Today, I'm sharing a historically plausible.
Set at the fall of the Roman empire, this story doesn't particularly feel like Arthur, but it has the round table, it has a Merlin (who is a druid), it has a Guinevere, it has the proper array of knights, and most important, it has Arthur himself.
I like how they handled the Lancelot issue. If I remember right, it was there, but pre-marriage to Arthur, and all that. So, overall, a good movie, and though it can be crude and violent, it is pretty historically accurate.

I quite enjoyed this movie. Possibly my favorite retelling of all time of the Arthur story is Stephen R. Lawhead's "The Pendragon Cycle." Though, I have to admit, the BBC's "Merlin" is a close second. However, I have not finished the show yet, because it's one of those series where I'm a bit afraid of how it's going to end...
ReplyDeleteI need to watch Merlin. I've only ever seen ... half an episode. I was in a roleplay with a girl who was a big fan of the series and used its Arthur as her character ... and it was interesting. My character would dump buckets of water on his head.
