Like most all fans of "The Last Kingdom" I have been waiting anxiously for this Movie. With what I thought were surprises pretty much "right out of the gate". Through it all, it was fast paced and entertaining. And, just like with each Season watched, I didn't want it to end. Very much worth a "10" to me.
Alfred, Edward and Aethelstan were "Great Kings" according to Historians. But keep in mind, as in the books, this Series is about Utred. With all the "Real Historically accurate" Characters, as well as the added "fictional" ones in this Series. It is, was, and always was about Utred's story! Each Episode reminded us, Utred was the smart one, Utred was the best. Utred was the Hero!
So I believe you have to buy into to that fact to enjoy this story. Once I did that. I absolutely loved every minute of every hour. Of every episode, of every Season. Yeah, I did!
The Last Kingdom Series was Fantastic, Brilliant, I can't express enough how much I enjoyed it. And I never wanted it to end. But this Movie, Seven Kings Must Die, holds up. It's good, really good. And like with the Series. "I didn't want it to end".
Personally I don't have closure. I suppose I will have to watch it a couple more times. Without a doubt, I would have loved them to have made a season six. Or maybe a three hour Movie! But all in all, the Series as well as this Movie "delivered"!
By the way. According to Historians. Aathelstan did unite England. Ruled for twelve years. He was about forty-five when he died. For whatever reason? He never married. And he did not have or leave an "heir". And Edmond did succeed him.
In this Movie. I thought they handled this perfectly, if not surprisingly. I for one was "blown away". Blown away in a good way for me. I was entirely alright with the story line. Personally, I loved this twist or take their History here!
Bravo! To the entire crew. A "bold " move I thought.
