I think I own First Knight.
Err. For someone's bit part, so hush.
Gary OLDMAN is James Gordon? How did I miss that? They should switch him with Caine.
They've managed to make him look perfect for it, and at 46, he's about the right age for the part.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
And there's NOT a new Highlander movie in 2005. Nope, nuh-uh.

Worse than First Knight?
Okay, I'll admit to not seeing that.
I was bored, and I'd rather it be spectacularily bad than be bored.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They've managed to make him look perfect for it, and at 46, he's about the right age for the part.
But he's so slight. Like Alfred.

Well, if Methos is there, so am I.

Was anyone else hoping that The Village twist would involve fae? Would probably be considered as silly by the "average" audience, but my hope for a nice unseely court on film is undimmed.

Would they be Native American trickster spirits, or something the Irish brought over during the Potato Famine?

it was the least of the Arthur movies.
Worse than First Knight?
As others have said, nothing is as a bad as that when it comes to Arthurian movies.
I think Sue hit in on the head. The movie was mostly boring, and it was dreary. I hope that if it doesn't do well at the box office, it won't discourage any attempts at making a decent Arthurian movie sometime.
