Was it that special girl, or a favorite rock 'n roll combo, or just the realization that you were hanging out with a bunch of losers?Whatever the reason, Jeremy Irons' masterful 2000 performance is guaranteed to remind you of that feeling again. There's a whole big wide world out there- surely you must have something better to do.

I have enjoyed most of the movies regarding the Arthur legend. Excalibur and King Arthur being my two favorites. First Knight was a smoking turd though.And for anyone that needs a good laugh...check out the trailer for Dragon Wars.http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808746240/trailerYeesh!

sauromatian wrote:On the other hand, this isn't strictly realistic either. A video game-type character throws itself into death without reservation, or shrugs off damage like Wile E. Coyote. Movies for adults require motivation from the characters. When someone gets badly beaten up, all the mundane effects of concussions & broken teeth must be dealt with plausibly.From a military standpoint, a commander who squanders his forces in dramatic battles of anhilliation at first opportunity is incompetant.
