Review of Excalibur (1981) by Familiar S — 09 Sep 2010

I haven't read the book it's based on, but have read one of the chapters. Besides, I've also watched a Bollywood movie slightly based on this story. So I thought I'd be at a disadvantage here.

And to an extent, I was, especially for first half an hour or so. But as the story moved to unfamiliar lands (for me), I began to find it relatively interesting. However, knowing the story wasn't the only thing that kept me from enjoying the movie in the beginning.

Besides that, the performances by almost every actor seemed to be theatrical for around the first whole hour. After that, I guess I got used to it & it didn't remain as much of a problem. Nothing much to recommend here from my end.
