The "original" theme running throughout this movie is a fairly direct copy of Manon Lescaut by Puccini. Unusual to hear something so blatantly used without attribution.
I'm sort of torn about things like this, I know it's just entertainment, as the Arthurian legends certainly were, and have some value just as that.
However it's a shame to see Roman history, which is rich enough on its own two feet, now being turned into this sort of thing also, with magic swords and secret powers and so on. The history is so strong and interesting without adding that.
