Guinevere

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

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.

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 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.

The story of Camelot as told through a haze of Eostrogen. It seems that Guinevere was the real hero of Camelot. She was a self sacrificing leader driven by her desire to unite Britain in an era of prosperity and peace. All that stands in the way are these nasty men....

Even Morgan LaFey has been given an update and is not as evil as she is usually portrayed.

Overall I enjoyed this version, and who's to say it's not a truer version of the real events. At least in this version Arthur's and Lancelot's love of Guinevere is motivated and explained and they are both easy on the eyes.
