Alicia I love this movie so much
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Leofwine_draca SEVENTH SWORD is another of those cheap medieval films made on a budget just above that of a typical indie. The main characters are a group of adventurers returning home in the Middle Ages, only to fall foul of a sinister plot that causes them to fight their way out. It's extraordinarily cheap and limited in terms of plotting, cinematography, and intent, and the dialogue which just goes on and on and on is really, really boring. The worst thing about this? It was made in Malta, which is very unusual, so you wish they'd come up with something better.
Rainey Dawn As others have mentioned, the story is a bit lacking - could have used a bit more "spice" but overall it's a good watch for someone like myself. I actually liked the film.This is basic Knight, Sword, Shield and Fair Maiden film - a romance in the making when he (Tristan) sees her (Adormidera)for the first time. 5 men returning home from battle and now have to defend their homeland against an army - along with the woman they are compelled to help. Why are their soldiers after her? Who is she exactly? There are a few good battle scenes along with love story... it just needs a bit tiny bit more zest to the story and it would have been superior - but the film is great as it is.8.5/10
Booboo Bear This work is sickeningly awfully in every aspect. Many people from Malta and friends of the team must have voted.The script is poor, the plot lacks proper development, the dialogues are sickly, the acting is amateurish... I can go into more detail and cover elements such as filming techniques, colour and sound but I'll spare you all that.The director also resorted to the idea of employing some kind of fake, working-class English accent which can be anachronistically and distastefully hilarious for a very short while but it gets overbearing and tedious right away.How did that famous tenor Joseph Calleja accept a role in this Z movie? Has he lost all self-respect?There should never have been a theatre release and the team should have reserved this film for their own personal use.
Ron Smith The basis of the story is fine. You have a group of five soldiers who reunite after a long battle and decide to travel back to their town together. What's lacking at this point already is the back-story. We don't know who was in battle or even the reason they were fighting, all we know is that they are now returning home.It's very clear even just through his mannerism during his first appearance on screen that Tristan is an army commander and thus he will be also leading his men back. A flawless and very enjoyable character interpretation by the young Maltese actor which in my opinion "saves" the movie, because although there is a lack of structure in the story itself, interestingly Tristan's character becomes the main subject where his inner conflicts begin to emerge when he comes face-to-face with a lord who prompts a memory of a very unpleasant past.
