What a stinker!, 13 August 2001
1/10
Author: hotspur95 from Scotland

I have just been laughing away to my self reading all the other reviews of this movie. Oh dear :) Yup, if you have any fore - knowledge of the Aurtherian legends, then this film will make you grind your teeth in dispair. I think my sister had rented it, I already knew it would be bad. I still watched to the end - with a grim, half wince, expression, as if witnessing a car crash. It is everything bad about hollywood - honestly - they should just donate the money to charity and kick the script writers in the shins. The fact that they had to butcher a fine story as well ... anyway... I'm sure you have read all the other comments ... I wonder if it will become one of those 'so bad, it is good' films, because some of it still makes me giggle. The fact that the uniforms the knights all wore looked more like Star Trek jerkins, and the 'Its a knock out' challange the Gere (who should be beaten with a pointy stick), are notable points of lunacy. Ok, I'm done :)
