This is an unrelentingly dour take on the fantasy genre, ditching the wizards, dragons and rampant nudity - aka, the fun stuff.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out

This thing is so garbled and goofy it plays like a parody. Except it's not.
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

"Last Knights" is so thoroughly mediocre, so dully empty, that it's difficult to summon the enthusiasm to trash it. And yet, duty calls.

Once upon a time, filmmakers had the luxury of giving their genre movies time to breathe; you don't see much of that on a big scale any more. I loved this movie, warts and all.

A movie this silly should be prefaced with an apology: "Um, about Last Knights ... "
