Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Based on a more realistic portrayal of "Arthur" than has ever been presented onscreen. The film will focus on the history and politics of the period during which Arthur ruled -- when the Roman empire collapsed and skirmishes over power broke out in outlying countries -- as opposed to the mystical elements of the tale on which past Arthur films have focused. Written by Scott Summerton

Michael Bay was originally set to direct, but left the project due to budget concerns. Bay had developed the project for over 5 years. See more »Goofs
The Saxons invade from the North in the film, but in historical fact, they invaded from the South, as the first Saxon Kingdoms in Britain were in Kent. Also, the Saxons did not initially invade; they were invited to Britain to help defend against raiders from the North sea, later known as the Vikings. Furthermore, the Battle of Baden Hill did not occur until several centuries after the Romans had abandoned Britain, and Baden Hill itself is nowhere near Hadrian's wall, it is much farther South.

It is an excellent story about an ancient contemporaneous-to-post Roman occupation of Britain and the beginnings of the Saxon invasions. Merlin and Lancelot and Guinevere and Gawain and Galahad are all there, but in more ancient and believable roles. It is a different tale never before told and in a different time. The screenplay, acting, scenery, cinematography and casting are all extremely well-done. The men especially are cast well, and Guinevere is perfectly beautiful. The music is haunting and beautiful and fit for the time and reminds me of The Last of the Mohicans. The fights and battle scenes are exciting and done well. The only reasons I have read that some people did not like this film are that they wanted more of the same old Arthur/Camelot tale, and a 14th century setting, which, when you think about it, is totally unbelievable. This, to me, was much more believable and realistic. Move over Mallory. I really loved this one.
