This is an awesome movie..The acting is right in your face & I thought Nicol Williamson was great.."It will not do us well in battle" was a great precursor to the final battle...Captain Picard,Liam Neeson,Helen Mirren(where they 1st hooked up)...Sheri Lunghi was so beautiful ..Your fine wording makes me almost want to pick up this book. Emphatically agree that those other named movie adaptations were better,something MUCH better(Jaws) than the source material.
Jack White's Camulod Chronicles. A long book (to be fair, not a film) series that makes the story come alive, and one of those few that reduced me to tears more than once. Of all the Arthurian tales I have read, and there are a few, this one takes the gold.
No apologies needed! If you click on the three dots in the upper right hand corner of your comment, you can edit it. But you never have to edit them for me. I’m grateful that you are reading the post. Have a great day!
Joyfully two-dimensional is a fine way to explain the appeal of the thing, along with its unapologetic weirdness (also a nod to romance and the mythic), inspired casting, and lots of mist and shiny metal. As a grade schooler, I was disappointed in the portrayal of Merlin and got a sense that the movie wasn't for me, which it wasn't, but such are the limits of youth. Give me more Nicol Williamson and dreamlike mist.

Oops, both White's name mispelled by me and referenced in the conclusion already. Apologies for my conspicuous numbskullery.
If I knew how to edit commenta, I certainly would.

Thank you! I will add it to my ever-growing list.
No menage a trois there(sorry Sir Patrick)so forgive my slipshod
sentence.

Excellent! Yes, the guys selling dry ice must have done very well on this one. Thank you for reading and commenting!
