Cavaleiros Com Sangue de Aço

OK so its no Lord of the Rings, but for the amount of money it had it did pretty good in my opinion. I give it a 9/10 against other B movies. THe story was good, the plot wasn't bad and the acting wasn't terrible either. WIth a little imagination on the part of the viewer this is a great movie! This is sort of a World of Warcraft meets Lord of the Rings kind of movie. Surprisingly the special effects weren't as bad as expected and the sheer amount of actors was awesome! Most movies of this type would not have nearly as many actors! Check it out! Definitely worth a rental or even a purchase if you are into fantasy movies.

There seems to be a certain standard that SciFi must force their movie to adhere to because what other explanation can there there be for a consistency of bland, badly acted and boring stories. Here we have another fantasy adventure which utterly lacks both. Would it have really been that hard to come up with a few novel twists on the genre? With feature films pushing the edges of story telling and concept, are these scripts and filmmakers really the best SciFi can come up with? you would think a show like Battlestar Galactica would have shown it can be done. Or is it a matter of saving a few dollars? Even the Seeker TV show now on is dreadful. Everything is fantasy is recycled it seems. I am excited for next year in film and TV. My hope is the new Conan film along with Red Sonja, Thor, John Carter on Mars will put fantasy and imagination back into this genre. I even have hope for a low budget effort like Tales of an Ancient Empire (yes it has Kevin sorbo and Christopher Lambert, but I loved The Sword and the Sorcerer so I'll give it a try). My hope is to once again see imagination and creative ideas in these efforts (I can not call them films). Please Sci Fi, spend a little more time and money to get better people in front of and behind the camera.

I do not want to summarize the plot, but I would like to recommend it, as I actually thought it was a little better than the normal Sci-Fi Channel movies (the ones they produce or sponsor or whatever you want to call the "B" Movies they show that are brought to you by the Sci-Fi Channel). I watch their movies because I love sci-fi & fantasy stuff so much, I even manage to get through the worst of them, some of which often have me wincing at the writing, acting and special effects, but I thought the acting in this, the writing, and the character development was noticeably better than the ones I usually see. Cudos to Sci-Fi Channel. While, I would still consider it a "B" Movie, it is a move in the right direction. Thanks.

I bought this movie (or is it a mini-series?) on DVD quite a while back, and only recently bothered to watch it. While it had its slow parts, it did keep me interested enough to keep watching, despite being long.

It's one of those movies I wouldn't recommend to everyone, as it lacks some of the fancy and "shiny" glow we all expect when watching such movies, but I believe anyone who likes the fantasy genre enough, will enjoy and appreciate this movie, despite not being a masterpiece.

One reviewer in particular insisted that the story wasn't original, but I disagree. While some of the story elements here we have seen before, this movie does bring enough original elements and twists of its own for me to consider it interesting and original enough to justify its existence.

I'm familiar with some of writer Sam Egan's work (The Outer Limits, Sanctuary, Continuum) and while "Knights Of Bloodsteel" might not be his best work, it was fun and interesting to watch. It was also fun to watch David James Elliot (Commander Rabb on JAG) playing Serragoth.

Recommended!

Was it perfect? No. But I wasn't expecting perfection. It was fantasy, and as such it was a new world to be explored by the viewer. Since I don't watch a lot of fantasy stuff, I didn't have a lot of other stories/shows to compare it to. So to me it was pretty good. I would have preferred that the director have allowed David James Elliott to continue using the Scots accent that he started with (instead of telling him to stop since he was afraid that no one would be able to understand him. I understood DJE better than I did the actress who played Perfidia. Not sure if the problem there was her accent or the fake fangs she was forced to wear for her role.) I wouldn't mind seeing this go to series, although I know that it won't. I think that there were still stories to be told about the Knights of Bloodsteel.
