A Knight's War

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.

This film is ambitious, it's atmospheric, moody and serious. The costumes are beautiful, the sets and locations are too. The cinematography, score and CGI helps with building this world, and the actors were great.

The flaws: this film needed some early critical editing to the story. There was potential for a unique fantasy world to emerge, but I think what we saw was a patch job of various narrative tropes mixed together.

I think clarity, directness, and the courage to propose/build one's own fantastical world would have had a more weighty creative impact on the viewer and it would have helped immerse oneself into someone else's imagination.

I do not want to discourage anyone from seeing this movie! It is incredibly impressive what can be done by motivated creatives, and it's still very fun. Give it a shot if you have the opportunity!

Going into A Knight's War I was expecting a poorly told and poorly produced B Movie. Strangely that's not at all what A Knight's War is. Surprisingly it's really a pretty well made and well told fantasy adventure story.

The Knight takes on an oath to save an innocent woman and fulfill a prophecy and from there an adventure to the depths of darkness unfolds.

The film is genuinely well made. Is it perfect? Certainly not, and some small failures of editing make the story difficult to follow at first. But if you stick with it all makes sense as the story progresses.

The scenes are convincing and the atmosphere is gritty and dark. This film constantly reminded me of the Dark Souls and Mortal Shell video games, which is definitely a compliment to it's art direction and Visual Effects.

The script is competently written medieval fantasy and the actors portray their heroic characters with depth and gravitas. I was particularly impressed by the portrayal of a genuinely good and noble knight fighting against the forces of darkness in both his inner and outer world. And the female protagonist is convincing as a woman torn apart by the lust for revenge.

This film is a genuine dark fantasy sword and sorcery and it's depiction of medieval knights and dark magic is impressive. Most of all it's a solid and exciting action adventure movie and a genuine effort to do the genre justice.

Is it a bit rough around the edges? Sure, but it's merits shine through and make it an enjoyable watch with a satisfying story arc.

A bit sad and unfair that the positive reviews of this film are being down voted just because it is a B Movie. Because actually, it totally deserves the positive reviews it's getting.

If you like films like Solomon Kane, or Excalibur, then check out A Knights War. Give it a chance, it's a good watch! :D.

I generally like these types of shows. I'm a huge fantasy nerd. There are clearly stylistic and thematic nods here to the lord of the rings and Guillermo del Toro that I thought were interesting, but kind of detracted from the story.

The biggest issue with this movie was the script and the dialog. The narrative seemed unfocused and sometimes like maybe there were multiple versions patched together. The pacing was sometimes good (more-so at the beginning), but often not. A good editor could have helped in the end as well.

The mood, sets, costumes, lighting, and visual effects were all pretty good considering that (I'm guessing) this show's budget was pretty minimal. The acting, while not great, is passable but I think could have been much better with a better script and dialog and perhaps directing.

Overall, passable but not great. I don't think it deserves 1 star, but I think the 6 I gave it were generous.

I almost didn't watch this film due to the reviews. Yet, my love for fantasy swayed my decision. I'm so glad my curiosity took over. This film is dark and moody atmospherically. For a small budget; the costume/set design/special effects were all done well. Could the actual story be more developed? Yes. That being said. By the end of this flick everything comes full circle. I personally felt the acting was fine. If you are only into big names on the screen and a 20 million dollar budget. This probably isn't for you. For me personally, this movie did everything it was supposed to. I was throughly entertained.
