I watched it last night for the first time since it came out and mostly enjoyed it and was struck by the beauty of the lavish sets and music. It reminded me of Fellini's Satyricon with the color and how some scenes seemed detached from the rest of the film (like little skits thrown in).

I fast forwarded thru some of the fight scenes (because it was a bit long) but overall was struck by the obvious effort that went into it and thought it was largely successful. a bonus is that young (ish) Helen Mirren is featured...

I just wonder if any here remember this film and if so,

what do you think of Excalibur?

I noticed the flowers blooming and lots of other details, an ambitious effort that failed on many levels - PhilJ 11:50:43 09/22/13 (0)
