What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I personally love this movie.....Whoopi always makes me laugh and this was no exception. I have to give this a 9 out of ten because they didn't make a sequel. Whoopi is truly hysterical in this movie and i love when she is fighting Sacrimore. Anyone who does not see this movie is truly missing out on a fun and truly entertaining movie. My favorite line of the movie was "Lance, Lance he's our man, if he can't poke him no one can. Go Lance, Go Lance, Go Lance, Go Lance." This was right before Lancelot and Sacrimore are about to have a jousting match. Merlin also keeps you thinking that he is a bad guy but in reality he is partially behind this taking Whoopi back in time. Again, This is an awesome movie.

This is my favourite movie of all time. Featuring on the prime Sunday afternoon Channel 5 slot, I knew it was always going to be a big hit for me and my kids. Taking us back to a fictional time period, Whoopi not only shows her prowess as a great figurehead of cinematic brilliance but also hits us with a message of black struggle so strong I could almost hear her wails from the sister act series of films.My kids found their favourite part to be when our sacred whoopmeister not only finds the neccessaries so shes packing dynamite shortly after arriving on the scene, but also uses this to wow the feeble minds of the surrounding peasants. Bravo Whoopi. The climax which saw merlin appear at Whoops office door asking our herion to join him in a universal campaign to change history was out of this world. The final jovial stroll across the galaxy leading to a dramatic fade was outstanding.I think we should all take a moment to watch this film and enjoy its splendid aroma. Splendid.P.S Not so much?

Dr Vivien Morgan accidentally gets sent back in time to the court of King Arthur. Wearing strange clothes, dropping from the sky and being black, she is naturally mistaken as a witch and taken to be burnt alive. However a timely total eclipse allows Morgan to fool the King into thinking she is a great wizard. Using her knowledge of the future she accomplishes many things and sets out to teach Arthur how to be a better King to his subjects.Yet another spin on the old Twain story however this one MUST be good cause it's a TV movie! With Whoopi Goldberg! Yes, that's right it's an unimaginative bit of fluff. The story is nothing special and nothing new the main changes are the `urban' aspect Whoopi brings to it and the slave aspect that she brings to the story of kings and subjects. This means we have lots of Whoopi teaching high-5's, teaching them all to dance etc. The way she fits in so easily (despite wearing Reeboks) is very lazy and it show little effort has gone into the script. When the end approaches and everyone starts learning valuable lessons about life, you know you've just watched a TVM.Whoopi does her usual stuff, but it's years since she's been at her comedic best (even her 2001 Oscars was tame when compared with Billy Crystal) and she can't save this just by being Afro-American. The rest of the cast just seem bemused. Baeza tries hard and seems sincere but Donohoe is clearly pining back to her LA Law days, while York just have a mocking smile on his face for the whole film in fact just like in Austin Powers, the difference being that was meant to be a spoof.Overall, TV movies generally promise very little and deliver very little this has nothing new to offer and doesn't do anything with the recycled material that it has. Poor for kids only.

This movie caught my eye at my local video store simply because I am a fan of medieval movies no matter what the title is or what it is about. But since I am not a big fan of Whoopie, I figured that I could check this one out anyway. Boy, what a flop it was. The only thing that was good about this film was the costumes!!! This movie stars big named actors/actresses with lame speaking parts. They would have been alot better if they would have kept their mouths quiet. Whoopie with her pathetic one line jokes did not fit in with this century or this movie. I think that for the most part medieval movies should not even be turned into a comedy. Jon Voight as King Author just did not fit in the film as well. And then we see him dressed as a slave. There were many parts in this film that contradicted what the characters were suppose to be. is he a king or a slave? Is Whoopie a witch or a knight? This movie was terrible and there are many other recomeded childrens movies to watch other than this. I give it a 3, simply because of the costumes.
