Conflict rises when the Tiwalag’s captured Dayang Lualhati while she’s on her way to the Royal Wedding, although Lualhati was successful in escaping his captors with the help of a vanished, Sulo, things gets even more complicated as Sulo was the son of the Lakan’s former chief security who he killed because of the traditional barbaric law.
I could say that The Kingdom is one of the grandest Filipino movies I’ve seen in my 13 years of blogging, obviously the movie was well budgeted, well planned, and well executed. From the concept down to the costumes and props up to the smallest details it was meticulously made.
The vision of the movie was well raised and it does show a version of an uncolonized Philippines, a Philippines where catholicism wasn’t the dominant religion and every law and punishments were based by the guidance of the Bathala.
Story and Production wise, The Kingdom was an A+++.
Vic Sotto delivered another exceptional performance in The Kingdom, he was actually way better here than his performance in the 2019 movie Mission Unstapable: The Don Identity and also at 70-years-old Vic Sotto still was able to make a beautifully shot fight scene with Piolo Pascual who by the way was equally great in portraying the character of Sulo.
I would like to commend Ms Iza Calzador for a very beautiful cameo performance in the movie, I felt she actually deserved to have a much bigger role in this movie rather than just having a cameo role.
Overall, The Kingdom is a great movie. I just wished that they used a bigger venue for their finale scenes to make it grander and make it more cinematic. The story is out of the box and well written, I hope we see more movies like this in the future.
Rating: 3.5/5
