“The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die” (**1/2 out of four) was a visually sweeping but dramatically empty sequel to the 5 seasons of the title series about Uhtred Of Babbanburg (Alexander Dreymon) and his various comrades (Mark Rowley, Pekka Strang, and others) who suffer in the wake of the death of King Edward but vow to persevere ahead to unite a fractured England and make it a unified whole once again, regardless of the bloody costs. Beautiful cinematography from Luke Bryant and haunting music score by John Lunn/Danny Saul/Elvor Palsdottir help keep you entranced but after a while can’t camouflage that the story and characters are all so nondescript and vague. Final battle is extraordinary but even this (and other film’s elements) seem lifted from other superior medieval sagas “Braveheart” and “Gladiator.”
