User Reviews Of Last Knights:

Welcomings again from the darkness. Medieval action movies seem to be hit and overlook. The most excellent have complex power and sub-plots struggles punctuated with large scale sword-fight series, while the lesser movies typically offer little more than clanking sound effects and faux castle settings. Falling someplace in-between is this newest from director Kazuaki Kiriya. For by any means reason, the massive sets and timely costumes do not make up for the dawdling pace and scarce exploit sequences. The cast is extremely strong and includes Clive Owen, Axsel Hennie, Shohreh Aghdashlo, Peyman Moaddi,Cliff Curtis, Morgan Freeman, Tsuyoshi Ihara, Sung-Kee Ahn, Noah Silver and Ayelet Zurer. Mr. Freeman narrates a slightly mystifying opening that sets the stage for a multi-racial time stage that is commonly referred to after the "great wars". We almost immediately enough learn that Freeman's Lord Bartok is one of the superior guys under the Emperor's reign of extortion creature carried out by the weasely Minister Gezza Mott. Refusing to be conventional to Gezza's game, Bartok is shamed and, umm … relieved of his duties – in a manner be suitable the period. Bartok's loyal Commander Raiden and the extra followers are cast out of their homes. Watching Owen drop into a drunken slumber oblivious to civilization goes against all instincts we have for the gracious warrior who is so dedicated to "The Code", however it is the most fun offered by the movie outside of the two main struggle sequences. Mr. Owen and his continually furrowed brow seem a bit too high class for this movie, only because everything also should be stamped with the "Acme" symbol made so accepted by Wile E Coyote. In spite of the best efforts of the cast, the story lacks real feeling and the spectacularly elaborate plan for retribution is not given the attention it deserves … though I so was hoping somebody would scream "Have fun attack the castle, boys!"

The opportunity fight scene is well staged and leaves us wanting additional, but the remain is well over an hour … display time filled with bleak, gray scenes of not a great deal happening. Gezza Mott's lead henchman does find a very spirited contest with Raiden, other than the final showdown among Raiden and Mott is a important letdown and a minor payoff for remaining confident through two hours.
