Karma for that if I can.

i liked the movie. being the more historically accurate version it obviously isnt gonna be like the fairy tale version that most of us are more familiar with

the views on religion were pretty interesting though.... how fucked up the roman catholic church was... merlin the dark wizard and his pagan following, how most of the knights were non-believers, and how arthur was true to himself and followed his heart and faith... he didn't follow all those catholic retards... kinda like a start to a protestant perspective except wayyy before henry viii

hmmm i dun think so... in the movie Arthur was never preaching about Jesus or God or any sort of religion

if he was preaching anything, it was his principles on freedom and equality...

so he was preaching about getting rid of those saxon bastards?

how was mount badon?

^ he wasn't preaching much of anything... just being a noble knight all along... doing "the right thing"

the final battle (mount badon) was ok... a bit farfetched actually, with the added cheese factor of course... kinda left me wondering "why the heck did the saxons think they could defeat the roman empire if they couldn't even handle a dinky forest tribe?!"

still... an ok movie... a little bit worse than troy

Well said.

I just got back.
K-Pryde is right, it's more factual (as far as hollywood is concerned) then fairy tale or legend. It sort of started in the middle of the timeline, after they left home.
Ya, it could of been an amazing epic but i don't think the movie was a)budgeted for it or b) risky to follow which fairy tale/legend to please the masses.
I thought it was an above average movie. the acting was consistent (except the end where merlin sounded italian :P).
The fight scenes were done better then troy, the special affects on the ice scene rocked too.
I missed the first 5 minutes and was playing catchup from there, and it left a little to assume. But ya, good show :)

It was good......no gladiator as far as that genre of movie goes
