The performances are generally good, with a few over-the-top lines and gestures.
It's a shame that most viewers will see this interrupted with commercials it's a beautifully moody film with lots of excellent photography, sets, and costumes (even if the latter look a little too Medieval for accuracy). The attempt to unite pagans and Christians under one king may seem like a very contemporary issue, but it is a human universal and one that has been repeated throughout history. This explores the notion that Arthur is king "at a time when the gods were changing" (to paraphrase James Michener) and that the mystical women of Avalon (and not Merlin) are the real force behind the events of Camelot.
The legend of King Arthur has been retold enough times that no single version of it is sacred.
