It’s a mere eight days earlier than Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Amongst Thieves hits theaters, a film that by all accounts is fairly enjoyable if not notably consequential. Critically, I haven’t heard anyone bad-mouth the movie since its first trailer was launched again in July of 2022. So why does this closing trailer appear so satisfied that everybody thinks the film is horrible?

The trailer is so weird that the selection to make use of /Movie’s quote about the way it comprises “Probably the most Chris Pine a Chris efficiency has been in a very long time” is not the weirdest factor about it:

The trailer begins with “Neglect the whole lot you assume you already know… everyone seems to be raving about Dungeons & Dragons!” Charitably, it reads just like the announcer is definite everybody thinks the film goes to be an enormous pile of crap, however don’t take heed to the haters! Besides… there aren’t any? Critically, the movie’s gotten good crucial reactions and appears—and has at all times regarded—like a whole lot of enjoyable! There’s a large listing of publications which have given the film constructive critiques proper within the trailer! It’s weirdly defensive, making an attempt to struggle an issue that doesn’t appear to exist.

With that in thoughts, it sounds extra just like the announcer desires you to have some form of amnesia earlier than you go to observe the movie when it premieres on March 31. “Neglect the whole lot you already know! …additionally, unrelatedly, folks appear to love Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Amongst Thieves. It’s Chris Pine-y as hell, guys. You want Chris Pine, proper? Nicely, overlook that you simply like Chris Pine, too! I demand it!”
