Not that bad - Good entertainment value

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2007)

To a certain point, I can see why there are those who do not like the movie... it offers another twist to the Arthurian Legend. I'll agree that it may have been miscast, but sometimes actors just like to do fun things. As I watched the film, it became apparent that this movie was aimed to the preteen - early teen audience - in other words, a family film, even with the violence.
As for claims of historical inaccuracy, there is no definitive knowledge of any of those characters in historical text. There are a variety of texts about these people, and they all vary to some degree.
This movie wasn't made to compete with Gladiator, King Arthur, or Camelot. It was based on a novel, and made as simple entertainment, but just credible enough to add a twist to the Arthurian Legend. I found it interesting, although stretching, to tie King Arthur to Roman bloodlines.
If you watch this film expecting a epic, you'll be disappointed. If you watch this movie for pure escapist entertainment, I think you'll enjoy it.
