Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Deusvolt I liked the panoramic artwork which is very like the painstakingly done quarter of a quarter broadsheet spread frames of the syndicated Sunday comics supplements of the '50s. The special effect used to make those artworks seem to melt into reality is awesome. This is rarely, if ever, done now because of economies of print production and advertising. That, by the way is one of the reasons, the cartoonist responsible for the hugely popular Calvin and Hobbes, quit making the offbeat funny series. The Valiant here is a very competent knight unlike the one portrayed by Robert Wagner in the 1954 film who was nothing short of a bumbling fool who managed to have accidents just when he seemed to be getting the upper hand (e.g. losing his hold on a cliff as he was espying the traitorous transactions of the Black Knight with Norse marauders). Only the superb acting of James Mason as the villainous Black Knight made that older version interesting. The fight scenes in this Prince Valiant were well executed. Kudos to the arms master for the handsome suits of armor and weapons. The actress who portrayed Princess Ilene is stunning.

Oric13 This is one of those movies getting trashed by people without any good reason (just like Showgirls and Last Action Hero, which I both consider to be very entertaining movies). I've watched it a second time last night and was pleasantly surprised at how good it (still) is.The acting is pretty good. There are no major plot holes. The number one "bad guy" wasn't just some 1 dimensional asshole, but actually a well fleshed-out character, who was actually smarter (strategically) than the good guys.Also, he effects weren't bad at all for a movie with this kind of budget. And, another good reason for watching this, I got a good look at Katherine Heigl's bare ass. :)I wasn't bored for a single moment while watching Prince Valliant, and really what more could I ask for?All in all, a very enjoyable movie, and I highly recommend watching it.

liderc I really enjoyed watching this well-done movie. It is not too brutal, witty and has the right dose of humor. Besides it has a very good cast of well-known actors like Katherine Heigl ("Roswell") the great Joanna Lumley ("Absolutely Fabulous"), who is really wonderful in her role (as usual), and Thomas Kretschmann, who is, as usual, very good and very sexy. It is very well done by director Anthony Hickox, who made such movies as the classic "Theatre of Blood" starring Vincent Price, and his directing really shines through. The animated sequences are very well done and give the movie a really nice flair. The only bad performance that I could spot was the real short appearance by the rather silly (but famous) supermodel Markus Schenkenberg. But that couldn't mar this otherwise really good movie, its only flaw is that it is somehow too fast paced sometimes, otherwise I can only recommend it.

bradwilliams I have no clue why this wasn't released wider and in theatres. I saw it as a fluke on cable t.v. and then looked everywhere to rent it so I could see it again, but no Joy whatsoever. I was forced to rent it on direct t.v. to see it again. The scenery was phenominal, and the action was intense. One of the strongest points in the movie was the bad guy Udo Kier, he was a very threatening individual. The sword play and sorcerey was some of the best I have seen and it is a true testiment to the lack of credit hollywood gives fantasy movies. It wasn't released in a major fashion, and I believe they missed out on a bigger bankroll movie than they could have expected. I wish it were rereleased in theatres, because I would love to see it on the big screen.
