I came across The Last Kingdom on Netflix when I was 25 years old at the time and to my surprise, I actually liked it. The first two seasons had some problems regarding the editing and shaky cameras in certain scenes, but the story was gripping, it had good character buildups while going into detail on the historical fiction on how England was united, the action sequences were engaging, and the music score is atmospheric. Season 3 is where the show got better with emotional gravitas, the character interactions became more compelling as did the story, and the cinematography was just as gorgeous. Season 4 wasn't quite as strong, but was good nonetheless and Season 5, while also not quite as strong, was an improvement and a great ending to the series
When I heard that Netflix was gonna make a movie finale to the series, I became interested and saw it on the same day it came out. Later on, it turned to be very good.
The cinematography is very superb and well shot, the costumes are just as beautiful, the music score, much like the series, is atmospheric, the acting from everyone involved is great especially Alexander Dreymon, and action is very good.
That being said, there are some problems I do have with the movie. The story does wrap up Uhtred's story very nicely, but some parts feel rushed due to the 111 minute length and could've fleshed out the other side characters. Plus there were some stuff in the story that came out of nowhere (which I won't spoil to those who haven't seen this yet).
Overall, The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die isn't a perfect movie, but as a closure to the series, it's pretty good. Go check out the series first and then watch the movie. And remember....
DESTINY IS ALL.
