The premise of Dungeons & Dragons is simple: a group of friends from the small, fictional town of Plumsteadville find a book of spells that leads them on a magical and dangerous quest to save their friend, Diane. The group, made up of die-hard Dungeon & Dragons fan, Marlon (Machale Moore), the clumsy but good-hearted Spencer (Joel McHale), straight-laced videographer Cyprus (Brand Pomtoro), the feisty and sassy Bethany (Dawnn Lewis), streetwise Cadillac (Giancarlo Esposito), and the mysterious rescuing ranger cotton (Ludacris) all bring something unique and different to the table in the movie.
Throughout the movie, viewers are treated to numerous laugh-out-loud moments. From the characters’ constant bickering, to the creative use of imagination to solve puzzles, the movie succeeds in delivering an entertaining and well-told story. The filmmakers also nailed the visuals, which portray the Dungeons & Dragons world in vibrant detail. The sets, props, costumes and special effects all come together perfectly to create a world that feels almost real.
