The King Arthur<\/i><\/a> flick coming out this summer looks like it could be mildly entertaining. It takes a refreshing Romano-Celtic spin on the Arthur legend, which is certainly closer to the rhistorical eality of whomever Arthur was (or were) than films like Excalibur<\/i>. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, I don’t think the trailer’s repeatedly-touted “truth” of the Arthur legend involved Guenevere as Boudicca, Merlin, or, of course, the French Romantic insertion to the tale, Lancelot.<\/p>\n

Still, possibly a fun DVD to borrow in the Fall.<\/p>\n
