Sword of Vengeance (2015)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The Worst Film Ever

Simply A Masterpiece

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Sword of Vengeance is a revenge story. That's pretty much it. It isn't complicated, there are no real twists and turns in the road as you watch. To be honest, it's completely predictable. But that doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad movie, but it doesn't lend much to the viewer.Jim Weedon's cinematic entry is a short piece about the Normans and Saxons after decades of war, violence and death. Stanley Weber plays the lead character; Shadow Walker, a swordsman on an path of retribution for the death of a loved one, and honour bound not to break his oath of revenge.Not much happens in this movie. It's very A to B to C, and the flashbacks throughout don't lend much to the overall plot. It's simple, and some viewers might like that, but in my opinion it's a little too vague throughout. It's unclear, and it may entirely turn off the viewer by the end. Although there is some decent swordplay and some well choreographed fight scenes to keep the viewer entertained. But the dialogue is seriously lacking and several actors seem very untrained at best.What is interesting is they visual aspect in this movie. There is a nice contrast between very light and very dark in every frame. A lot of close up visuals of their faces really lend to the grit and violence that the men and women in the film endure. There are some very nice shots full of such visual beauty, that it really surprised me at times.A rather forgetful little film, but I believe Jim Weedon has a lot to offer in the future.5/10

I personally thought the idea was great, but the execution was random and not done very well or thought out. The effects were amazing, but this movie was really lacking in plot. There was so much that could have happened here, but they failed at it. I would like someone who could execute this movie well and be able to redo it. I think it would be worth the effort. The actors themselves weren't the problem. I think more the writing and the vision they had of this movie just didn't come across to everyone very well. If you find yourself bored I would say go ahead and watch it. It is one of those movies that makes you both love and still leaves you scratching your head and say, well...Maybe not LOVE it. That is the only reason I gave it a 7 and not less. The writing was poorly done in this movie.

As one poster stated, lots of powder, but not much bang. All the cute tricks of off angles, dark grey coloring, moody lighting and extreme close ups. But where does a band of ragged rebels find the oil, the iron, the food, and more while trying to fight off the enemy? The story line goes all over the place, pitting family loss against family loss in feud form. Crude tools and grit against superior numbers and horses. Without the soundtrack to create the mood, there wouldn't be much sense to some of the "action". Actors in grubby clothing running through a field. One aspect it does catch well is the primitive life and offers some pretty good fighting moves. The acting is mostly grunts and threats and screams. No much nuance! But it is different and entertaining. Worth a relaxed watch.

Sword of Vengeance is shot almost entirely in slow motion. Characters perceive time differently from us, as they feel the need to dramatically walk, talk and stare at each other while posing at the camera. Visual is all shades of gray, while this might be stylish at first, it overstays its welcome by the fifteen minutes mark, by then the main character probably have taken his fifth slow-mo steps. Story is thin at best, with average runtime and majority of it is painful slow-mo, the film barely has any substance to offer.An outsider comes to a village, he beats up a few thugs, makes a speech and fights tyranny. This simple premise is flawed by the first couple of scenes. The outsider dispatches people easily at one point, only to be jumped by a random extra and got whooped in the next. Considering that everyone moves as though they are in fashion show, it's borderline comedy this near superhuman can be even wounded, his plot armor must have worn off.Acting is equivalent of cardboard box, but at least one could draw smiley or sad faces at a box. To be fair, it's not the actors' fault, the script barely gives anyone personality aside from one-dimensional extra from Vikings or 300. Story is heavily predictable, and the title helps by giving it away. There could be some underlying message of vengeance here but it's buried by the piles of slow-mo spam.The fight is mediocre, either it's slow or shaky cam. There's barely logic in this as well, people swing and charge recklessly. Soundtracks are mesh between electronic and techno. It's a strange style and could've worked better if the movie had ordinary pace. Cinematography is different shots of a forest, some with all trees, a few buildings and its interior. The film tries too hard on creating cool shots, it is literally nothing but slow motion.Watching Sword of Vengeance is more like looking at slideshow of concept art, which may be edgy in modesty, but not for entire movie. Alternatively, one could watch Robin Hood in half speed or compilation of fights from 300, any of those should prove more interesting.
