Now, with Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' release date right around the corner, many critics have already published their reviews and the movie's Rotten Tomatoes score has been aggregated. As opposed to past Dungeons & Dragons adaptations, Honor Among Thieves is sitting at a 90 percent Certified Fresh rating with over 100 reviews. Critics are praising the new adaptation for its lighthearted comedy and surprisingly emotional through line that is accessible to both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

Honor Among Thieves' Rotten Tomatoes score should come as a massive relief for players of the fantasy tabletop game considering the history of past Dungeons & Dragons adaptations. The first film adaptation from 2000, simply titled Dungeons & Dragons, was an infamous flop that has an abysmal 10 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics excoriated the film for its cheap visuals, bad direction, and poor performances. Despite being a box office bomb and critical failure, 2000's Dungeons & Dragons was followed by two lesser-known sequels that resulted in a trilogy with very little continuity.

A made-for-TV sequel, Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God, was released in 2005, followed by a direct-to-DVD sequel in 2012, Dungeons & Dragons 3: The Book of Vile Darkness. However, neither sequel has been reviewed enough to have a rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Considering the overwhelmingly positive critical reaction to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Paramount's reboot surely has hopes of spawning another trilogy, one that will likely result in much more critical and commercial success than its predecessor.
