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.

6/10

7.5/10, this film had incredible cinematography and locations were perfect. While it’s a faithful adaptation of the King Arthur story and details the entirety of it, some of the characters & storylines could’ve been fleshed out more. That being said, HELL YEAH DARK FANTASY!
