"Knights of Bloodsteel" is a TV production which shines in a comparison to other TV series of the genre, such as "Conan" or "Beastmaster". The limited budget of "Knights of Bloodsteel" lead to less dragons (maybe one per hour) and more character development which is a good thing, unless you prefer movies where something goes BOOM every two minutes.The 4 knights of Mirabilis need to be pushed to go on their mission, they don't see themselves as heroes and mind their own business rather the community. The Evil One isn't just evil for the fun of it, but he needs the desired magical object of the week, a little glowing red thing, to save his son. Other baddies aren't simply obedient servants - they pursue their own goals instead. To sum it up, the characters seem quite realistic which is rare in the genre.I loved the scene when Perfidia (an elf) asks Maya (a human) to go down on her knees. Perfidia wants to make her a member of the Mirabilis knights. Maya however thinks it's the arrogant elves again and shouts angrily at her. A complete misunderstanding like it could happen between people who know each other for a short time only, but few fantasy films allow their heroes to make such silly mistakes."Knights of Bloodsteel" is a good fantasy film, definitely more than I expected. Try it if the mega-buck blockbusters haven't overpowered your sense of taste yet.

OK so its no Lord of the Rings, but for the amount of money it had it did pretty good in my opinion. I give it a 9/10 against other B movies. THe story was good, the plot wasn't bad and the acting wasn't terrible either. WIth a little imagination on the part of the viewer this is a great movie! This is sort of a World of Warcraft meets Lord of the Rings kind of movie. Surprisingly the special effects weren't as bad as expected and the sheer amount of actors was awesome! Most movies of this type would not have nearly as many actors! Check it out! Definitely worth a rental or even a purchase if you are into fantasy movies.

For any sci-fi or fantasy fan, or any good TV series or Film for that matter, this pilot will seem cliché, repetitive,unimaginative,un-insipiring,poorly directed and poorly executed. Continuity is absent, the characters are as superficial and un-involving as they can be. Even Christopher Loyd's performance was nothing like his usual level. Total waste of money, time, and effort. The script was the main cause of all of this, and the direction finished the job and sealed it's fate. The audience doesn't relate to the characters, nor does it care what happens to them. The actors were not helping out at all with their performance.

I do not want to summarize the plot, but I would like to recommend it, as I actually thought it was a little better than the normal Sci-Fi Channel movies (the ones they produce or sponsor or whatever you want to call the "B" Movies they show that are brought to you by the Sci-Fi Channel). I watch their movies because I love sci-fi & fantasy stuff so much, I even manage to get through the worst of them, some of which often have me wincing at the writing, acting and special effects, but I thought the acting in this, the writing, and the character development was noticeably better than the ones I usually see. Cudos to Sci-Fi Channel. While, I would still consider it a "B" Movie, it is a move in the right direction. Thanks.
