This was probably the best version of King Arthur I have ever seen, it is so grande and operatic, the film gives the tale the importance it deserves. And the visuals and atmosphere blew me away, the sets and costumes were spectacular. Some of the sets felt like a Frank Frazetta or Ralph Bakshi painting brought to life. If you only see one version of King Arthur, please make it this one.

I love Excalibur. Helen Mirren as Morgan Le Faye? Yes please.
That movie is equal parts serious fantasy epic, campy live action cartoon, and a porn parody. ZS wishes he could handle those tones as masterfully
