A Knight's War

And now for the real reviews. Can't think of one good thing to say about this medieval wooden bucket of crap. Poor acting,poor effects,poor script,poor movie,poor poor poor.

It baffles me how these movies get made. Surely someone involved in the making of it would eventually say "guys this is just terrible,can we stop now". Unless it's your aim to actually make a bad movie as a revenge thing on one of the actors or investors.

I'm struggling to make the 600 letter review because all I can say is its crap. Hahahaha.

It's a big shame though because money and time has been spent badly and I'm a huge fan of medieval,knights type movies so foolishly watched it all.

I love this type of movie,so I'm possibly it's target audience...I simply cannot agree with the 1 star reviews,they seem hostile for the sake of being hostile. Its not up there with the likes of Excalibur,but like another review suggested,more like a slightly lower budget Solomon Kane. Wish there was more action,but the story flows pretty well, decent special effects for the low budget. Acting was solid nothing oscar worthy but it gets the job done...Now,makes me want an actual sequel or reboot to Solomon Kane....and again those 1 star reviews are beyond ridiculous,it's nowhere near that bad, straight in the bin with them.

Dude, this movie was thrown together on a dime, and it's still fire-way better than those bloated big-budget disasters. You know how it goes: Hollywood dumps millions on CGI and overhyped stars, and it's still a snooze or a total mess. This flick? No cash, no problem. They leaned on guts, good writing, and some real-deal effort. It's crazy how they made it work with peanuts while the fat-cat films tank hard. That scrappy, underdog energy hits different-proof you don't need deep pockets to make something worth watching. Just some heart and hustle. Big-budget clowns could learn a thing or two from this.

I was pleasantly surprised on how well made this movie was. Realistic armor, great CGI, choreography that made sense. Those are all things that you hardly ever see later.

The practical effects instead of just using CGI made it even better as it just feels like a dying art more and more it was a breath of fresh air.

Art direction itself was fitting to the story.

Acting wasnt stunning but also wasnt hard to watch.

Story: While it wasn´t anything groundbreaking and could do a bit better on worldbuilding. It was still enjoyable and made sense.

All in all I am happy to recommend this movie to friends and would love them to create more like this.

I'll keep this simple (like my mental state...) This starts off well with a great look and atmosphere, and even a clever touch of humour here and there.

But, sadly, after about 20 minutes or so it begins to lose its focus, and its hold on the audience. To me, the forward momentum just kind of stops as the scenes around this time are just very SLOW, drawn out torture in a sense. That does not a good movie make and for me personally is just a very lazy default to an unnecessarily lowest denominator.

That is too bad, really, because I think there was a fairly decent, if not terribly original idea here, but someone definitely dropped the ball in my lowly and wretched opinion. The look and mood though I feel could have been very effective, if there were a decent story to go along with it.

To be fair, I am not a huge fan of these kinds of Sword & Sorcery films (with the exception of course of the excellent 'BEASTMASTER', 'CONAN', 'KRULL', and perhaps a few others) but, especially with such a strong, dark beginning, it is a shame that whomever was behind the actual storytelling to me just simply didn't seem that terribly interested.

I gave it a VERY generous '5' because of the nice look of it and the good look and atmosphere, but if you are looking for an entertaining and compelling story, I'm afraid this isn't it...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~MY PARTICULAR WAY OF RATING:

5 - Flawed, but with some entertainment value.

6. A decently passable story maybe worth a watch.

7. A solid film, well made, effective, and entertaining.

And, obviously, you can probably figure out what above and below these would mean... : )

(Maybe, this statement below which was my original Title was why my first review was declined, IDK... Let me try added it down here)

Yes, a lot of these '10' reviews are clearly plants. But, the '1' star ones are not justified either...
