Guinevere - A Rainha de Excalibur

I was coming down from a hangover state when I saw this movie ... and it still couldn't satisfy me. I thought it would be good. The cast looks fine, and the story was one that I could of gotten very interested in. Instead I get a piece of low budget junk used to fill in a rained out game slot. Bad acting, an even worse script, and enough British ethnical slurs to start a war. Though I gave it a 2/10, because this is probably the most accurate movie ever made that was based on the story.

A low budget spiritual predecessor to the Mists of Avalon. Based on Woolley's novels, it gets quite talky at times

This was a cheap movie. Thus treat it as such. Sheryl Lee seems to be the only one with any real acting ability. Everyone else including Noah. yikes. What they got very wrong was that editing. Wow. Okay here's the music mid stride. Cut. Next scene wait what? At least 3 glaring cuts that were that bad..

What they got right. Other than cutting the music mid stride. Is well the music. The music is about the only reason to Listen <---- to this movie. Otherwise it makes no sense. Plot holes throughout the movie. This makes Merlin's Apprentice look way better.

Quality: 2/10 Entertainment: 6/10 Re-Playable: maybe in another lifetime. With the exception of the music. 0/10

I am one who doesn't think any Arthurian movie can top Boorman's 'Excalibur'. With that said, this movie is not all that bad. The story has most of the core elements of the Arthurian legends. It has a few interesting plot twists which are worth viewing if you are a die-hard fan of the legends. It's no masterpiece, but it's a low-budget TV movie and not a high-budget motion picture. Most of the dialogue and acting is purely professional and Shakespearean in it's approach. I think it could have been cast somewhat better however, the characters of Noah Wyle (Lancelot) and Sean Patrick Flanery (King Arthur) should have been switched. I can clearly see why this alone receives mixed reviews.

Guinevere surely won't win any awards, but for a single viewing it is entertaining to the right audience.

I was excited when looking on this site I saw that there was a movie made based on the books by Persia Woolley, I have been a fan for a long time. However, this movie in no way reflects Persia's wonderful books, not even close. Guinevere is some tomboy out fighting, Arthur is some frat boy idiot and Lancelot is some angry boy. They leave out almost all of the story and barely have the other characters. The acting is boring and not that great. The only thing I can say that was good was the scenery was nice and the overall feel of the time. There is nothing that fits the books or even a decent view of the Arthurian legend. The story doesn't showcase the wonderful character Persia wrote and that is a shame, they had great source material. The movie is boring and forgettable. My advise is to read the three books Persia Woolley wrote, they are great and much more entertaining.
