Just saw I, Robot right now, not that good, but better than I thought.

I agree; it was interesting, but he gets too personal, and it's not even subtle either. He keeps saying things like "What kind of President is he?"
I'm actually surprised that you liked it, being an apparent historical purist. I liked the movie at face value, but I have a few bones to pick.. I may not be correct about some of this 'history', but I noticed a few things...
Where's morgana le faye and them lot?
The knights aren't very knightly at all
Merlin's a homeless mountain monkey
They constantly fought in extremely annoying, unrealistic-looking fog
What happened to camelot?
What happened to the legend of the sword in the stone?
What happened to the fact that he was an orphan?
Le morte d'arthur did a hundred times more justice to the legend.
Not enough eye candy even :groan: Speaking of which, Keira Knightley wasn't needed in the movie whatsoever. The love theme added nothing to the movie at all IMO, unnecessary Hollywood addition

Shrek 2! This movie is so crazy. I bet anyone other has already seen it, but the movies in Austria come out a month or so later than in the U.S.
Can I get any info about Fahrenheit 9/11? I have to see this movie after I have seen Bowling for Columbine (one of the best I have ever seen!), I can't wait for the new Moore docu!

They mentioned the sword, but it wasn't really in the stone, and there's nobody there to see him pull it out. Basically they just show him getting the sword in a 30 second flashback, but he just pulls it out of the ground 
As I said, if you take it at face value it's a decent movie, but in terms of 'historical' accuracy and faithfulness to the original legend, it's shaky at best.
Okay, what I meant was... if they're gonna put her in the movie, at least make good use of it and please the male audience. Don't add her for the blatant sake of eye candy and then not make good use of the resources at hand, especially if said character shouldn't really have played the part she did in the movie in the first place.

you lost me there. Moaning about a lack of eye candy then wanting probably the most stunning actress on the planet right now to not be in the film?

Gray, I thought this movie wasnt going back to the traditional British King Arthur, instead to the original King Arthur back in the Roman time? Isnt his story different fromt he variation that English people put their own version of King Arthur? It said something like that in the beggining of the film.

btw, anybody saw the lady killers...? is it good..?
I think you are mistaking a legend / myth with historical accuracy...
This is by far the most historically accurate version of king arthur so far.
(outside of certain chosen locations... what was it with having a certain episode at hadrians wall when we know full well, said incident was down south - though i spose it made a nice set)
The whole point of this fim was to take the story from what is actually known in history about arthur and that time, not to jus rehash the legend / myth
AS such i enjoyed it very much and if i want to see the legend i'll jus stick excalibur on
