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./

Seriously, this has been rated 6.5!!??

Bad as acting, bad story line, bad filming bad scenes, bad bad bad... where is the minus button. Disjointed, not even artistic, I just can't believe this was even released...3 times I was soo close to turning it off, but I persevered in the interest of... maybe it'll pick up... but no... it didn't. You could tell the actors just wanted it to be over so they could go home and forget about this miserable assignment. Some major investments needed for any sequel, better screen writing, better actors better shooting, better everything ... worst thing is that I wasted 1.40min on this drivel... bad, bad, bad!

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.

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.

I enjoyed the depiction of Elves and their philosophies, as well as the narrative had some surprises. The sets were also very nice, and it had a great tone. They had to shoot around their budget, so if you are looking for expensive and grand set pieces you won't find them here. If you enjoy Dungeons and Dragons it is better than many offerings. I recommend for fantasy fans.

I myself liked the acting, especially the Sheriff and Elven characters. The music suited the story well, but I would have preferred a more traditional orchestral sound.

This is a film that really wants a sequel and I hope we see one.
