 Okay But Way OverLong. December 3, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was always intrested in the Arthur legend and the knights of the round table so when I picked this up promising a whole different story to the imfamous tale, I had to know. After sitting through the three hours of adventure, magic and romance, it is okay but a hell load of problems. Why does it need to be three hours long? There could have been so much cut out and make a near two hour film but it drained on and on that you suddenly start losing any care of the people. The script is a massive let-down, when they say things they sound stiff and wooden. The unknowns who played Arthur and Lancelot were terrible, not one showing emotion to their dead-pan faces. Guinevere was a total bitch, matchmaking Arthur's sister to a old man and that's wrong just because she didn't get a kid! The threesome I will not speak about because it's just digusting and ain't right. The big names like Anjelica Huston and Hans Matheson are okay but are let-down with very little screen time. In all, it's okay but way overlong and has big disappointments.
The Mists of Avalon review. September 28, 2008
This film struggles to be as close to the book of Marion Zimmer-bradley, but it is not. It gives an idea though, and urges the viewr to be a reader of the wonderful inspiring book of the late Marion. The music is excellent, though and Angelica Huston a brilliant actress as always. And Margulies is the perfect Morgaine. I would love to see in the future, though another film or mini series, "faithful" to the book.
 Beautiful. June 12, 2008
I read this book many years ago and only recently saw the film for the first time. It is amazing. Yes it is not the same as the book, but what do you expect? Books and films are different media and by its very nature the film could never convey the entire story as presented in the book, it does however capture its essense beautifully.br /br /The sacred marriage between the Goddess and the King is beautifully presented and symbolically and ritualistically amazing.
It was certainly interesting, and raised a few eyebrows! April 29, 2007

Well, where to begin?! As a whole, this film was watchable, but what most stood out was the new take this film had on the old legends. br /br /SPOILER BELOW!br /br /I watched this film for the first time yesterday, and me and my friends are still laughing about one bit in particular, namely, Arthur inviting Launcelot and Guinevere into his bed for a threesome!!! I certainly don't remember reading that in any of the original legends! Arthur didn't invite them into his bed out of perversion, (so he claimed). You will have to watch to find out why this event occurred. The most interesting and original bit about the film though, was the linking of the Pagan goddess to the Virgin Mary, and the way Excalibur (in this film, a symbol of the goddess) became a cross, so linking the old religion with the new. I also loved the predator and the prey being used as a metaphor for Mordred and Arthur. Mordred was well-played in this film though Arthur could have been better. I couldn't stand Guinevere though, I have never liked the Guinevere character much but in this film she was so annoying that I just wanted to slap her! Slightly different take on Mordred's conception as well. It's worth watching anyway.

Based on Marion Zimmer Bradley's novel The Mists of Avalon, the best book of the Avalon series, this lenghty film brings you back to a world of magic, intrigue and battle. No unusual special effects or complex action scenes but a pretty straightforward approach. The characters are well portrayed by the cast and the story evolves at a good pace, with an interesting plot, but without any incomprehensible turns and twists. A very straightforward film, beautifully done.
