Joseph R. @Josephus27 Dec 31 I dont understand why so many people seem to not like this. As a Romaboo I feel like this Movie did the Romans justice, historically and culturally for the time. My only critique is just that the love story felt kinda forced. But nonetheless this is a GREAT take on the legend of Aurthur. Roma Aterna! See more Jeff Y @RT40678981 Dec 7 I enjoy epic sword and slaughter swashbucklers, and as they go, this one is pretty average. The dialogue is a little stilted, with the acting and characters just adequate. Visually, too, looks a little dated, now that it's 18 years old. If you're a big fan of this genre, as I am, you won't regret watching, but if not, you may feel your time could have been better well-spent elsewhere.

See more Vol W @Volunteer Apr 26 I really don't understand the poor 15% Rotten Tomatoe score! I loved this movie and watch it every oportunity that find it streaming. Kevin Mckidd's villain was perfect! An all star cast led by Colin Firth, what's not to like. A great and more believable telling of the Arthur legend. See more Blu B @RT43513976 01/03/2025 It feels like a Sword & Sandel Epic mixed with Lord of the Rings knockoff characters sort of. It just hits all the basic points of a journey and nothing more. You get a sloppy introduction, than it jumps around TERRIBLY setting up multiple storylines before coming back together with the group into the most generic "incredible journey" over mountains for what feels like maybe 2 minute at most. Than you get your last battle because that's when it's supposed to happen and end with terrible CGI showing the changing of the seasons to set up the legend of Arthur for some reason. Acting, editing, and pacing aren't good at all here. Firth and the kid aren't bad but they just get forgotten about for stretches after being setup as the main focus. Than we get the lame invincible girl knight, Gandalf I mean Kingsley, and a couple other generic characters that I felt absolutely nothing when they died because this doesn't have ANY character development outisde of Kingsley, the kid, and Firth. The rest just show up, never see them interact, or know anything about them. I thought there was only 5 but couldn't believe when there was like 7-8 of them. This has a focus issue. Sometimes it's about the kid and his journey, other times the Roman Empire, the other stock generic characters, the lame villian who wears a golden rabbit mask, and it just jumps terribly before settling in the end. The music isn't bad but is overused and just gets generic at certain points despite a strong start. The cinematography is just alright. The direction is uninspired, the battles are just alright honestly, and there isn't any massive scale or scope compared to epics of old or other big fantasy battles from this time. It feels like maybe there was budget constraints and there is production value that shows with good costumes, sets, and on location setups but there's nothing unique about it to set it apart. If you told me this was a battle from Lord of the Rings or Gladiator I'd beleive you honestly. And it just feels like it's on autopilot once all the characters are introduced and stops with the jumpiness. Going through souless motions of a epic adventure by the beats with no heart or doing anything well. It makes sense enough and I can't really point to much that truly Rise of Skywalker level broken about it. But it does nothing to set itself apar and barely checks off the bare minimum to be a functioning adventure/fantasy. Skip This. See more Read all reviews
