A good song or two can't cover for the fact that the movie eventually becomes boring and tedious. I think the problem is that they reduce Arthurian legend to a love triangle.

A musical where the singing is secondary to the terrific story and the meaning to what truly is Camelot.

It looks odd as a movie & as a musical , its way to long , its badly cast , maybe Richard Burton should have taken the lead role with Julie Andrews , but the blame for being such dreary movie lays with the Director & Production of the film

Though it's slowed down by too many songs and a couple songs that go on too long, this is a romantically lavish production that tells a thoughtful, humorous, idealistic, but also heart-breaking story. Harris and Redgrave give outstanding performances. Some of the songs will sing in your heart long afterwards.

While it has great stars, good songs and great costumes and production it's too long and slow for its own good

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

Exactly what we were promised: ornate, visually beautiful, romantic and staged as the most lavish production in the history of the Hollywood musical. If that's what you like, you'll like it.

Rated: 4/4

This Camelot could be moved into Disneyland, intact.

The Spectator

To take all three hours, one probably needs a fairly tireless addiction to knights, toy castles, rapt pauses and battlefield farewells.

Alternate Ending

The film that essentially killed off Old Hollywood by virtue of being such a bad box-office flop.

... considered a classic by many and a disaster by others. I'm in that other camp.

Creative Loafing

Often so misguided that it threatens to become a spoof worthy of Monty Python or Mel Brooks -- when Arthur hisses, "I demand a man's vengeance!" he sounds exactly like Cloris Leachman bleating, "Death to King Louis!" in History of the World: Part I.
