Good story, well told

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2008)

I just finished watching this on DVD and though the plot is a bit predictable and the production value is more along the lines of a very good TV movie, on the whole it is tightly written and well acted. Definitely worth the time to see it at least once! The music is less than memorable, however, over done at times and without any original themes that you'd have in your head as you leave the theater, like it was with movies like LOTR. It's a very interesting prequel to the King Arthur saga - you might even be able to follow this up with a viewing of the movie "King Arthur." I highly recommend the book "Firelord" by Parke Godwin if you enjoy good retellings of the Arthurian legends.
