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

Every now and then I want to give some B movie the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes it turns out great, sometimes it doesn't. This is on of the latter.Story: four crusaders (no idea which crusade, since their costumes are a hotch potch of anachronistic equipment) are on their way back from the holy land, only to come across a village full of hot looking MILFS who's sons and husbands have disappeared. The crusaders, of course after some disagreements, decide to stay and help the MILF in distress.The movie then slowly drags along with endless silly conversations, one of the warriors performing a (badly choreographed) weapon practice or one of the damsels falling in love with one of our heroes. The entire middle 1/3rd of the movie is a giant bore lacking any kind of flow.There are some nice scenery shots here and there, but they could not safe this crapfest. Maybe if one of the MIFLS in distress would go naked it would rank a bit higher in score, but I guess that was too much to ask.2/10

I am always willing to enjoy a low budget movie as long as I get an entertaining story. I am not too hard to please. This seems to be a modest made-for-TV UK production. As such, you can count on it having a solid cast of UK/European actors that play their parts well. I found no fault at all with any of the actors, and felt all brought life to their roles very well.A pleasant surprise was the appearance of Game of Thrones' "Hodor".If you have ever played D&D role-playing games, you will enjoy this Middle Age story of a group of ex-crusader warriors that are on a journey to return to their respective homes; but encounter a troubled village in their journey.Ill agree with another reviewer's comment that some of the fight scenes could have been staged & choreographed a little better. But, considering that this movie was shot in only 16 days (!), I can certainly cut some slack there. I did feel that the encounters with the demons were pretty tense.By the end of the movie I gave a little clap of my hands and felt overall this was a pleasant use of my 2 hours I spent watching it.

The dialogue is a bit weak here and there, but not absolutely terrible, considering. The story itself is not particularly engaging. The acting itself was OK, all things considered, and above par for a low budget movie. The fight scenes, however, were ridiculous -- swing a sword like you mean it, man! The final fight was just as ridiculous.I will say that I thought it was mostly well shot and edited, though, everything considered.I found most of the characters personable which offers a certain amount of redemption to the film, and of them I liked the Mule although I spent the first 30 minutes wondering why they had him carrying around a bundle of wood when there is wood all over the flippin' place...
