Diagonaldi Very well executed

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Catharina_Sweden A quite theatrical rendering of the Camelot story, that grips over too much in just a normal-length feature film: The love triangle Arthur-Guinevere-Lancelot of course, Mordred's upheaval, Merlin, Elaine and Galahad, the Holy Grail and even God's own voice (that sounded suspiciously American, to that! :-D ) One can also say a lot about other actors' pronounced American accents, and the masking is not very convincing at times (King Arthur and his beard is the worst).There are also some discrepancies here from the original story, or maybe one should say - the most common story. For instance, in this movie Lancelot and Elaine were married, but in the common story they were not. They had Galahad together, but this was because Elaine tricked Lancelot to sleep with her - when he thought she was Guinevere. Also, Merlin was murdered in the movie, while in reality this was not possible - he was living "backwards", and had at the time of the love triangle become too young to be a court magician and counsellor anymore.There is some fine dialogue, though, and something of Camelot is there in the spirit and adventure. If you like beautiful ladies in wonderful (stage) medieval dresses, handsome knights in shining armour, hearty sword fights, courtly behaviour, wonderful landscapes with mysterious old castles, etc. etc., everything in bright colouring - you will like this movie!

rogerblake-281-718819 I first saw this film as a twelve year old when you had a continuance performance and I literally had to be dragged from my seat by members of the local constabulary as my mother had reported me missing when I didn't turn up on the bus.What an experience for a young lad,knights in shining armour,jousting,battles and sword fighting.Heroes riding to the rescue of fair damsels,wrongs to be righted and villains to be thwarted,and all in glorious Technicolor and Cinemascope.I didn't go much on the lovey dovey stuff but at least it was kept within reason.I recently saw the film again,perhaps I am getting cynical in my old age because although it was still very entertaining I could see what a load of rubbish it really was.Fair play to the cast who take it all very seriously and an approving nod to Robert Taylor,Ava Gardner,Mel Ferrer and especially Stanley Baker,his villainous turn was something else.The best way to enjoy this film is to treat it as a cross between a Carry On film and an old fashioned English pantomime.It is meant to be pure entertainment and as Sam Goldwyn so aptly put it "Messages are for Western Union".Did such heroes as the Knights of the Round Table,Robin Hood and St George of merry England really exist? I would like to think so and if they didn't then they jolly well should have done.In these desperate times we could really use heroes such as these.Perhaps we should stick to Hollywood's version of the Middle Ages because the reality was vastly different.It was the age of the thumbscrew,the rack and the branding iron and as for methods of execution if you were impaled,burnt at the stake or hung,drawn and quartered you were probably lucky because imaginative magistrates could soon find other ways of having you dispatched.Just to add to the general misery you also had the plague and the black death.If you want to see a more realistic take on the Round Table Cornel Wilde's Lancelot and Guinevere is well worth a look.Finally if you have a strong enough stomach Vincent Price in The Witchfinder General gives a bleakly realistic view of late medieval England during the English civil war.Personally I think Hollywood's version of "merry" England is much more fun.

poj-man The Knights of the Round Table is standard G rated romantic fantasy. In the 1950's it was larger budget epic with scenes at places such as a recreated Stonehenge. Everyone wears clean colorful clothing. The lines are clearly enunciated like a stage play. The knights and ladies are quite chivalrous.One can also see how the Monty Python crew watched this film and found it quite silly. To listen to the way the actors and actresses speak to each other the way that they do makes one rolls ones eyes with laughter. Lancelot comes across the maiden Elaine in the woods. Elaine is just wandering the woods in her Barbie Doll fantasy mind. She is so young and virginal looking. She prayed for a knight to come and seep her away and "poof" Lancelot appears. So do 5 other knights for Lancelot to gleefully fight because, you know, that's what knights do. Of course the girl is virginally horny watching her brave knight fight; too bad it is the 1950's or we would be treated to some Zoot action in today's wold! (sigh) The parodies Monty Python worked into The Holy Grail are quite obvious.Take a chill pill and enjoy the ride.

inspectors71 Amid the costumes and the cardboard, the Arthurian Legend gets lost in 1954's Knights of the Round Table, a dreary and verbose clanger with Robert Taylor, Ava Gardner, and Mel Ferrer. I remember watching bits and pieces of this Medieval clunker when I was a kid (who'd ask a ten year old to sit through two hours of stilted yabber, punctuated with an occasional sword fight?) and I had never realized how serpentine Mel Ferrer was, how Stonehenge-sturdy Robert Taylor could be, and how Ava Gardner's beauty could be spoiled with the metric tonne of makeup she wore.I wouldn't bother with the plot--it's old hat, or in this case, rusty helmet. Needless to say, there're goodies spouting honorable twaddle and baddies giving each other knowing glances, and oozing E-Vill. There's even some religious stuff about the Holy Grail.Just to be nasty, did anyone ever think that it might be best if the toupees should come off in order to make the actors look a bit less like cartoon characters? And how about losing the tights for something more trouser-ish? Oh, well. KOTRT was made in a bygone era, some 55 years ago, when the conventions of a costume drama were quite different than the occasional period-piece bloodbath we have to endure in our modern time. If you can stay awake through the blather, you might just enjoy this nonsense.Maybe a little, maybe a came-lot.Oh, Lord. I deserve my head on a pike for that one.
