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.

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.

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.

Although a slow start, I was totally engrossed about mid-movie. It held my attention to the end. For some honor and saving honor is a noble cause to live by. Not an easy course. The action was also quite good.

Lousy ending. Rubbish Emperor. I couldn't hear half of the actors lines.They should have killed him too. Very obvious who was going to die.

This film is something I often drift back to, it is a wonderful story of honor and valor, if you are expecting it to be over flowing with action, flashy colors, and mushy emotions then this movie will not meet your expectations. But if you are among those who want to see a film depicting stoicism, duty, brotherhood, and justice. Then you have found a film to add to your collection. Each character portrayed was able to draw me in. Those overly whining and nit-picking about this movie should stick to their marvel and star wars.

I have not seen or heard of it before. I loved it. There was not too much gore(as I'm a laydee) Clive Owen , is believable as the warrior, who bides his time, and you route for him. Morgan freeman adds the grandiose of an aging ,/ill Lord. Its a film about the bravery and nobility of a time gone by. The subject matter may not be new but it was easily a slick take on the genre of Kingdoms and warriors. The antagonist is as slimy as they come, and the role is played well. One comes away feeling you have watched a classic and will watch again
