Konterr Brilliant and touching

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Smoreni Zmaj Movie that succeeds to be at the same time bad movie and the best adaptation of legend of King Arthur and Knights of the Round Table. For 1981. it's visually fascinating and deserves Best Cinematography Oscar it's nominated for. But however magical and hypnotizing it may be, it's also full of flaws. It's poorly written, story is undeveloped, things just happen without explanation and movie makes rough time jumps without transition. Characters are two-dimensional and occasional attempts to add them some depth are tragicomic. With few exceptions, acting is better left uncommented. When I was a child I was stunned with this movie, but from current perspective, changed by few decades of movie experience, this movie is so hollow that I simply can not turn the blind eye to all its flaws, but still so beautiful that I can not rate it low either.7/10

vervliet-marcel After all these years and multiple viewings this movie still has scenes powerful enough to bring me to tears. This is by far the best movie about the Arthurian legends ever made, all the others are crap compared to this. The late Nigel Terry is great as King Arthur, I also loved him in Caravaggio, a shame that he was so little known as an actor. Nicol Williamson's Merlin is also unforgettable, in fact the entire cast is excellent. The music (Wagner) fits right in and enhances the power of the images. This is a movie made by a director working at the Heights of his powers and it just doesn't get much better folks.

tvsweeney-39052 From the minute the written explanation comes on the screen, accented by a flaring orchestral accompaniment, my thought was...this sounds like a Wagnerian opera. Indeed the music score does contain a good bit of Wagner's score. While I love the story of Arthur and his knights, I found myself dissatisfied with this rendition. Based on Malory's Morte d'Arthur, the dialogue often sounds stilted, even for such a period piece. Most is delivered in a manner better suited to Shakespeare's blank verse. The actors sound as if they are on a stage declaiming to an audience. The sequence of events is mostly episodic,Where more action is needed, the scene simply fades to black.With his odd accent and weirdly accented syllables,Apparently he's the comic relief of this dark piece.There's epic splendor, beautiful scenery and the costumes, and the armor, look authentic. Giving a tint of green, the color of magic to various men and objects lends a touch of supernatural aura to the entire story.This movie has its moments and it was enjoyable, but...it needed something, perhaps more fleshing-out of the script instead of merely following a basic outline of a well-known story.This movie is owned by me and no remuneration was involved in the writing of this review.

Miguel Neto Excalibur is another adaptation of the legend of King Arthur, and the movie is good, not enough to be the best on Arthur, the direction of John Boorman is good, the cast is good, Nigel Terry, Helen Mirren, Cherie Lunghi, Nicol Williamson Katrine Boorman, Gabriel Byrne, Patrick Stewart, Liam Neeson and etc, the acting is good, the script has some problems, the pace is moderate, I found the longer I should film the look of the film is excellent, the armors are very good, mainly bright, the costumes are impeccable, the picture is very good, and the action scenes are very good, the first 20 minutes is very good, Excalibur is not the best film about King Arthur, even more so is a good movie.
