Review of Camelot

Camelot (2011)
3/10
High hopes...didn't pan out
7 July 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Coming off of Spartacus Blood & Sand AND THEN Game Of Thrones, perhaps the bar was too high in my mind, but Camelot was pretty bad. The location is nice, but you can feel the cheaper production value (especially after watching Game Of Thrones) and lack of polish in this series. They try to have nudity and sexcapades like Spartacus, but everything else just doesn't "work". Everyone seems well casted EXCEPT for Arthur. Its like they thought to themselves, "Hey what do people REALLY want in a Arthur character??...LETS MAKE HIM LOOK AND ACT like a Boy Band pansy!" Seriously, its really hard to get behind Jamie Bowen (or whatever his name is) as Arthur, hes way to soft and feminine and doesn't inspire me to think, "wow this guy can really take the character all the way". Lastly, i love the genre and want this type of show to do well and in all honestly i could only make it through ONE episode so..maybe i'm missing out...but after ONE episode of Spartacus & Game Of Thrones i Couldn't wait to watch the next one...with Camelot i was glad it was over and felt like i wasted my time.
