The Minion

The Minion (AKA Fallen Knight) stars Dolph Lundgren as a priest who must keep a key out of the hands of a demon who is trying to set the antichrist free.

This is not a movie...It consists of one sided fights (That are poor) And bad acting that will make anybody groan. The Templars should keep this movie from an audience.....Because this groan inducing bore will have you wishing the end of the world would happen just you could get out of this stinkbomb. What was Dolph thinking?

* (Out of four)

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable.****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs.

Sigh,why must Dolphy boy always go on about being a better actor than people give him credit for when he keeps churning this sort of far fetched nonsense out.

I suppose from what I was expecting of it,it was entertaining enough.His accomplice was quite attractive,though she was dressed kind of like a hooker.But,as ever,towards the end,I thought it just got pathetically silly.Nuclear silos?What on earth did they have to do with the story?And since when can you phone somebody in a church?

I've come to a conclusion that I will probably enjoy most of his films...but I'm going to stop taking them so seriously,because they're at the mental level of a 2 year old. Passable,daft hokum.**

This post may betray parts of the plot to the reader and also ruin the movie for the reader if they have not already watched it.

This is without a doubt one of the best movies I have ever seen, I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. Dolph Lundgren (Lukas) is at his best and Françoise Robertson (Karen Goodleaf) shines in this movie. This story is well written and has a great plot, with some great choreographed fight scenes. The Director (Jean-Marc Piché) did such a great job when he directed this movie that it is obvious that he put in allot of hard work and long hours in putting this great movie together. The actors perform so superbly that I would have to say that they are great actors and actresses. As to the special effects they did such a great job making the actual fighting seem real. It is so obvious that anyone who has seen this movie would see how great it is. I would recommend to anyone that they either purchase, rent, borrow, or watch this movie on TV.

Karen Goodleaf shows great courage and heroism throughout the movie, and endures the death of a loved one with dignity. This movie unlike so many others potrays the Native American Community as an honorable and respectable community with a unique culture and value system.

Lukas displays honor, dedication, loyalty, adoration for god, and many other attributes that are so often not potrayed in the common American movie. Dolph Lundgren carries out his mission to prevent the Minion from releasing Lucifer from his prison with a missionary zeal. The potrayal of the Catholic Church and the Knights of Templar was without a doubt one of the best.

Worst portrayal of archaeology in a movie EVER. I don't even know where to begin there were so many flaws. Not little nerdishly nit-picky flaws, either, but big, gaping stupid ones. Please believe me when I tell you, dear ones, archaeologists don't go about their business acting like obsessive, `I work alone,' TV criminologists gasping (made-up) historical trivia into a dictaphone while diving straight for the shiny things without any sort of support team (and if we ever get that possessive about archaeological material, someone needs to slap us upside the head.) Makes Indiana Jones look professional in comparison. (At least he dresses with more practicality.) Gah! Now that I've got that out of my system. the rest of the movie is pretty dang awful, too.

Not a terrible movie but time has not been kind to this film. It's way past it's sell by date. If you want a "Y2K" "World's going to end" movie from this era watch "End of Days" with Arnie!

That's not one of Arnie's but, is much better than this. Dolph completists can watch it but, it's slow and a hard watch.

This seem to be the beginning of Dolph's "Cable movie" era. These cheap Canadian made for TV movies that frankly seem beneath him (at this time in his career) But, everyone has bills to pay I guess!

Dolph is currently working on a documentary about his life so it will interesting to see why he opted to make some of these choices.

1/5 stars. Avoid.
