Goofs:
Continuity: During the night battle with Malagant's forces, flaming arrows loosed against the camp are sent in an overhead arc (in order to travel the required distance). When Malagant's forces are seen being shot by these arrows, the arrows are traveling at a near-horizontal trajectory instead of falling from above. more

Not only stupid, but ugly, 6 March 2006
1/10
Author: margmusg

What woman would ever have trouble choosing between Sean Connery, even an old one (James Bond!), and Richard Gere (American Gigolo)? Guinevere's "dilemma" becomes ridiculous! Besides, the point of the Arthur tragedy is that Guinevere and Lancelot DO betray Arthur. Here, they just think about it and kiss once. (An abstinence-only Camelot legend?) On top of that, the movie is hideous. The costume designer should never be allowed to work again. Everybody wears some combination of blue and yellowish brown. Why would Arthur and his wife and his knights all wear the same colors? Why such ugly colors anyway? I agree with most reviewers that this movie is a terrible waste of some decent actors.
