Beautiful, moving film.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Terrible. Bad acting with God and Jesus mentioned in every other sentence. This is a Christian appreciation fest and there are no redeeming features that make this worth the struggle past the pulpit speeches. Gave up watching half way through. Save your money. Promised special effects are poor and the film is not enhanced by the woeful narration throughout. I should think even the most ardent Christian would find this film an insult. It is no more than a vain attempt to preach to an unsuspecting audience and should at least be honest and inform the purchaser that the film is a promotion video for God.This film promised so much and delivered so little.I don't even feel as though I could give it away to anyone without being embarrassed.
Amazing special effects/explosions looked around at least 8 Million in my opinion, but they did it for 80K, so kudos. Furthermore, 2 families dreamed this up in their basement and got volunteers to build a village (and then burn it down)--amazing vision, organization, and talent. (The final sword fight was one of the longest and best choreographed I have ever seen.) As for the plot, not bad--it felt like they were headed towards political intrigue and got side-winded towards more action instead--but still, very classic though a little hard to understand all the subtleties at times.Main actors were good, but acting suffered most because 1. script doctor needed to tailor script to actors' personalities--not actors towards script 2. people acting because they had to 3. Acting with family members is difficult, especially when you're pretending to be in love with someone you're related to, which is a little awkward. 4. confusing storyline changes midway so the complex bad guy becomes simple near the end and some of the storyline nuances were lost.But as for the historical inaccuracies, this film was remarkably accurate on several points: Firstly the realism (not hyper-realism with gritty and dirty people in undershirts) , Secondly the religious idealism of the Dark Ages (that many modern people do not understand), Thirdly the Roman-Briton civilization confronting the Saxon barbarians, (and putting the Saxon in their native tongue).As for the religious element, it may make movie-junkies squirm--but the religious sentiment was quite different in the Dark Ages than it is in Hollywood now, and certainly shows a healthy form of idealism rather than the typical elitism found in critics' circles. My only complaint is that there could have been more Liturgical focus as is found in Catholic/Anglican churches, but still the historical effort was appreciated.Overall, good film for the family but slightly violent for the sensitive at heart.
I was looking for a film about King Arthur and/or Merlin and instead I got a Christian family made film about God and faith. There's little to no dialogue and when people do speak it's delivered terribly. This film has an agenda to tell history through the eyes of contemporary Pious people. It's almost comical when a completely inept (non) actor says "this is the gateway to Britain" with a Midwestern accent. For the first 15 minutes it was not clear who is who and what is what and why anything was happening. It was funny when the German Saxon had a Scottish accent though. It took 23 minutes to hear the father call-out the main character's name, "Arthur". The lack of dialogue other than when they speak about God's grace, is actually astounding. What a great disappointment to the story of King Arthur, who, it seems traveled with "knights" that likely were not religious at all. It was hard to watch the people pretending to act. I can not help wondering why they would have these people pretend to act, they're worse than amateur actors, they're worse than any High School musical I've seen. I've seen better acting on the stage of a Middle School. it was painful, I had to turn it off.
This movie is wonderful if u like low budget films where their accent is so annoying that looks like Roman's actually spoke with American accents. Apart from their voice acting everything else makes it look even worst no real effects used, i got up to the intro and even the Saxons look like bikers with plastic helmets on and carpets around them.... This truly awful film doesn't deserve the 1 out of 10 because that is only reserved for troll 2, You know the movie.... I don't expect any cult following for this film..... A lot of Roman movies are always awful and the last legion wasn't as bad as this but it could certainly do with lot more experienced actors even with little Latin would make it more interesting.....
