Warlord

Did they really think this was good enough to make more than one of? The ending of this movie is setting it up for a second, but who will green light that? The big twist was kind of assanign. For the budget this thing probably had I will say they did a decent job with the set. But the acting and the pacing where slow and tedious. I can't believe I made it through the whole thing. I guess I was thinking it would get better, or I liked some of the class war messaging, but then it spits on all that. Anything that was good abot it was lost by the end of this low budget robinhood with elves movie./

Warlord is one of those movies that really pulls you in and doesn't let go. The story feels fresh but familiar in the best way, and the world-building is seriously impressive. I especially liked the use of magic, not too much, but just enough.

The performances are strong across the board, and the visuals have this gritty, lived-in feel that makes everything more real.

The pacing is tight too - it always feels like something important is about to happen, and you're just glued to it. You can tell a lot of care went into every part of it, from the costumes to the music. Definitely worth checking out if you like smart, grounded fantasy.

If you're expecting some Spiderman action, this is obviously an indie and you can see they worked with what they had. Which they did really well.

A mini fantasy drama like a draft and sketch of 'Lord of the Moose'. It is entertaining and enthralling if you have nothing else to watch. The set design, costumes and visual effects were good to decent, while the storyline, script and flow were subpar.

If you would like to watch fantasy revolt movie, LOTR and The Hobbit are much better choices.

Absolutely loved this movie, so so good. Acting was great, storyline was complex but paid off so well at the end. That final climax was brilliant. Costumes are cool and the world building is great. Also, the music is epic. Worth a watch.

Would liked to have seen more of the elves, but that's kind of the point of the film in some ways. Billy Boyd is great and I really liked Axle. All the elf stuff is really good. Their weapons are cool, could definitely have done more with that. But this is an indie fantasy movie, huge kudos for tackling it and delivering. We need more films like this. My take away is if you like fantasy, this is for you.

Who is this made for? I watched the entire first 30 minutes and still have no clue what this is about. Fantasy movie only in name and costumes. All they do is talk. Boring as boring can be. If you have children be careful, there is a scene where a guy is running in the woods naked and his privates are clearly outlined as he prances around. Bizarre. He gets caqptured, castrated and tar and feathered by the elves. Adds nothing to the movie except more disgust and makes no sense. This is not a spoiler, there is nothing here to spoil. I think that is the main action scene in this bore fest.

Listen, I adore Lord of Rings, most fantasy tv shows, and cut them a lot of slack. I forgive much. I am a fantasy geek hardcore. But this thing is not a proper movie. Not even a proper play. Every high school play is better than this. Maybe it was crowd funded? I want my half hour back.

I did fast forward to make sure there were no later scenes to redeem it. But no, zero.
