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.

Good, solid movie. If you're at all considering a medieval action drama, don't hesitate to watch this one.

A good evening watch. Not challenging in any way but not intended to be. Some people get too pompous about films. They don't have to be works of art or display the ultimate in acting skills. This was just a good story to follow, well filmed and good action scenes. I just sat back after dinner with a glass of wine and it entertained me. I ask no more.

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.
