There's not much point in reviewing a movie this old, but this bugged me so much, I will.
Firstly I have just finished reading the original translated version, which took me a few months. This movie has very little to do with the original stories of king arthur and his knights. No Merlin, no magic, no grand adventures, no mention of the other knights of the round table .
To top it off, Arthur was too old, Lancelot was too American, the choreography was garbage. The special effects lame. The dialogue: cheese-ball. The premise weak. No back story, and the ending, pathetic and mind boggling. At what point did Arthur find Lancelot to be the truest????
Now, you may think I'm being harsh since this was made in the 90s... But all I can say is, brave heart, jurassic Park, independence day etc etc. So many movies where superior, be it story or special effects.
So in conclusion, if you're looking for an accurate representation of the tales of King Arthur, you will not find it here. And if you're looking for an epic medieval tale, you also won't find it here.
End of rant.
