Let's see, a big budget update of the Arthurian legend with Sean Connery as King Arthur. How could you go wrong with this starting point?
Well... you could start by casting Richard Gere as the least compelling Lancelot in the history of film, and then put him into the obstacle course straight out of "American Gladiators". Throw in a stone faced Guinevere by Julia Ormond and a lame script with insipid dialogue and voila. That's not even mentioning the handheld crossbows that the villains sport, perhaps the least inspiring misuse of a historical weapon since the exploding cannonballs in "Cutthroat Island".
Final judgement - One bad movie.
One out of 10.
