Maybe if i had seen this as a teen or at least nearer the decade it was made but i just couldn't take it seriously. The actors do very well, as good as they can be without laughing, kudos to the actress who doesn't laugh whilst making love to a knight in full armour whilst she is totally naked. The story jumps around a bit much for me and Arthur is lacking as we don't see him grow up, just born then a teen picking up a sword. It does cover a huge amount of the legends and there are some good moments and a good script, but i feel unless you watched it in the 80's you will never truly love it.
Better Than This: The Sword In The Stone (1963) Brilliant Arthur tale told as only Disney can, Legend (1985) Tim Curry is the best devil, ever!, Monty Python And The Holy Grail (1975) Loose retelling but very very funny.
