i have see the movie excalibur many time and and i believe it be an excellant movie . many people say that it be cheezy look ( yes and excalibur the sword do get a tad flexible at point . ) however and be not the day the earth stand still cheezy too and yet it be one of the great movie of all time and most people agree . and if anyone try to down the movie by claim it be not true to the legend and i have read many arthurian text and and the legend be not true to the legend . john boorman pick through the haystack and and find his needle . another excellant thing about this movie be for the most part and the acting be underscored . not like in many modern movie and i believe nicol williamson and helen mirren and all the actor from the round table and and mrs. boorman do excellant job . the only complaint i have be so minor they practically do not exist . so go and see the movie and and be sweep away .
