Rating: - British cult classic -- wonderful
This seems to be a film made out of several episodes of the British 70's TV show -- which was essential viewing for me and my brother growing up. The basic elements are still there and I was left wanting to see more. Now my son can enjoy this perhaps more realistic look at who Arthur might have been.
+: The original cast (Oliver Tobias as Arthur and Brian Blessed as Mark of Cornwall, Lud & Kai -- excellent.) +: More believable than Disney will ever produce +: Clever take on the sword-in-the-stone story (a small subplot in the film). +: Believable battle scenes (e.g. people running away when the bodies start piling up) without undue gore. -: sound track has aged and was not cleaned up (the technology exists -- they did not use it!). -: visual quality has deteriated a little (perhaps the change from PAL to USA's NTSC format?) but not too bad.
I hope they publish more episodes. Making it a film is totally unnecessary though. Many TV shows are converted successfully to video (3 or 4 shows per tape) e.g. Ab Fab, Thunderbirds, All Creates Great and Small, The Avengers.
BTW This is the least camp show I can think of -- I don't understand the previous reviewer. Perhaps he needs to have a look in the dictionary...or a word with the formidible Brian Blessed!
Rating: - King Arthur the Young Warlord
I was delighted to have (at last) obtained a copy of this. Yes, the quality of colour and sound is poor, but who cares! This was a ground-breaking programme, and it still stands up well after more than two decades. I hope one day it will be available in the original unedited version, and transferred to DVD. It deserves to be seen, just as much as Robin Of Sherwood, which is now available as a complete edition on DVD (also an HTV programme). There are thousands of people in the UK who would buy this fondly remembered series.
Rating: - Camp, Camp, Camp
Cerdic The Saxon looks more like a pizza-tossing Italian named Luigi than a tough Saxon warlord. He belongs in a 20th century pizza parlor not in 5th century Britain
BTW, this audio and visual quality of this video is HORRENDOUS. ENTER INTO YOUR VCR AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Rating: - Gritty
A gritty view of a possible 6th century Arthur. Had a good look to it.
