Nice effects though.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

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

Terrible script, laughable acting talent and childish make up. This film is so bad that it is like a poor school play. I stuck with it over three days as I kept falling asleep watching it. I persevered simply because I could not believe how bad it was and wanted to see whether there was anything good. In the end I discovered something - the reason Odo in Game of Thrones has no lines is because he's a useless actor. Positively the worst film I have ever seen and if I could give it a minus score I would. The location was not bad I suppose - but then that's nature. The monsters were worse than a 1960s Doctor Who special effect trial. The few special effects they tried were silly. All I can say is bad bad bad bad bad.

OK, so this isn't a big budget production. In fact, it's probably a 'micro-budget' production. But what I really enjoyed about it is that the filmmakers didn't let that limit the scale of their story. The people who made this film obviously love big, epic fantasy films... and they decided to make one despite the budgetary limitations. And they did a really good job! Some of the baddies makeup effects don't quite come off and let it down a little, but this is an enjoyable ensemble film with some very nicely written bits of buddy-movie dialogue that could very easily be in a Hollywood blockbuster. And the relationships between the four warrior characters are nicely drawn, with the characters well acted.It's also nicely shot, with good use of locations - which usually let lower budget films down.If you only like fantasy films with $100m budgets and thousands of CGI warriors going into battle etc, then this probably won't be for you.But if you enjoy fantasy stories and buddy movies give it a try.

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.
