First off this is one of the better tales of Arthurian legend.
Story wise it's fascinating , set pieces , costuming are phenomenal however, where this film falls is the shocking acting ability, or lack of. The cast are truly appalling. Nigel Terry is laughable and cringeworthy, in a recent rewatch of this film he makes me want to turn it off. Patrick Stuart with a strange Brian blessed style over acting, Nicol Williamson as Merlin is probably one of the best but even he hams it up considerably. Gweniviere and Helen Miren as Morgana the only saving grace of talent seen here.
The dialogue may be to blame but so is the direction.
Visually 10 out of 10 Looses points for the terrible performances .
