Alexander Dreymon reprises his lead role as the great warrior Uhtred of Bebbanburg, who must ride once more across a fractured kingdom with several of the series' much-loved returning characters, as they battle alongside, and against, new allies and enemies. Following the death of King Edward, a battle for the crown ensues, as rival heirs and invaders compete for power. And when an alliance comes seeking Uhtred's help in their plans, Uhtred faces a choice between those he cares for most, and the dream of forming a united England.

The movie delivers viscerally exciting fight scenes and a strong sense of what life was like in an ancient, unsettled world.

“The Last Kingdom” mistakes the mere presence of blood for a compelling narrative.

Where “Seven Kings Must Die” is most interesting... is in its approach to religion, sexuality and culture.

The movie is a rushed mess, trampling over characters from the show, throwing together a conflict that is both jarring and unnecessary, and creating stakes that feel forced at best. It’s hard to care about any of it.

B

A gripping epic history drama on England is set in the turbulent days of the 10th century.

3/5

The movie Seven Kings Must Die wraps up the Netflix show The Last Kingdom with a corny flourish that’s not always successful and mostly echoes the high points of the show during its peak.

O regresso do Uhtred e as batalhas sangrentas apelam à nostalgia, mas o ritmo é terrivelmente apressado. Tentar fechar a saga compactando uma temporada num filme de duas horas estragou o desenvolvimento da história e o peso do desfecho.

I wish I had not watched this. The ending to Season 5 was satisfying enough. This film was disappointing in many ways, depth, dialogue, plot development. It would have been better as a miniseries. The gay sub plot was unnecessary and added nothing, but Netflix loves it's woke DEI. The ending, however, was well done.

It is Sad to see a great show turned to garbage and ruined, pushing a gay agenda. It actually upsets me. Netflix always has to throw some stupid gay shit out of nowhere that does not add anything to the show/movie plot and is certainly not historically accurate what so ever. It is distasteful and I skipped those disgusting scenes. I really can’t tell you not to watch enough, especially with family.

Wish I could give this movie negative stars. Sad to see a great show turned to garbage and ruined. It actually upsets me. Netflix always has to throw some stupid gay agenda shit out of nowhere that does not add anything to the show/movie plot what so ever. Distasteful and terrible can’t tell you not to watch enough. Came back to edit and write another review that’s how PO off this movie made me. Absolute garbage I can’t believe it. They pretty much ruined the show and actors because of this movie. Actors are sellouts should be ashamed they let them do this to their great work on the show. Can’t believe I wasted my time. Horrible. NEGATIVE STARS I was so hyped for this movie.
