Essentially it's probably the best cinematic telling of the Arthurian legend , it's beautifully shot and the cast is good up to a point but it's spoiled by having a hero with a heavy Bristolian accent which makes him sound daft as a youngster and without authority as the king , the same reason David Prowse was dubbed by James Earl Jones in Star Wars .
Secondly the sound track whilst written with the same story in mind albeit many years previously, sounds jarring and for all intents and purposes suggests they ran out of money and decided to licence Wagner as a cost cutting measure to the film's detriment.
Lastly , the sound was badly recorded so dialogue had to be dubbed later and it's a really poor job reminiscent of the cheapest spaghetti westerns of the seventies .
If you can get past this it's a great film .
