While by no means a perfect movie, Excalibur is worth a watch for the well chosen score, incredible physicality of the sets and interesting performances and story.

   Is Excalibur unrealistic?

   • Excalibur is not realistic. It is the film of a legend, and it tries to create a world of legend. Once one has realized that this is not the real world, then the film is internally consistent and works splendidly.

   Roger Ebert. January 1, 1981. 4 min read. What a wondrous vision “Excalibur” is! And what a mess. This wildly ambitious retelling of the legend of King Arthur is a haunting and violent version of the Dark Ages and the heroic figures who (we dream) populated them.

   Over two hours in length and boasting a formidable cast, Excalibur is considered by many to be the definitive version of the tale. Though it is flawed as all great visions are, it is hard to imagine any other version coming close to its atmosphere and impact.

    It's very much of its own style, and the fact that Zach Snyder considers Excalibur his favorite movie makes just so much sense. It's the traditional Arthurian legend filtered through the crazy mind of John Boorman.
