I’ve only seen a few parts of this over the years but it’s always been on my list. I finally got to see an HD version of this and it’s pretty awesome. It’s by far, the most epic version of King Arthur’s story I’ve seen. There’s magic, huge knight battles, love, betrayal, and a 10 year+ quest for the holy grail.
There’s some pretty cheesy acting in some places (but no uncommon for films of the era). The music has its moments (some beautiful stuff here) but it also gets bombastic at points and ruins otherwise interesting moods. There is some absolutely fabulous cinematography. The colorization on this film is gorgeous.
Recommended for any sword and sorcery fan.
