- Synopsis:
In the mystical land of Mirabilis, in a faraway time, the most coveted element is bloodsteel, a sorcery grade ore that imparts potent magical abilities to anyone who is able to draw it from the earth. The desire for untold wealth and power has drawn much of Mirabilis' vast and disparate populace humans, elves, dwarves and goblins to the old port mining town of Black Roc Keep. It has also enticed the evil Dragon-Eye (Mark Gibbon) and his ruthless Brood soldiers, who'll stop at nothing to possess the ore for the purpose of total world domination. Enlisted to save Mirabilis from this lethal insurgency is the venerable sorcerer elf Tesselink (Christopher Lloyd), who has been given a vital directive by the Oracle of the land (Julian Christopher). He must find the legendary magical Crucible which is the source of Bloodsteel. To execute this perilous quest, Tesselink gathers an unlikely band of freedom fighters: two humans, Sarragoth (David James Elliott), the sworn enemy of the Brood, and Adric (Christopher Jacot), a charming con-man; the goblin Ber-Lak (Dru Viergever); and lastly, the beautiful and fearless warrior elf, Perfidia (Natassia Malthe). Together, this motley, but supremely talented, Order of the Bloodsteel Knights, embark on their dangerous mission. Dragon-Eye has unleashed lethal dragons and other horrendous creatures to find the source of the bloodsteel and to obliterate anything that stands in his way. The extraordinary adventures of the Order have begun. - Actors:

Looks good but contains some Seriously Dodgy acting - Knights of Bloodsteel review by RunDeckardRun
There are some good points to this mini-series: it looks pretty good, is well shot for the most part, SFX make-up is effective, above average soundtrack. But then there's the acting... it's simply awful. Not all the actors are bad and it may be that the director was better at constructing visuals than bringing out the best in the cast. Christopher Lloyd is the big star name and he presumably cost a significant portion of the acting budget. That shouldn't be an excuse for why the other principal actors are quite so bad, but it clearly has contributed. Unfortunately, because the main actors are collectively so poor, it significantly affects the overall production.
This Lord of the Rings knock-off is not worth watching.
