cinematic adventure and a gem that is filled with humor and amazing moments... my favorite Coen brothers film.
I just love this movie.... George Clooney as the smooth and fast talking pretty boy... and John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson. I don't think there is a performance that falls short of excellent from the entire cast. Even the blind Radio Station Man. The soundtrack alone gets played a lot on my iPod. I love the old timey feel and the great rhythm. It's so damn catchy. The whole thing feels like an epic goofy journey and it's inspired by Homer, so you know it's good. For added goodness, here's some alternate movie posters...

KyleQ (267 KP) rated Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Among Thieves (2023) in Movies
Apr 13, 2023
Very enjoyable fantasy adventure.
Based on the tabletop game, a group of adventurers bands together to exact revenge on the thief Forge (Hugh Grant).
Honor Among Thieves moves along at a brisk pace, using plenty of humor, which is well delivered by its humorous cast.
I was particularly worried from the trailer that this would be too focused on action and humor. Thankfully it wasn't.
Characters all have different backstories, though they are all quite predictable.
The main villain is very interesting and intense.
Action sequences are spaced out, well-choreographed, and quite clever.
Overall, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves doesn't really do anything new or different for the fantasy adventure genre. But what it does, it does well.
Very enjoyable, and a good introduction for D&D into the world of cinema.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I felt the pacing of the front half was slow, and Drax's character had completely changed for no given reason. A lot of the unique aspects of the original that I enjoyed were over-exploited in this one, and the heavy handedness kept the humor from hitting the way it did in the first.

It is so great!
Nintendo has really done it this time. I was only going to play for an hour the first time and just couldn't put it down. Fun for all ages. Takes me back to the Mario games when I was a kid. Highly recommended for anyone including only casual gamers to the hardcore game nerd.

This was such a wonderful book! So many great lessons running through through the whole thing about friendship, family, & the impact the choices you make have. Yet it had blood & suspense but humor too. I can't wait to see how this series continues, if it does. Mr. Beatty you have some big shoes to fill to live up to this first installment!

Ashleigh and Brad get involved when one of their neighbors is found dead. Was it a hunting accident or murder? There was very little teddy bear connection in this book, but I still absolutely loved it. The characters and humor are outstanding.

LOL
This story has it all. Vamp, demons, fairies, angels and even a horny little old man. What more can anyone ask for. This book is a laugh a minute. You have to love Robyn's sense of humor. I have to say I loved the babies demons Rachel, Ross, Beyonce and Honest Abe. Keeping my fingers crossed that book two comes out fast.
