Excalibur description This lush retelling of the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is a dark and engrossing tale. Director John Boorman (Deliverance) masterfully handles the tale of the mythical sword Excalibur, and its passing from the wizard Merlin to the future king of England. Arthur pulls the famed sword from a stone and is destined to be crowned king. As the king embarks on a passionate love affair with Guenevere, an illegitimate son, and Merlin's designs on power, threaten Arthur's reign. The film is visually stunning and unflinching in its scenes of combat and black magic. Featuring an impressive supporting cast, including early work from the likes of Liam Neeson and Gabriel Byrne, Excalibur is an adaptation of the legend both faithful and bold. --Robert Lane |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Not a showcase for HD |
| This movie is a very entertaining rendering of the classic Arthurian tale with spirited acting and lots of familar faces. I own this movie on DVD and bought it on HD DVD hoping to get a brighter and more pristine looking copy. Sadly, the visual clarity of the HD version is not much better than the standard DVD version. There are scenes in the movie that look like they were cleaned up for HD but not enough so that I can recommend the HD version of Excalibur to fans hoping to get an exceptionally beautiful copy of one of their favorite movies. | |
