 Avoid it July 6, 2004
Cristol David (Toulouse, France)
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Well, what a fun cast, good premises, big disappointment. The DVD version is changed from cinemascope to full screen, the picture is pretty dark and blurry. The film is not too good to begin with, but is acceptable. What's the point of issuing it on DVD with such a sloppy edition? Beats me.
 Sword Valiant Review May 4, 2004
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Great film, features Sean Connery and a host of familiar faces, except the blonde haired actor playing the main character! The film really captures the spirit of arthurian stories. No extra features though which is disappointing.
 Silly movie, bad DVD February 6, 2008
NoWireHangers (Sweden)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a very silly but somewhat enjoyable fantasy movie, starring Miles O'Keeffe (in a very bad wig) as Sir Gawain. Muscle man O'Keeffe is helped by a strong supporting cast, including Sean Connery (in a smaller part than you'd expect from a title character, and an even worse wig), Lila Kedrova, Peter Cushing and John Rhys-Davies. The movie has a paper thin plot and bad special effects. Don't expect a quality movie, but seen as campy entertainment, it almost works.
The DVD is very bad. From a major studio like MGM, I would have expected better. The movie is meant to be shown with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, but this release (except for the opening credits) is badly pan and scanned, and there's very few scenes that don't suffer greatly from it. The action scenes are especially bad but also some dialogue scenes look awful, with half of each characters head cut out. I found this cheap and I would not advice anyone to pay the full price for such a bad DVD. But if you really want to see the movie, try to see if you can find a cheap copy.
 Absolutely Brilliant mystical fun! February 26, 2006

This has to be one of the campest arthurian films available with bad hairdos and spandex tights aplenty! Brilliant acting and scene play and AMAZING music makes this mystical comedy worthy of the same respect of Sword and the sorceror, Krull and Hawk the Slayer!! A MUST HAVE FOR FANTASY FANS!!!!
