I saw it yesterday. It was very entertaining. Very exciting combat scenes but it continues the time-honored tradition for directors of medieval/ancient movies to add fire/napalm like weapons started in Spartacus, 300 Spartans, Braveheart, Fall of the Roman Empire and Gladiator. I liked the characters, all strong individuals bound together by loyalty to Arthur. I did not like the fact that Arthur led only six other cavalrymen. I don't care how much 'quality' you have you must have some 'quantity' as well. I was also surprised that they would portray the Battle of Badon Hill as occuring on Hadrian's Wall. On the other hand I don't expect accuracy from movies, just entertainment and the movie had that in abundance.<br>
