Sobre aquesta pel·lícula

KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM follows three best friends (Peter Dinklage, Steve Zahn and Ryan Kwanten) and dedicated LARPers (Live Action Role Players) as they take to the woods to reenact a dungeons and dragons-like scenario fresh out of the mythical Middle Ages. Trouble arises after they unwittingly conjure up some serious evil in the form of a blood-lusting Succubus, from the pits of hell. Fantasy and reality collide on the Fields of Evermore in an all-out epic battle of make-believe wizards, demons and assorted mythical creatures. Their courage and friendship is put to the test as they attempt to vanquish the evil they have summoned. Will the group prove to simply be foam sword-wielding LARPers, or true "Knights of Badassdom?"

I was one of the fans who had been following this movie as it was going through some seriously heinous crimes of red-tape and bait & switch with producers and the like. Regardless, I was very happy with the movie once I was finally able to sit and watch it on-demand. Rock solid story, a killer cast, the special effects were above average, but it was the dialog delivery provided by the actors that really did seal the deal for this movie. This is a great concept movie pointed directly at every level of a gaming target group. If your not a gamer, you might not get all the jokes; I loved the movie and would like to see a sequel.

I watched Knights of Badassdom tonight and I enjoyed it. I think it suffers a bit like The Big Bang Theory in that it makes fun of geeks rather than having a laugh with them, but that didn't stop me from having fun with this movie. The effects are rather Syfy channel but the acting is solid, the story works, the jokes made me chuckle. I like this movie. I'm happy to have seen it.

This movie had a lot of promise, but was caught in development-limbo by a meddling studio. The CEO of the company re-edited the film so badly the director has been denouncing the finished film for years. Don't waste your money.
