There is not much to say about this tedious film. The production values are all there: it is well shot and the battles scenes are well managed – but there is little else to this film. The cast is competent, and we now have to have a fierce and beautiful young woman in these stories; an essential ingredient these days. The film's greatest weakness, in fact the great error in the production, is the excessive use of slow motion. It is self indulgent and infuriating; all because the director wanted to make it all seem so meaningful, when all it did was make it so dull. Of course, it may have been that he wanted to turn a 60 minute film into a longer one. The motivation is unclear.

It feels a bit of a fish mash of a group of film fans that are trying to make a film together using ideas from films they like.The sound track sounds 1980s sc-fi which goes well with the fallout, Max max back grounds.It has a spaghetti western feel to it. At times the dialogue felt badly dubbed lines.Plenty of sword and fight action. Filming looks clumsy but i think they move it around so much to make it look more of an epic battle then it is.Again using the 300 or Sin City black and white with dashes of colour to make it look more stylish works at times but at times it looks far too post nuclear rather then England.The acting is OK no real character growth. Very much the mysterious loner much copied from Sergio Leonie films of the 60's.I nearly gave up on this because it felt dark and slow. I thought oh no its a sc-fi chanel cheap and nasty with digital special effects and poor acting type of film.What made me stick with it was the FALLOUT game look. The FALLOUT series is my favourite console game.They should have left history out of it and leave it to the audience to decide if it was the future or past or another world.Plus points it is quite cool if slow. At times looks very good.I can see why it splits peoples scores so much. It feels very much like a movie for film technical and style lovers rather then the block buster type. It would surprise me if it became a bit of an under ground cult film like Django the original.

I watched this movie without expectations,and was pleasantly surprised. The action is good. The acting is good for being a direct to DVD movie. Even better than expected. What really bugs me these days is, no matter what type of action movie. They always gonna have the good guys spend valuable time in the heat of the battle, mourning the dead. Just so the bad guy can get an upper hand or pull some dirty trick. Someone really need to update the textbook on that one ,cause it get stupefying boring ,not to mention predictable to the point where you just fast forward to something more interesting. Or just turn of the movie all together The end fight was a great up until a certain point. *******spoilers**********spoilers*************spoilers********** What ruins the end fight was that.suddenly when one person fell,all of the others who at that time had been holding their own pretty good,suddenly fought like amateurs.And started falling like domino pieces.That was just too stupid. Up until than me and my friends were entertained.but when they did that,we just fast forwarded

Sword of Vengeance is shot almost entirely in slow motion. Characters perceive time differently from us, as they feel the need to dramatically walk, talk and stare at each other while posing at the camera. Visual is all shades of gray, while this might be stylish at first, it overstays its welcome by the fifteen minutes mark, by then the main character probably have taken his fifth slow-mo steps. Story is thin at best, with average runtime and majority of it is painful slow-mo, the film barely has any substance to offer.An outsider comes to a village, he beats up a few thugs, makes a speech and fights tyranny. This simple premise is flawed by the first couple of scenes. The outsider dispatches people easily at one point, only to be jumped by a random extra and got whooped in the next. Considering that everyone moves as though they are in fashion show, it's borderline comedy this near superhuman can be even wounded, his plot armor must have worn off.Acting is equivalent of cardboard box, but at least one could draw smiley or sad faces at a box. To be fair, it's not the actors' fault, the script barely gives anyone personality aside from one-dimensional extra from Vikings or 300. Story is heavily predictable, and the title helps by giving it away. There could be some underlying message of vengeance here but it's buried by the piles of slow-mo spam.The fight is mediocre, either it's slow or shaky cam. There's barely logic in this as well, people swing and charge recklessly. Soundtracks are mesh between electronic and techno. It's a strange style and could've worked better if the movie had ordinary pace. Cinematography is different shots of a forest, some with all trees, a few buildings and its interior. The film tries too hard on creating cool shots, it is literally nothing but slow motion.Watching Sword of Vengeance is more like looking at slideshow of concept art, which may be edgy in modesty, but not for entire movie. Alternatively, one could watch Robin Hood in half speed or compilation of fights from 300, any of those should prove more interesting.
