Assassin/Guinevere Reviews
Visually distracting
As much as I wanted to be swept away into this story, I couldn't get past Guinevere with short soccer mom hair (!) and the yarn "chain mail" sweaters. Not to mention the poor sound quality. Sure, maybe they had a small budget, but you see better costumes at any Ren-faire...you'd think some arrangement could have been made. I can't recommend this film.
Not the traditional tale, but still worth a look.
It definatly isn't the traditional tale. It takes quite a few little liberties some of the characters and their relations (nothing a non-obssesed Arthur fan would notice). It's a beginning story (tells about the establishment of his kingdom, not his reign and end). Unfortunatly Arthur's wonderfuly simple wisdom, royal knowledge and extreme goodness of character are sacraficed to give Guinevere more of the spotlight (and the credit for the kingdom). Another thing that was lost was the beautiful chemistry, tension and thrill of the incredible Lancelot-Guinevere-Arthur love triangle. That would probalbly be my greatest chritism. But it is Arthur story (and therefore practically impossible to ruin). And it's also nice to get a good look at Guinevere. I always enjoy hearing the story from her persepective. Lee's acting was rather weak, but Flannery and Whyle were superb. Take a look.
