I absolutely love this movie. Nigel Terry will always be King Arthur to me. He has perfect chemistry with Nicol Williamson who fricking nails it as Merlin. I need to get a helmet like that. Helen Mirren is super hot and a total fricking evil bitch as Morgana and perfect for the role due to her and Nicol’s real-life hatred for one another. Mordred in the gold suit is a scary ‘som bitch. Cameos by Gabriel Byrne, Liam Neeson, and Patrick Stewart are fun to see. The best scene IMO is when Old Lancelot returns in pure deus ex machina style and kicks Mordred’s army’s arse with a morning star while wearing padding instead of armor. I get chills every time I watch this scene. Nicholas Clay for the win! The movie also introduced me to classical music. The soundtrack is legendary in its own right. In short, this is quite an underrated gem—a great fricking movie!

Great movie and GOAT movie on the Arthur legends. My favorite is the last ride of Arthur and the knights. The music and that scene still give chills.
