I thought it was absolutely terrible, and I'm one of the people that is generally quite forgiving when it comes to inaccuracies in movies. I loved Braveheart and Gladiator, for example, and liked Troy. But this was just a total joke.<br>
<br>
The event that's supposed to get the entire movie rolling is that King Arthur and his band of merry men are sent beyond Hadrian's Wall to rescue the pope's favorite godson. This is just about the stupidest reason they possibly could have come up with to get Arthur into the conflict with the Saxons. Why in god's name would the pope's favorite godson be in Britain, let alone BEYOND Hadrian's Wall? I mean, come on, it doesn't even make sense to people who don't know anything about Roman history. I don't even want to bother going on because it just gets worse after that.<br>

The only cool scene was the battle over the ice. <p></p><i></i>
