I dont know if many of you have seen that movie that was released about 1month and a half ago. It was a great movie! Best Character by far was Tristram, with his falcon and his amazign archery skills!

A friend and I went to see it. It was one of the better outlooks on the legend of Arthur. It gave me a new slant on the legend.
I notice the Stonehenge was near the sea in the movie. I thought it was more inland. Could there have been more than one and the one inland was the one that survived the years?

Ooh, I loved this film! I was kinda wary cos all the reviews I had read really butchered it! Merlin definitely wasn't how I imagined him to be, lol, but other than that it was pretty cool.
Just goes to show that you shouldn't believe everything you read"Someday, men will look back and say I gave birth to the twentieth century." - Jack the Ripper

merlin in this was not a magician, in real life, like history ( as told by the directors, that hey found more evidence of the real Kign Arthur) he was like a barbarian. It did have many twists, it was way different then Excalibur made in hte 80's i think

I enjoyed the movie when I saw it some two months ago. Granted it’s no Oscar winning “Gladiator”. The story, IMO, was simple but good. Yeah it breaks with the traditional telling of the King Arthur story, but how many movies like that do we need? I thought it had good action in it, and the action sequences were good even if they weren’t all bloody and realistic like in “Gladiator” and “Braveheart”. I liked the sequence when they met on the frozen lake. The director did a good job and had an interesting take on how he “told” the story.
Even though the actors are relatively unknown to me, except for the guy who plays the Saxon leader (“Good Will Hunting”), I liked the cast and thought they did a good job. I enjoyed the Arthur character and the way he’s torn between his men, his country, and his beliefs. On a shallow note, Clive Owen who plays Arthur wasn’t too bad looking either. I liked how Guinevere wasn’t the typical female. Her archery skills and swordsmanship rivaled the men when it came to the battle scenes.
Originally posted by LugalI heard they went with the Sarmatian hypothesis in this which was one of the main reasons why i wanted to see it.
So yeah I liked the movie even if it was bashed by movie critics. I never rely on their word anyway because stuff they like I usually can’t stand. I saw the trailer for this at two other movies I had seen, and it looked good even though I didn’t recognize any of the actors at the time. So I didn’t just go see this one because someone’s name was slapped on it.IMO always implied.

They did. Of course, this was the first time I had ever heard of it, but it was an integral part to the movie that added to the emotional aspect of the story. I found it to be an interesting possible derivation to the “classical” Arthur story.
