	Media	Author	Review
		Catherine Bray Variety	"This is probably not a film that will engage too many people outside the show’s existing fanbase (...) Where 'Seven Kings Must Die' is most interesting, however, is in its approach to religion, sexuality and culture"
		Jo Berry Digital Spy	"If you loved 'The Last Kingdom' as a series, you’ll be very pleased with this final slice of medieval warrior life"
		Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"The deluge of detail gets steadily more absorbing (...) Edward Bazalgette manages the storytelling efficiently (...) If you like that kind of nerdy attention to detail, you will love this (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Robert Daniels rogerebert.com	"It mistakes the mere presence of blood for a compelling narrative"
		Louisa Mellor Den of Geek	"Fast-forwarding this story to the end for a Netflix movie did it a disservice, but at least the shield walls and the action remain intact."
		Amanda Guarragi Ready Steady Cut	"A detailed spin-off of the Netflix series that changed historical dramas for the platform (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		David Craig Radio Times	"As it stands, this is an epilogue that effectively pays tribute to Dreymon's tenure as Uhtred, but sadly, isn't fit for a king. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Erik Kain Forbes	"A rushed mess, trampling over characters from the show, throwing together a conflict that is both jarring and unnecessary, and creating stakes that feel forced at best. It’s hard to care about any of it"
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"A flawed yet fitting finale that serves as a send-off to Uhtred of Bebbanburg and the bloody life he did everything to find a way clear of"
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"The movie delivers viscerally exciting fight scenes and a strong sense of what life was like in an ancient, unsettled world"
		Meghan O'Keefe Decider	"If you are a 'The Last Kingdom' fan, 'Seven Kings Must Die' is a must watch! Stream it! But if you’ve never had the luxury of girlcrushing over Hild (...) maybe skip it"
		Lopa K The Review Geek	"A fun finale to a story that spanned the last few years giving fans a satisfying closure"
