King Arthur

[Hamma]

I concur, for a change Jerry Brukhiemer (sp?) fucked up.

[Setari]

only thing is that in all the arthur stories I've heard or read, Guinivere (sp?) doesnt do much more than sit around and look pretty.

[Lartnev]

That's because those stories are based on legend. King Arthur attempts to be a truer account of the legend and from what I read in an article it's pretty close. Haven't seen the film myself but we'll see.

As for the love stuff.... well it's gonna happen isn't it

And, stirrups... how difficult is it to ride a horse without stirrups?

In short: didnt like it.

Anyone else see it yet?

Ban it was action packed and just plain good ...I will add it to our Dvd collection I disagree with Hamma ... This story is open to diffrent version this one was one of the better ones

here is the test of compromise, hamma.

Arthur: "And the lady of the lake, born from the bussom of the water, gave unto me Excaliber, signifying that 'twas my devine right to be king..."

Denis: "Watery tarts lying in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government."

argh, next she'll be talking about city of angels and saying it was the best film ever

Seriously though, I haven't seen King Arthur or whatever it's called yet, but as it stands, most films based on things are really poor, butchered by directors. Ok, I know it's not based on a story or anything, but since they did the wall running/bullet time/any other effect in the matrix, how many times have we seen that since, practically every damn action film, downright pisses me off!

The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch still remains at the top of the Monty Python sacreligious artifacts list...

The Lord of the Rings movies were PG-13... Damn, you're right, they sure had shitty battles...

Lies

And Jerry Bruckheimer isn't all that bad a producer when it comes to realism (Black Hawk Down for example)

[Ducimus]

Dux Bellorum Lucius Artorius Castus


The man really did exist. Was he the man who inspired the tales of King aurthor? Some scholars think so, the case is rather compelling.
