Highly enjoyed "The Gaelic King"! It's a really good film for everyone to watch, especially if you live in and around Scotland. I also found it amazing how far a small budget can stretch... The only slight issue I had (I can't tell if it was with the amazon video upload of the film or my TV..) was that from 08:34 to 13:33 there was a slight problem with the white balance but I think that it was actually on my TV. In conclusion, I thoroughly enjoyed this film!

this "film" is terrible, borders on depressing to think that money although not a lot was spent on this. a title with a thousand possibilities and reading the previous reviews, you would think the title.... the actors are unknown yes, but they are bad to boot, i know the budget is low, but please, it was unbearable, effects are more so, but it is the story that takes the prize, watch it drunk or high and you may even laugh otherwise steer clear

Having watched 10 minutes of this flick my one and only reaction was "oh dear".....In my opinion this really is an amateur effort.It reminds me of the sort of thing you might expect a volunteer dramatic society to put on for the oldies. That said, it would not matter how old I got I don't think I could sit through The Garlic King or Gaelic King or whatever this is supposed to be. My advice steer well clear. One out of ten from me.

Considering the budget for this film, I thought it was pretty good. While I noticed a couple of continuity errors (hey, you see them in big budget films, too), and had some sound issues (on my TV, anyway... sometimes the music was louder than the actors' voices), on the whole I really enjoyed it as a fantasy story told quite well. It had humour, light and darkness... all aspects which make for an entertaining 90 minutes. It's nicely filmed, with beautiful scenery in Scotland of course. And the original music was especially good.I hope that the lad who played the youngest prince will continue his career in acting, he has presence.Interesting flash at the very end, after the credits... a sequel in the planning, perhaps?
