Kingslayer

Terribly cheaply produced B-movie about knights, which is so bad that it becomes laughable.

In all sincerity this shouldnt be called a movie and I bet it was intended for television only and that shows, because everything about this "movie" is inferior, from the story, to the direction, to the actors.

Walk on by folks, dont expect a knight movie, this is a laughable cheap surrogate...

Only the title is kinda interesting and it was the title hat fooled me into thinking this could be of some interest, BUT ofcourse it wasnt.

Fool me once...

Not any good then? NO NO NO. But if you wanna have a laugh go ahead and watch it...

Jarring cinematography coupled with poor direction, acting and script makes for a tedious experience. The scene where the woman is accosted by the group of armed women and men was particularly bad. The acting from the bearded guy that gets interrogated by the main protagonist at knife point while laying on the ground was amateur and devoid of truth.

I know its 2022 and we all expect a lil' wokeness as governed by the shadowy CEO from Blackrock and Vanguard, but the blatant rewriting of history to include sub-saharan immis is a fail. Do you wonder why the world hates your movies? Do you think you are doing justice to people by making up stories about a past King of England, who by the way, was a nasty piece of work. But I'm sure he wasn't as nasty as this movie, or its attempt to slip the public the misconception of Western history.

Beyond this, there are other bad elements, such as: -Bad character intro/development. What can I say about the non-introduction of characters? Its just not really there.

-Is the camera man infatuated with tree shots, or was he drunk? I don't understand why the director spent so much time filming the trees and bark. And near the end of each scene, the camera points up, giving the audience the view of the sky littered with branches obscuring the view, almost as obscure as the rest of this film.

-The plot is bad. Seriously, the non-king-yet Richard sneaks off to the woods to meet his horse trainer woman so they can get it on, but before that happens, the poor folk are there to assassinate him. Add the ugly man who rapes women, and the woman that cuts off his gnards. How liberating it must be, to emasculate all the men... how pathetic.

The acting is poor, but what does one expect when the director is bad at his/hers/theirs/whatever job? I mean, I could see the actors were trying, but I bet it was a hard job working with that director. So I suppose the actors probably put up with a lot of crap just to get paid; c'est la vie.

But is it? Is this what modern film making is now? Just the rewriting of history so that gobs of the population become woke?

We, the people, reject this attempt to rewrite history and also hate this movie.

Director is to blame for a lot of this, but the wokeness is disingenuous to say the least.

The appalling acting is this movie is only matched by the equally appalling editing along with a plot so full of holes you could sieve pasta through it. It's as if a bunch of amateurs got together in a wood behind their homes and had the idea of making a movie.

Supposedly set in late 12th century England 2 days before his coronation as King Richard decides to go deep into a forest to spend time with his lover. Without horses seemingly. Why? No explanation. Without guards too. Why? England was in turmoil and about the only fact the movie gets right is that Richard's hold on the throne is tenuous indeed. His major competitor is his brother John as anyone familiar with the Robin Hood movies will know.

The plot, such as it is, comprises Richard and his lover trying to make their way home through the forest fighting off attackers. Had they not inexplicably left their horses at home they would have had no problem. But then there would be no movie. Deus ex Machina in reverse.

The acting is dreadful and the editing worse. You can almost see the joins. As for the acript I don't think there was one - they just made it up as they go along.

I gave it 2 stars since I actually sat through it on a long flight. Otherwise please do not waste your time.

The story was kinda good and I liked the idea of the storyline , the whole Film had a bit of an amateurish feel about it, but was an interesting watch. I didn't really feel the romance from the two leads and found the whole thing a bit muddled took me a while to get to grips with who was double crossing who! The main actor seemed a little out of his depth and his beard was a bit distracting but my favourite part of the whole experience was the music it actually made it for me and I've downloaded some of the composers music. So in short my review is 5 for the film but a 10 for the soundtrack shame it's not available to download.
