plain simple... pathetic

Rating: 1/10 (16 August 2007)

so where do i begin with the just blandness of this movie. *SPOILERS*
1. the cheesy dialogue 2. the predictable storyline 3. terrible smoke effects (this is beyond terrible) 4. how smart is this kid really, if they knew the prophecy how the hell did they not find the sword any earlier 5. boring and if it wasn't for the extra-loud sound effects for the sword slashing and what-not i would've had a nice nap 6. also, the worst character development i've seen in all my life ( Ben Kingsley's character aka. terrible Father Time). answer me this: is he or is he not a sorcerer? 7. the also terrible symbology used in this movie 8. the most frustrating ending i've seen, who the hell did not see the E S CALIBVR coming when little Caesar threw the sword in the air and land in a f'kn rock! like give me a break
now this review ain't all bad. there were some good laughs here and there (ex: when they all watch mira fight, and then Demetrius went to open the door for her) also i was intrigued by what character development Ambrosinus/Merlin had (the best for the whole cast, yet still the worst i've seen) when he pushed Vortgyn into the burning tree and said "burn in hell"
that's as good as this movie is gonna get and fails at trying to be this imitation of some other period-epic. i don't know whats worse the director of this movie or the author of the book. hopefully there won't be anymore movies from this author that follow the series. i can't watch another flop war/period-epic (ex: Alexander, 300, etc.)
