This movie is simultaneously extremely stupid and awesome. Although "Kick-Ass" is much better, this movie is for epic fantasy what "Kick-Ass" is for the superhero genre. If you like FRP, LARP, epic fantasy, B horrors and heavy metal, or if you were the fan of "Todd and the Book of Pure Evil" series, this is something you simply must not miss.In the middle of some forest nowhere a big live-action fantasy role play tournament is held, but one of the "wizards" accidentally uses the real spell and the innocent game turns into real bloodshed. Story and characters are not particularly well-developed and everything is two-dimensional, so in combination with a small budget we get a production fiasco. On the other hand, the idea is great, the gore scenes are fun and the cast is fantastic. In the leading roles there are legendary Tyrion Lannister, nerdy Steve Zahn, then Ryan Kwanten and cutest sexy ballerina Summer Glau, whom I am in love with since the "Firefly" series.I rate it seven, which is the average grade between its objective (un)quality and my enthusiasm.7/10

Pot. Metal music. LARPing. Gaming (card\board\dice RPG and\or video). Old school monster (Godzilla...) movies. Heck, Catholic church services (chanting in Latin, anyone)? Ring any bells? Then sit back, and get ready to take a trip down memory lane! I admit, I went into this movie thinking it was going to be a piece of shit. I loved it. Loved. It. I don't understand the negative reviews. I saw my old college self in the characters (sorry Mom and Dad-lol)! I noticed one of the production companies is called North by Northwest, and that it was filmed in Spokane. Maybe dork/geek humor is regional??? Again, I can't understand the horrible reviews. I thought this movie was hysterical. It starts off slow, but by the end...dear God.

A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Knights of Badassdom" (R - 2013 - US)Sub-Genre: Paranormal/ComedyMy Score: 6.5Cast=8 Acting=6 Plot=7 Ending=7 Story=5 Scare=4 Jump=6 F/X=7 Creep=6 Funny=9Live-action role players conjure up a demon from Hell by mistake and they must deal with the consequences. "'Tis not the size of the young knave's blade, but the lust in his thrust by which legends are made!"  I have only LARP'ed a couple times, but I really enjoyed this. You really don't need to know much about it to get the movie...and with a great cast like this it was very fun to watch. This kind of had an "Army of Darkness" feel to it, but that does not mean it's THAT great. If thou wishes to join a fine quest full of adventure, mirth, and peril...don your +3 ass of perfection and put this in thy player.

It's not as bad as some of the reviews make it out. But you do have to be a geek at heart.You don't have to be a LARPer necessarily, but you do have to know a little about the culture. There are a lot of jokes and references that if you know nothing about roll play, LARP or just general geekdom, they will pass you by. So yeah its not for everyone, but it is funny and the actors all put in exceptional performances for what it is. It's not meant to be a block buster CG extravaganza, so don't expect a block buster action horror and you will enjoy it. But again, if you know nothing about geek culture this will go right over your head. Great performances by all, need to say that again.
