Watched this again last week and it is truly the greatest depiction of the King Arthur/Merlin legend.

Why does everything interesting always happen on the same stretch of woods?

but this isn't Excalibur anon

Totally agree. God-tier casting, fantastic writing and an epic score.

This is definitely up there with the likes of Legend, Labyrinth, and Dark Crystal as the greatest fantasy movies ever.

Always had a soft spot for this, Martin short was great as Frik. And some really iconic lines that still pop in my head every now and again.
Did anyone ever catch the sequel that came out in 2006? I never saw it but I guess it was straight to DVD. It's on iTunes as well but it doesn't look great.

Notas good as Excalibur but very good, >>86221762 echoing this too, Martin Short was awesome, one of his best roles.
RIP Mab

Why would I care? King Arthur is history's biggest cuck.
What did he mean by this?

lol get a clue faget
The King Arthur meme has a lot of issues with it. The hell is the lady of the lake? Why is Arthur sometimes an orphan? Why put the sword in the stone? Did Arthur get the sword from the lady of the lake or the stone? Where did Excalibur come from and what's so cool about it? Why pretend everyone is equal at the round table when one guy is literally king?

You'd probably have a fit reading the bible

Sam Raimi was brought in as a consultant due to his fantasy experience with Hercules, Xena and Army of Darkness. Not many of his ideas made the final cut but this is one of them.

Read the Mabinogion. Arthur is just a mashup of old Welsh mythology hence a lot of nonsense like why there are TWO magical swords.
