The Gaelic King Movie Reviews

Entertaining low budget film

This movie is great for fans of the sword and sorcery genre, as well as fans of B-Movies.

The positives: strong acting with the exception of one or two awkward scenes. Right away this puts the movie ahead of most b-movies. The story is well done, straight forward, and entertaining. The music is great, particularly the song during closing credits.

The negatives: the fight scenes are entirely unbelieable. I’m not sure if any of the actors had previous stage fighting experience. Also, the special effects distract from the film, especially during the final battle scene.

If you’re the sort of viewer that doesn’t mind bad effects and unconvincing fight scenes you’ll you enjoy the movie.

Horrendous

A fantasy film that is far-fetched filth, hideous special effects, directing and acting comparable to garbage. The film does not entertain, it does not entertain, in practice it is just boring and in the end it leaves you absolutely nothing and you feel like you have just wasted time watching it.

Low budget venture with passion and heart …

This is a low budget venture. I say that to get it out of the way. There are reviewers, and plenty of them, who will attack a low budget venture because it doesn’t have multi-million dollar CGI or effects – which is ludicrous.

I understand parts of this were Crowdfunded. What we end up with is clearly made with passion and, as far as I’m concerned looks good, features solid acting throughout and an engaging story. Occasionally, some of the dialogue is obscured by the music, and some of the fight scenes don’t quite convince.

For all that, we have well written and really nicely played characters, and an effective villain (a Vampira-esque Kerry Browne as The Sorceress) and some good set pieces.

Director Philip Todd and other assorted Todds responsible for production and writing have done a commendable job and created something with passion and heart, enthusiastically played. My score is 7 out of 10.
