While Seventh Son didn't impress me that much either (I thought Hanzel and Gretel: Witch Hunters did it better), it did have one of the best lines I've heard in a movie this year:
"You must never have more than one sip of this per day."
"Why?"
"Because it is mine."
Made me lol.
As for Last Knights, I'll probably watch it just because I'm a Clive Owen fan. Don't think I'll bother going to the theatre, though.
I agree that there wasn't as much action as there could have been, but I ended up liking the story and characters more than I thought I would. It had a samurai feel to it, all about honour and bushido and redemption.
I thought there wouldn't be much of a story or a plot - just lots of action and fighting. So when it turned almost the opposite of that, it was a pleasant surprise. Not the best movie I have seen this year, but by far not the worst.

Can't really argue with that. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I didn't really know much about the movie, apart from briefly watching a trailer, so I sort of half-expected a Seventh Son fantasy-type movie with cheap special effected. Since my expectations were set pretty low, the samurai influence caught me by pleasant surprise.
