Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Admirable film.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Fantasy has to be the most underused genre these days, it's so rare to see one grace the silver screen and even straight to DVD movies are few and far between compared to every other genre.The Four Warriors tells the story of *Drumroll* four warriors who come to the aid of a town where all the men and children have been taken during the night by unseen forces.Lots of character development is on display but very little else.It all looks the part as they often do, from the locations to the costumes it certainly looks authentic but when it comes to actual sfx it lacks. Thankfully it avoids CGI but its practical sfx are really poor and let the movie down.The Four Warriors is nothing to write home about and certainly doesn't do anything to help the representation of fantasy movies but isn't as bad as most of the reviews would suggest.Bad, but not THAT bad.The Good:Settings are greatThe Bad:Kristian Nairn"Demons" look terribleHas no real flowThings I Learnt From This Movie:"God & fighting do not go together" has to be the most ironic line I've ever heard in a movie.............ever
I am always willing to enjoy a low budget movie as long as I get an entertaining story. I am not too hard to please. This seems to be a modest made-for-TV UK production. As such, you can count on it having a solid cast of UK/European actors that play their parts well. I found no fault at all with any of the actors, and felt all brought life to their roles very well.A pleasant surprise was the appearance of Game of Thrones' "Hodor".If you have ever played D&D role-playing games, you will enjoy this Middle Age story of a group of ex-crusader warriors that are on a journey to return to their respective homes; but encounter a troubled village in their journey.Ill agree with another reviewer's comment that some of the fight scenes could have been staged & choreographed a little better. But, considering that this movie was shot in only 16 days (!), I can certainly cut some slack there. I did feel that the encounters with the demons were pretty tense.By the end of the movie I gave a little clap of my hands and felt overall this was a pleasant use of my 2 hours I spent watching it.
Oh dear, they did try, bless them. This film is so bad its actually funny. If it had been marketed as a satire of the warrior/action film genre and had thrown in a few Monty Pyton style gags, it might have even been a minor hit. By and large for me at least, the only way to watch this film from end to end is to treat it as a comedy of errors. Bad sets, bad costumes, hilarious fight scenes and generally chuckle worthy acting. Its the kind of production you might expect the Lower Putney Medieval Enactment Society to put on after a minor win at Lotto.My advice, watch this one when you have had a few beers and you are in the mood for a laugh. You wont be disappointed. One out of ten from me.
Let's be honest, The Four Warriors is a low budget project that barely able to produce basic fantasy script. It's arduously slow and rigidly acted while the action part consists of the participant randomly flailing sword. Basically, it's a group of people reciting tired fantasy plot like a costume play.The plot follows four soldiers, survivors of the Crusade who must now take arms again to defend the innocents. An hour is spent talking about stuffs off-screen, the mandatory evil abductor and some relics of the past. These guys practically narrate the entire time, and when it comes to interaction between characters, the acting is amateurish at best.Merely talking will definitely not get the tension rolling, unfortunately the battle sequences don't fare better. Action is less than ten minutes of sword hurling, which is more painful to watch than to actually receive the blow. They also use slow motion to better capture the feeble combat.This is, by all means, a small personal project from the cast, not remotely a fantasy flick for casual viewing.
