Likely to be the worst sequel I have ever endured - and definitely worse than even such gems as Robocop 3.
Like others who have posted about this, I am a sucker for anything Arthurian, medieval or historical, and thus was interested to see what this could offer given the prestige established by the original miniseries to which this purported to be a sequel. I was sadly mistaken: the director - if it had one, and from the filming and acting of most of the scenes, one would probably assume that it did not - did a poor job with, admittedly, a dreadful script.
The plot is absurd, killing off a hugely important character very early in the film while, incredibly, failing to take advantage of an unmistakable dramatic opportunity in the pathos this could generate. Subsequently the story simply falls apart, with ludicrous 'revelations' being fed to the audience as plot devices and a deus ex machina ending that gives one the feeling that the writer had gotten to a point where he realised he was up to his eyeballs in excrement and just decided to pack it in and move on.
DO NOT WATCH, SLEEP IS BETTER.
