Kaamelott - Premier volet

The series is amazing. 10 stars. But the film was quite underwhelming.

Arthur is forced to come back and ends up accepting his role. Basically that is the whole film.

The costumes are ridiculous. In the series they were quite of the time or at least as we think of as of the time. In the film they look like something out of Dr Who (fans will know what I mean).

Definitely don't watch if you haven't watched the TV show because you will not understand otherwise.

Great movie good Director the end falls a little flat even though we know there are potential sequels. That being said it's not always easy to go from TV capsules to feature this time it can be regarded as successful.

After 10 years of absence Kaamelott is back with the perfect sequels. You get to see again all the characters you felt in love with and if they look a bit older they haven't changed one bit. Kaamelott is the sequel fans dreamed of.

How was the Humor ?

The thing is that everyone has a difference sense of humor. I noticed in the theater that people were laughing at different moments , some moments I was not laughing but the people in front of us were crying of laughter and vice-versa. I personally taught it was hilarious. So much that my wife and I are already planing when we will go see it again. If you love the Humor of the original 4 first seasons expect to find similar Humor in there.

The music is amazing and goes wonderfully with the movie, so much that we might buy the soundtrack.

The costumes and locations were perfect , we truly are in the universe of Kaamelott.

The only place where the movie looses a point is towards the end of the movie , it feels like there is a scene missing to an otherwise perfect movie.

Would people who never watched the series understand and enjoy it ?

I would honestly hope so however these characters are already, for the most part, well established in their universe, it's hard to predict how much of the subtilities a newcomer to the serie would understand.

Overall, all I can say is that as a fan , I wasn't disappointed!

I love the serie... but this movie try to tell a story and insert joke here and there, without ever truly committing to the movie format. It dragged some scene and include a backstory for no reason. It is darker than it suppose to be and we exit the theatre wondering 'what did i just watch?". I laughed a few time but as much as would have expected. Some people in the theatre didnt know the serie and left. I dont understand the praise.. It is not bad but not as good as the critics told me. A lighter tone would have helped.

The movie's good but feels like a succession of sometimes oddly cut episodes of the TV show.

Astier slightly missed the transition to cinema by getting trapped by the profusion of characters and the need to have them all -or almost all of them- appear (to appeal to the fanbase?).

Good experience thought, with some really fun moments and some storylines getting picked back up.
