around the world in 80 days...start of a bit tacky, but with great cameo's and good humour it s decent film....with a bit of jacky chan violence, tops off a great nights entertainment.

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

Fair enough

"Bourne Supremacy"... Qualty mindless entertainment.

Was it better or worse than Bourne Identity?

For a second time - "House of Flying Daggers"... Best film ive seen this year, Even surpassing (and by a long way) Yimou's previous work of art 'Hero'

Very interesting; I haven't heard much about this movie, but I thoroughly enjoyed Hero. I'll make sure I check it out if I get a chance

I would like to see King Arthur.....hopefully this weekend

"I,Robot" - Average at best

"The Village" - Not buch better than "I, Robot" really

I'm a typical Brit I'm afraid - a little dumb when it comes to history - is this Arthur King guy a historical fact now - or myth as I was taught as a wee laddie (not lady)?

 

[Bjerknes]

I can't wait to see Bourne Supremacy.

as far as I know.. it's a myth (the story that we know about Arthur and Camelot..etc).. but some say it draws it's story-line from a real age and a real british leader, but it got polished and extended to what it has become thanks offcourse to the imagination and creativity of the poets and the ancestors of britain over many centuries...

but the fact remains that there was a British King called Arthur (in the sixth century I believe.. the year 500 and fourtiesh or something....:undecide: )



btw, the movie is not released here yet.. what the **** are they waiting for.. getting released on dvd...!!!??

Thanks for replying Gandalf:

To be honest I've read quite a few books on Arthur - but none of them can say he 'factually' lived - always just a myth


Anyway - who cares - lets just enjoy the movie

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

it is based on actual event. only the names of the people and the actuall events were changed

I've watched "the day after tomorrow" last night.

The plot is very stupid, but special effects are not bad at all.

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

i saw the village. it was actually pretty good if you consider "the big picture" and it had some nice irony in it but as a plot sucked too and many questions were left unanswered.

I didn't mean that he is the same person.. I was pointing out that there was a king called "Arthur" who lived and acknowledged by history as a british leader..

maybe he is the same person as the "king Arthur of Camelot".. and maybe he isn't..

but, again.. I think it's a myth..

I checked the "now showing" section for this weekend.. finally it is there.. :groan:

 

[Minfana]

I saw Ladykillers last week - absolutely hilarious

And before that Troy - ladies, do go and see it, lotsa barenakedmanflesh gorrrrrgeous Eric Bana & Brad Pitt

The Last Sammuri is a fanastic movie. I thought it would suck at first, but actually its the best movie I've seen all year. Better than Lord of the Rings, thats for sure.

 

[Elnur_E65]

Yeah, the Last Samurai was above average.

I watched this "51 first kisses" with Drew Berimore, and it was a total disaster. Yes another cheap attempt to parody the "Groundhog Day".

If Tom Cruise died though, he'd be at the same heroic level as Katsumoto, which wouldn't have been right
