Copacetic, at best

Rating: 5/10 (20 August 2007)

While I found nothing horrible about this movie, I did not find anything great either. I would be OK with this if I had rented it, but I didn't. Finding myself as 1 of the 10 people in a 295 seat theater on opening night should have been warning enough . . . .
But I digress.
While the acting was good, the characters were stereotypes.
****SPOILER****
The character who turns out to be Merlin is a trickster, not a magician - no magic there. Excalibur, on the other hand, is sharp enough to allow a young boy to cleave through a bed, a barbarian can use it to hack other swords to pieces, and it will pierce stone. Magic?
The Last Legion itself doesn't appear until probably the final 1/3 of the movie and makes a 5 minute appearance on the field of battle at the very end.
I give this movie a resounding "Meh".
