Editorial Review: Product Description: This dazzling action-packed retelling of the legend of camelot features spellbinding cinematography and stellar performances. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Nicol Williamson Nigel Terry Run time: 140 minutes Rating: R Director: John Boorman Amazon.com essential video: This lush retelling of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is a dark and engrossing tale. Director John Boorman (Deliverance) masterfully handles the tale of the mythical sword Excalibur, and its passing from the wizard Merlin to the future king of England. Arthur pulls the famed sword from a stone and is destined to be crowned king. As the king embarks on a passionate love affair with Guenevere, an illegitimate son, and Merlin's designs on power, threaten Arthur's reign. The film is visually stunning and unflinching in its scenes of combat and black magic. Featuring an impressive supporting cast, including early work from the likes of Liam Neeson and Gabriel Byrne, Excalibur is an adaptation of the legend both faithful and bold. --Robert Lane Average Rating:
 Rating:  - THE SWORD IN THE STONE !!!ARTHUR! ARTHUR! Classic Tale and Legend that I've been fascinated with since I was a little kid! Was there really a King Arthur? Merlin? Knights of the round table? Camelot? Legends are born out of truths! One day I will take on the quest to find out and look for the TRUE HOLY GRAIL! ....Peace. Rating:  - Excalibur, The Movie of all MoviesThis movie is by far the best and most well thought about the subject of King Arthur. Though the acting may not be of Oscar-status, it is still the best in its class. Movies today can only hope to achieve the type of status that "Excalibur" has. Rating:  - Oh brother...My husband and I had seen this in the theatre when it was first released. We remembered it as "really good"...Well apparently tastes change. After 17 years (and one Lord of the Rings Trilogy!) this one makes you laugh or cringe-depending on the scene. The only good part was Sir Percival throwing the sword back to the Lady of the Lake at the end. Thr rest was a lot of clanking, hoof beats, yelling (was everyone deaf?) and hacking. Just plain dumb. Rating: - Near perfectionAll in all, and after watching several recent versions and variations on the topic of Arthurian legends, Boorman's 1981 movie remains an almost perfect combination of script, acting, photography, and music. He takes the legend simply to an epic tale. I highly recommend this over any other of its kind. About the DVD itself, the NTSC version that I own provides a standard picture format only. I recently got a PAL version that is widescreen and the difference is meaningful, particularly when it comes ... Read More Rating:  - Interesting but LACKS EXCITEMENT!!!!MAN! When I saw this movie I thought that it would be the serious version of Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail but instead this one IS THE JOKE! I don't usually complain about low budget films, but this one is much worse than that! I mean... The acting isn't good, the picture quality is poor, the battles were BADLY choreographied, the storyline is SLOW and long, the editing is HORRIBLE (you see most of the events in far view camera), there isn't to much action and adventure ...
