Excalibur

The all-time greatest adaptation of 'King Arthur'. A dark fantasy titan with mythical aesthetics. I watched this 6 months ago and have non-stop thought of it ever since. So much so, I bought a Blu-ray exclusive. The cinematography, score, costumes, sets, casting, practicality, locations, editing, effects, dialogue, action, storytelling, and more all feel legendary. Technical things like lighting can change the entire atmosphere of a scene, and John Boorman proves it. People say it's aged poorly, but I have to disagree. Cinema in 1981 is almost inimitable today with decades between audiences, rules, technology, etc. The older it gets, the more fairytale-like the lore and fantasy feel. Can't believe that's Neeson, Mirren and Stewart.

Been a minute but great 80s, medieval, fantasy gold! If I remember correctly, a VERY YOUNG Liam Neeson.

Is a great old-school fantasy movie I love not having a lot of CGI if any in it. A lot of big-time actors that are pretty young in this which is cool to see. Overall, if you’re looking for an old school medieval fantasy movie, this is a great one to watch.

Merlin’s stupid little cap thing pmo so much


Anyways, I thought the last act was rly good, but they definitely needed to condense some of the middle. It also is pretty dated, but the costumes and music is still very nice.

Love this classic
