Knights of Badassdom was one of the few titles that had a trailer that truly made me look forward to a title. Believe me when I say that there haven't been many titles who managed that. Now I have read that the director did not sign of on this and that the studio's interfered and have edited it against his vision. That is very regrettable but in this case not leading to dissatisfaction as much as some would have you believe. The film has an incredibly fast pace with a cast that clearly is having fun and it shows. Plus it is one of the few that managed to make a contemporary movie with a heavy Eighties vibe that made you nostalgic for all the good reasons. I liked how LARP (Live Action Role Playing game) was being made fun of and respected at the same time. It's just a bunch of guys and gals that are having fun with a more active approach on those old boardgames like Dungeons and Dragons or online games like World of Warcraft. Even people who aren't into these kinds of things must admit that the fun factor is immediate appealing. Come on we all got lost into fantasy when we were children. Why should that have to change when you grow up? As long as you not get lost in it too much (which is also being addressed in the film) but that goes for everything. Knights of Badassdom is badass, go watch it!
