Reviews
Develiker terrible... so disappointed.
Bardlerx Strictly average movie
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Leofwine_draca MORNING STAR WARRIOR is a cheap historical adventure made by an indie team in Italy. It was given a fine looking cover for UK release but anyone interested should check out the 'produced by Uwe Boll' credit and let it serve as a warning. This is terrible stuff indeed; a film featuring a bunch of disappointed actors wandering around a rural landscape and occasionally fighting one another. It's clearly designed in the same style as GAME OF THRONES or VIKINGS, but it has not one ounce of the same style and the story is interminably dull. Amateur hour all round.
coolfortza Wow! Who does this type of stuff? I mean, It's marvelous! The ambiance is just about perfect. Men on the battlefield in the beginning. The movie raises more questions you could ever answer. How neat is that? And I'm NOT jesting.The woman comes along. "She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning." Uriah Heep. Did I get it correctly. Anywayz. I'm not a moron. Convinced? Actually the movie tells beautifully how war never solves anything and all the participants already know what they should do but are afraid to act.As I understood the man killed the king. That was neat. Absolutely amazing. There are many things in this movie that raises eyebrows. It's a workout for your face and it has leather and rivets on the gear. What more could you ask. Ambiance. Yes as I mentioned earlier. It is great and I like to watch mysterious people walking into dirty ponds! You've done it. You've exploded the cork off multiple champagne-bottles.Talk about stuff people.
sendmemailhereplease People ask what the movie is about with confusion... It incorporates two main elements. In mythology, the morning star is the woman who watches over the warrior in battle. We see her at the start. She grants him favor at dawn... basically, he gets to live. This is what is assumed.According to the myth, there is a king's hall. It closes for the night to protect from the great wolf. The same wolf haunts Odin and is kept at bay by Tyr. The wolf is always the same. He is our fear and our aspiration combined as one entity.The king warns him that freewill does not allow for placing blame upon anyone other than yourself. This is important to the myth. The wolf is free and the king is killed. The man faces his fear and holds his freewill to his own. As the king commends him on finally taking his own choice.It is clear now that the major theme is the Sermon of the Mount. The morning star had always been Jesus and not evil. We witness society and the man work threw this dilemma that created Lucifer out of Christ. He talks of the great city on the hill. The followers are the lights of the city. The main character finally sees this great city which is a modern shining city.The sermon preaches that actions do not make the man, but his heart is what is true. In each act, he has chosen righteousness over the accepted rule of men toward what was called sin. The sermon also explains that perfection is the goal of man that he stands fully liberated. There he finally has reached that point and there he sees society ahead that has also broken free of fear and archaic beliefs.He sees that it was never his friend being carried. It was always himself. It was never witches, women, priests, nor any other thing haunting him, it was all his own burden. What mattered most was his own conviction and that he could accept those choices without guilt and move forward toward peace. This is why he does not stop or continue to embrace the woman that he finally recognizes.There are a lot of points in the movie. This is the best that I can do to elaborate some of the key issues. He awoke a pitiful man with no heroic quality. Through the light of the morning star (viewed as evil by most and Christ by others) he finally became heroic and honorable. This is the man we are left to see walking away.
kbishop12 I have watched a lot of bad movies in my time, this one is right at the worst of them. This movie makes no sense at all. There are times i think I could see what they were trying to do here, but it falls so short that I can"t quite be sure. The acting was bad enough that you think it almost had to be on purpose, the only person who was believable was Ivy Corbin in her role as the witch. Solid job there Ivy! The action scenes were rough to watch, as I felt like my ten year old could have bested them with his toy sword. Save yourself some time and skip this one. I did think that the main character seeing a modern city at the end was cool, but they just skimmed right over this. A real shame, because that could have added a neat element to the premise!!
