This Movie may have 'Dated' but Nevertheless is the finest on Screen adaptation of the Arthurian legend that's been made in my opinion. The Special effects and Battles still hold their own and this is superior than over the top CGI Fests that look like computer games. Great early performance, from Helen Mirren mesmerising as the scheming Morgana and Patrick Stewart,Liam Neeson to name just a couple are giving hearty performances to boot as well. Nicely presented and Widescreen and though not the cleanest transfer the film still looks great,colourful and the Knights of the round tables Shining Armour looks suitably majestic. Another 80's classic.

I watched this film 30 yers ago on a night shift at work. One of my colleagues said " what on earth was the writer on? ". I have bought it to watch again, it`s an amazing fantasy story with superb acting from a great cast,superbly directed. I`m sure I will enjoy it again.

Not many movies can boast a supporting cast as strong as this. But the true stars of this film are the land and the tale. The legend of King Arthur is told almost too quickly, If this was being made today, it would be a three part epic trilogy, and I imagine many great scenes were left on the cutting room floor. I will not spoil anything for those who have not seen it yet. I say yet, as everyone SHOULD see it. Its amazing to think how much of it brought to life without special effects and computers, and puts many modern films to shame. Its one failing point is its terrible sound man. Its very clear the whole cast has had to be re-dubbed in the studio to make them audible, and even then its hard to follow sometimes. it distracts from what otherwise is a fantastic tale on so many levels.
A great film, love How it sets Siegfried's Death March & O Fortuna to the narrative. Whether or not the characters are engaging is a matter of opinion but I love the film.
