Customer Reviews

Forged by a god, foretold by a wizard, found by a man

A film classic based on Sir Thomas Malory’s 1485 book “Le Morte D’Arthur”. Everyone has a favorite part. Few remember the whole film. And we notice something more with each viewing. When you first see Excalibur rising from the lake, you know you are in for a great cinematic movie. We get our entire favorite King Author stories well-spliced together to form one cohesive tale, including the search for the Grail. The round table had a unique symbol in the center. Some time is spent trying to recognize our favorite actors when they were young. Who would have guessed that Igrayne (Katrine Boorman) was in the film “Zardos” (1974) that was also produced by John Boorman? Also trying to identify the music, mostly Richard Wagner (from "Parsifal", "Tristan und Isolde", and "Götterdämmerung"). After viewing this film, it is time to get a different view of the same stories with the film “The Mists of Avalon” (2001) or maybe Merlin (1998).
