I really did not like this film for the first 40 minutes. But I came to like it once Arthur stopped being Henry II's petulant youngest John. Nigel Terry just barely works. He looks to much like the imbecile John in Lion In Winter and early on act that way too. As most of the film becomes a pleasure to watch the feeble attempts at comedy/humor make me think of Monty Python rendition of prancing knights with no horses. Clippity Clop.
The quality and story otherwise being near excellent, we can look past the poor casting of Arthur, Merlin, and Percival. Also the amateurish bits of the directors. It is such there had to be some assistants directing.
