Haven't seen the movie yet, was supposed to last weekend, but never got around to it. I'm also a bit reluctant, as I heard nothing about it, until the movie poster popped up in front of the cinema. And when I hear nothing about a movie, it's usually not a big movie. So I don't know. Has any of you guys seen it?
For the weapons, I don't know. Don't like the dagger, that's for sure. Shape looks good and everything, minus the handle, but the colors just looks wrong.
I've got mixed feelings about the sword. First off, the pommel doesn't fit with the hilt, and that's never good. Looks like parts from a different sword. The "wood" on the handle also looks like plastic. Then there is the blade. The general shape of it just looks weird. The black paint, with the yellow/golden pattern on it, just looks too new, and something you could find on a stylized hunter knife. And then there is possibly the worst part, how the edge continues over the tip, and just stops. looks horrible. The damaged edge looks great. But toghether with the all over "new and mass produced" look of the sword, it just makes the sword a thousand times worse. Scratch the mixed feelings part, the whole sword really looks horrible.
Also, I'm quite pissed with whoever made this sword for calling it a shamshir. It's not a blasted shamshir. Hilt may remind of one, but that blade is way too wide, not curved enough, and not long enough. It's like calling the sword Jamanticus bought a katana, because it has a blade that can remind of one.
