Last Knights (2015)

Last Knights is so thoroughly mediocre, so dully empty, that it’s difficult to summon the enthusiasm to trash it.

Its cast aside, Last Knights proves as square and blandly manly as an old “Prince Valiant” comic strip. Mr. Owen’s hairdo and the faint smile edging his lips are more fetching than anything about Val, and the movie’s violence is more explicit than in most vintage comics, but “Knights” also works by combining narrative simplicity with moral certitude and appealing graphics.

It will be hard for audiences to remain even vaguely attentive during this slog of a feudal vengeance tale.

There’s no reason for a film with a plot this simple to drag on to the two-hour mark. In a movie filled with public executions, that running time qualifies as truly cruel and unusual punishment.

The medieval-tinged adventure Last Knights will test your patience for speeches about honor, grim declarations of loyalty and pre-battle glowering.

This ponderous drama from director Kazuaki Kiriya quickly gets weighed down by its own blood-drenched armor.

While Kiriya can shoot a sword fight, his preferred pace is glacial. He wants to make sure the audience feels every plot point.

Last Knights is a fairly ludicrous mystery and a so-so action movie, but it’s nonetheless been constructed with an earnest attention to detail that shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Last Knights is little more than a dutifully compiled collection of genre conventions, its tale of a group of brave knights seeking vengeance for their fallen leader so undemanding that it’s almost charmingly pedestrian.

Another macho celebration of fighting for "freedom" because someone else told you to, devoid of any acknowledgement of the inherent irony of that ideology.

几乎就是日本家喻户晓的《忠臣藏》故事的改编版啊，场景移到了欧洲，背景虚化，人物多元化。一些配角给到了韩国人，大概是制片团队里有韩国人员的关系吧。拍的又臭又长，真的不适合欧洲文化拿来挪用啊。

和朋友聊起宇多田光时候，说到了这位导演前夫，然后看到了这部电影……情节简单，耿直的角色

很奇怪的组合，韩国当年主导的合拍片，也是除了演员阵容强，总体显得很古怪，极为一般，

这个卧薪尝胆这么长时间的意义在哪里？就是为了等对方把堡垒建起来，然后展示一下自己攻破堡垒的能力？最后的剪辑，究竟是回家了还是被砍了？皇上为什么要最后见他一面？

前面太沉闷了，复仇阶段还不错

感觉不错，想起《47浪人》。最后杀摄政王那段很酷。

骑士死没？

出乎意料地好。剧情、逻辑、动作都令人惊喜，主角不开挂，boss速战速决。难得不俗套也很爽的电影。

其实是不错的影片，虽然可能中间不够精彩。到后面真的很励志感人。我都眼睛湿润了一两次。

还有下部吗？卧薪尝胆有点长

骑士精神还可以

2015.08.01 很傻的电影，情节幼稚、设定奇葩、逻辑诡异、拍摄手法十分做作，但这种为践行某一精神而慷慨赴死的调调实在很戳我，后半段的复仇部分英勇到令人飙泪。Owen叔太适合演这类角色了。

这阵容让我恍惚在看N年前多国部队达拉斯小牛队的比赛。也就韩国人能拍出这个范儿来

克里夫欧文 这几年你哪里去了

硬坳高大上 全世界人都在讲英国话 剧情简单 设置粗糙 演员全程绷着脸 一下回到解放前感觉 黑人影帝这回依旧是解说

叽里咕的第一部西片，居然拍了部忠臣藏。美术和置景略简陋，故事中规中矩，最后还是拍成个复仇故事了。看样子莫非还要拍续集？

比《47浪人》还难看。

日本导演用韩国演员在中世纪玩幕府，美国人以为这算是权力的游戏。中国人说，这不是明朝那些事儿吗？

什么情况，4月3日美国上映，网络上已经有片源下载了
