The Green Knight

The first - the reserves about the great story reduced to 42 minutes short film . Later - easy to define it as decent. And nice. Or , just correct.

Callum Adams offers a fair job, Mark Freeman is just the impressive knight and the only problem seems the portrait of Arthur offered by Keefe Haley , the only motif being , in essence, the not so inspired words , too pathetic, fake in high measure and far by the image consacrated of legendary king.

In fact, a good sketch for memorable story defining English literature. And this is the only reasonable criterion for judge it.

So, maybe not great but, obvious, correct.

Callum Adams is the easy on the eye adventurer at the court of his uncle, the legendary King Arthur. He needs a quest, though. He's restless and wanders the seemingly pretty lawless countryside getting into scrapes as he goes. Then at a banquet, an huge and mysterious knight arrives and dares someone to cut off his head! "Gawain" steps up to the plate only to discover, well you know the myth. It's a story of courage and faith, and had this had a bit more of a budget then it might have delivered a little better. As it is, though, what we really get is a rather meandering collection of loosely connected single-camera cinematography peppered with very little dialogue, some rather wooden acting and a few feebly choreographed combat scenes. It does look quite authentic though, and is rescued to an extent by some intensity from the last ten minutes but it's still quite a long watch for not much action.
