nice unpretentious movie unfairly disparaged

These nice, unpretentious movies should get better press when compared with junk AAA+ budget kolossals. Someone complains about the 'cartoon strips' inserted here & there in the movie...they didn't delight me, either...but I guess it was a way scriptwriters had to... Full review

This movie was an unfortunate waste of time, money and talent. It has all the ingredients for great entertainment. A clear hero, beautiful princess, chivalry, castles etc.. The props and costumes department obviously put a lot of effort in the movie... Full review

I liked the panoramic artwork which is very like the painstakingly done quarter of a quarter broadsheet spread frames of the syndicated Sunday comics supplements of the '50s. The special effect used to make those artworks seem to melt into... Full review

This is one of those movies getting trashed by people without any good reason (just like Showgirls and Last Action Hero, which I both consider to be very entertaining movies). I've watched it a second time last night and was... Full review

Villainy, jousting, swordplay, a princess in peril, an unknowing prince on a quest, and all in the shadow of Excalibur: what more could the average ten year old would-be Knight ask for? Set in the days of Round Table chivalry,... Full review

After seeing the somewhat visually overwhelming Lord of the Rings trilogy, this was a pretty decent fantasy film to watch. Whilst most of the characters were pretty generic, some were good to watch, especially Prince Valiant. The violence was pretty... Full review

I really enjoyed watching this well-done movie. It is not too brutal, witty and has the right dose of humor. Besides it has a very good cast of well-known actors like Katherine Heigl ("Roswell") the great Joanna Lumley ("Absolutely Fabulous"),... Full review

The film is fun....The combined achievements of the folks (and their forebears) who made this heavy-metal sword-and-sorcery romp are more interesting than the movie itself.....Princess Ilene (Katherine Heigl) is bodacious and resourceful, and the handsome Prince Valiant (Stephen Moyer) kicks butt....THE British-German co-production of this comic-strip tale is perfect for anyone who's eight or 10 years old.... ...
