Critics Consensus

As blandly unimaginative as its title, Last Knights revisits well-worn sword-and-sandal tropes without adding anything new -- or interesting -- to the genre.

Tom Huddleston

Time Out

This is an unrelentingly dour take on the fantasy genre, ditching the wizards, dragons and rampant nudity - aka, the fun stuff.

Rated: 2/5

This thing is so garbled and goofy it plays like a parody. Except it's not.

"Last Knights" is so thoroughly mediocre, so dully empty, that it's difficult to summon the enthusiasm to trash it. And yet, duty calls.

Rated: 1.5/4

Kiriya's film moves through well-known paths, creating a nice movie that doesn't exaggerate in its digital effects nor treats the viewer like a fool. [Full Review in Spanish]

Dear Cast and Crew

The only thing that might have saved this film from being a complete snooze-fest would have been some unintentional humour, but Last Knights doesn't even have the decency to be camp.

Rated: 1/5

Last Knights is both better and worse than Outcast, aka That One With Nicolas Cage and Hayden Christensen and Truly Awful Haircuts.

Boring, dull, seems like the actors sleep walked their way through it. Morgan Freeman needs to retire. Clive Owen was about as animated as a sloth.

I Honestly don’t understand the hate this movie received or its low box office success. It’s genuinely a good movie, really heartfelt and has an interesting story/take that was loosely based off the 47 ronin. Worth the watch 100%. We need a 2nd movie asap.

It’s ok - honestly. In a world where film seems to have lost the meaning of “films” this is a nice break away.

Was pleasantly surprised with this low budget film. A couple of plot twists, a heroic sacrifice and a general distain for a common enemy. If you miss early 2000s movies this film will take you back to a simpler time.

What a disappointment it must have been to produce something of this quality only to have it go right over the heads of most lunk-headed critics and many viewers corrupted by digital glitz and technicolor dreck. The most common complaint seems to be that this is dull and they’ve seen it all before. To which I can only respond that either you weren’t paying attention or your brain has been broken by the MCU. This is one of the best sword and sandal epics in the genre. A real hidden gem. The silent assault on the fortress is worth the wait. Put your phones down and try to focus.
