This movie was an unfortunate waste of time, money and talent. It has all the ingredients for great entertainment. A clear hero, beautiful princess, chivalry, castles etc.. The props and costumes department obviously put a lot of effort in the movie and it looks great.
Unfortunately this movie is hobbled by a brain-dead script. The story-line is non-sensical. The dialogue is really bad and the acting shows it. There are lines that just cannot be delivered with a straight face and some of the dialogue and plot-twists are just corny.
Watching this movie was an agonizing experience, not to be repeated.
*** spoilers start here **** Why did the writers have to combine Excalibur with Nordic elements, add Chinese fireworks and a middle-eastern harem? It just doesn't make sense. If the writers had stayed true to the real Prince Valliant stories in the comics, they would have created a much better story line without having to mutilate a variety of the popular legends out there.
