Lavishly produced and passionate telling of the Arthurian legend
I don't think Excalibur is a perfect movie, the pacing is rather
dizzying not always the characters to fully develop as they could have done and the rape scene was horrible to watch and out of place. Flaws aside, it is lavishly produced, passionate and thoroughly convincing and is one of the better tellings of the Arthurian legend. Out of all the scenes in the film, Arthur and Guinivere's wedding was my favourite, it was beautifully done. As I have said, the film looks lavish, with sumptuous costumes and sets and mystical cinematography, and the score and battle scenes are excellent. The story is ambitious yet compelling, the direction is gritty mixing fable and magic with reality and the writing is intelligent. I also loved the themes presented in Excalibur, good vs. evil, paganism vs. Christianity and mighty Merlin vs. malevolent Morgana. And of course the acting is very good, Nigel Terry as King Arthur, Helen Mirren as Morgana and Nicol Williamson as Merlin particularly impress. All the characters are flawed and sympathetic, yet very intriguing as well. I loved Cherie Lunghi's Guinevere as well, she was beautiful. Overall, a solid telling of the legend of King Arthur. 8/10 Bethany Cox. Chrystenraye@yahoo.com watch Broken Trail movie

Awesome
I have seen the movie Excalibur many times, and I believe it is an
excellant movie. Many people say that it was cheezy looking (Yes, Excalibur the sword does get a tad flexible at points.) However, was not The Day the Earth Stood Still cheezy too, yet it is one of the greatest movies of all times, most people agree. And if anyone tries to down the movie by claiming it was not true to the legends, I have read many Arthurian texts, and the legend is not true to the legends. John Boorman picked through the haystack, and found his needle. Another excellant thing about this movie is for the most part, the acting is underscored. Not like in many modern movies, I believe Nicol Williamson, Helen Mirren, all the actors from the round table, and Mrs. Boorman did excellant jobs. The only complaints I had were so minor they practically do not exist. So go, see the movie, and be swept away.. |
