Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Yes, all the one and two-star reviews nailed it. This is essentially a disaster from start to finish. The costumes look like something made in an afternoon out of Hefty bags (seriously, I think they used Hefty bags for capes) and bedsheets. The acting is the usual c-movie amateur hour stuff you'd expect to see during the first hour of the first class of a community college Drama 101 course - it's so bad, I have actually watched it three times in two days - like passing a car accident, you can't look away.Also, keep a close eye on the old man... if you want a laugh, pay attention to how much he seems to be really, really hands-on with his nubile young protégée. lurking in his bedroom, creepily watching the young DK sleep... massaging him.... even some light S&M ("im going to teach you about endurance to pain" he says, having just knocked the young DK out and climbing on him, helpless on the floor)... kind of like a pervy old Alfred, from Batman.Also, for the first time in any review I've ever written about a c-movie, I have to say this is easily the first instance in which the lack of a competent makeup artist actually broke the fourth wall (this movie and its heavy overuse of close-ups in most scenes came off more like a Clearasil commercial than anything else - the zit count in this video is almost a drinking game in itself - drink every time you see a zit in a close-up). The film actually did not have a makeup artist - only a special effects guy labeled "Makeup Department" (no, Im not kidding - check out IMDb). I think everyone in the film suffered some allergic, zit-inducing reaction to the script. Why they felt it necessary to include incest in the plot, I still cannot explain (no, not kidding there, either).But, Im gonna try and offer some positives amidst the already well-covered and plentiful flaws of this video (sorry... I can't bring myself to call this a film). First, the music really was not half-bad (this being relative, of course) for such a nil-budget, weekend shoot - if you can ignore the fact that for about 50% of the video the music is so loud you can't hear the dialog. Second, they did try to make the most with nothing and I appreciate the effort. Third, a couple of the actors were not atrocious (the African-American computer guy, for example), though most were.Far and away the best part of this project was (as is often the case) the DVD cover artwork.Make no mistake: this is not a Batman movie - it's like Batman filmed by escaped mental patients.

I could not make it through the first 2 minutes without turning it off. So this review is for the first 2 minutes only. 2/10 stars is sufficient to tell you:1) The movie is not worth the time I just wrote this. But I am writing this so that you will not watch more than the 2 minutes.2) If you believe this was a grade school assignment, then it is definitely merits 2 stars for sheer effort. 3) If anyone who was involved in creating, producing and selling this movie are to read this, please try doing something else for your own sake.

This movie makes me long for Ed Wood.The only reason I want info about this middle school grade movie is to track down the people who made this movie and have their Internet cut off.This is NOT YouTube..... Delete it from IMDb. (I don't care if they're paying customers.)I'm forced to write a whole ten lines about this to have it accepted as a review. I could write 10 lines but they'd get me banned from here in the blink of an eye.Here are a few things wrong in the 1st 2 minutes: - No sound effects in the opening fight scene. Well, there is, but only between music clips. - The main bad guy has so many festering pimples, I wanted to woof my cookies. No.... it isn't makeup. He even has a few scabbed over on his ear lobes. - My 10 year old made his own costume for Halloween that was better (really). They should have hired him. - Instead of running away from a discovered bomb, they have time to gaze into each other's eyes, hold hands and wait for the explosion. But it makes sense if it was suicide for being suckered into acting in this movie.

Easily the most awful movie made in years. Devoid of plot, good acting, intelligent writing, good action or even good-looking stars, one can only ask why this movie was made. With a threadbare plot based loosely on some kind of psychic rebirth of the Black Knight, who fights crime, the movie rambles on for nearly 90 minutes on nothing but the naked audacity of its makers. Any two clowns on the street could manage more realistic fight sequences than are staged here. The quality of this movie is not even bad-funny, just too bad for human viewing. As of this review, 7 viewers have, on average, managed to give this film just over 5 stars. I can only ask: are you kidding? A high school film class could easily best this effort. If I could have rated it zero, I would have. Do yourself a favor and forget you ever saw this title on IMDb.
