Los Angeles Times

The movie delivers viscerally exciting fight scenes and a strong sense of what life was like in an ancient, unsettled world.

“The Last Kingdom” mistakes the mere presence of blood for a compelling narrative.

Variety

Where “Seven Kings Must Die” is most interesting... is in its approach to religion, sexuality and culture.

Forbes

The movie is a rushed mess, trampling over characters from the show, throwing together a conflict that is both jarring and unnecessary, and creating stakes that feel forced at best. It’s hard to care about any of it.

Book & Film Globe

The movie Seven Kings Must Die wraps up the Netflix show The Last Kingdom with a corny flourish that’s not always successful and mostly echoes the high points of the show during its peak.

Rated: 3/5

Charles C A great ending to a great story. The action, the drama, the visuals, and the fantastic acting all come together nicely to give the series a satisfying close. Watch seasons 1-5 before watching the movie though. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Darren K As a fan of the show, the movie is just ok. The world of the Last Kingdom is up to the same old tricks and story beats, so if you wanted another quick dose of the show then 7 Kings has you covered. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Sean Patrick M This is as stupid as a movie can get. Take what you have done repeatedly in a television show and do exactly the same thing again but find a way to make it worse. How you spend years creating a character and think you can sell the fact that no matter how loyal that character is, EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER he has sworn to protect betrays him is ridiculous. So stupid. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Helen G Loved it. Alexander Dreyman brilliant again. His sidekicks wonderful as always. Action, loss, honour, all the usual. Ending was OK. Battle a little unreal but the film was enjoyable. Just ride with it. Relax and enjoy. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Magraith The ending I was hoping for to this saga, words can't describe the joy I had when watching the end of this film, as someone who lives near to Bebbanburg the ending was perfectly done. Great finish to a wonderful series, I rate this as high up as breaking bad personally. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Thom G An okay diversion if you're seeking a story set in the Middle Ages with nothing groundbreaking on the horizon... But it really needs more flesh on its bones... Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
