Amazon.com essential video:
This lush retelling of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is a dark and engrossing tale. Director John Boorman (Deliverance) masterfully handles the tale of the mythical sword Excalibur, and its passing from the wizard Merlin to the future king of England. Arthur pulls the famed sword from a stone and is destined to be crowned king. As the king embarks on a passionate love affair with Guenevere, an illegitimate son, and Merlin's designs on power, threaten Arthur's reign. The film is visually stunning and unflinching in its scenes of combat and black magic. Featuring an impressive supporting cast, including early work from the likes of Liam Neeson and Gabriel Byrne, Excalibur is an adaptation of the legend both faithful and bold. --Robert Lane

My husband and I had seen this in the theatre when it was first released. We remembered it as "really good"...Well apparently tastes change. After 17 years (and one Lord of the Rings Trilogy!) this one makes you laugh or cringe-depending on the scene. The only good part was Sir Percival throwing the sword back to the Lady of the Lake at the end. Thr rest was a lot of clanking, hoof beats, yelling (was everyone deaf?) and hacking. Just plain dumb.

All in all, and after watching several recent versions and variations on the topic of Arthurian legends, Boorman's 1981 movie remains an almost perfect combination of script, acting, photography, and music. He takes the legend simply to an epic tale. I highly recommend this over any other of its kind. About the DVD itself, the NTSC version that I own provides a standard picture format only. I recently got a PAL version that is widescreen and the difference is meaningful, particularly when it comes ... Read More

MAN! When I saw this movie I thought that it would be the serious version of Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail but instead this one IS THE JOKE!
I don't usually complain about low budget films, but this one is much worse than that! I mean... The acting isn't good, the picture quality is poor, the battles were BADLY choreographied, the storyline is SLOW and long, the editing is HORRIBLE (you see most of the events in far view camera), there isn't to much action and adventure ...

Okay..I have never claimed to be the brightest star in the sky! I bought this thinking it was a regular DVD and doesn't play on my player. Would need to buy the HD format player that is not being sold now. So be aware of your purchases. This is totally my own fault but don't want others to do the same 15.00 mistake.

From the lust of Uther Pendragon and the sorcery of Merlin is born the legendary King Arthur, the Once and Future King. Claimed at birth by the wizard Merlin and raised as the son of good Sir Ector, Arthur grows up to be a wiser man than his father, though still greatly swayed by emotion over logic. His royal lineage is made known when he pulls the sword Excalibur from the stone as a boy, and from then on, Arthur rules Britain in glory until the schemes of his half-sister, the evil witch Morgana, bring ...
