Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

'Camelot' was not bad, at least I managed to sit through all 10 episodes. However, I wouldn't say it was a series with potential. The cliffhanger ending indicates clearly that a season 2 was planned, but never made. 'Camelot' obviously did not succeed, arguably due to a lack of understanding why 'Game of Thrones' was successful at the same time. The comparison seems inevitable because the outline of both reads similar: a struggle for power after the old king was murdered, bastard children, different religions and magic at work in a barbarian age with new wars breaking out every Wednesday. 'Camelot' even clumsily attempted to add a few sex scenes to be more like HBO productions, I guess. But the recipe for success is not about the sex and violence.'Camelot' has a very simple structure of good king vs his evil sister and their respective allies. Merlin (Joseph Fiennes) is the most interesting character because he has at least a dark side when he steals the sword for his king from a girl's cold dead hands. But Arthur (Jamie Campbell Bower) remains imbecile throughout the series, often doing something stupid to appear reckless, but mostly appearing... well, blond. Guinevere (Tamsin Egerton) is so sweet your teeth hurt. Morgan (Eva Green) and Igraine (Claire Forlani) are played by very good actresses, but they are limited with these characters. 'Game of Thrones' didn't have the dividing line between good and evil characters. A murderer could become a good guy, a dwarf a hero or a good king a fanatic butcher, you never knew which directions they would take, and all characters were capable to do good AND evil things. 'Camelot' holds little surprise though, follows a predictable path and remains a cartoon image without depth. Voted 5/10.

***Save Camelot!!!*** *The* best show of Arthurian times I have ever seen and I'm not just saying that 'cuz Jamie Campbell Bower is awesome :) He's the reason I heard about the show from a Twilight list I'm on and was very interested to see it, at first mainly because of Jamie however I *adored* the show for its own sake. Gutsy, powerful and realistic. I felt for the characters and their plights.Morgan was so much more than 2D as she has been portrayed in other Arthurian tales and that awful nun who made my skin crawl - (played so well by the way) portrayed wonderfully (albeit sadly) the church's sickening corruption and power-play of the dark ages.Camelot was also feisty, funny, witty, modern, yet conveying an ancient, well-known tale. It was upbeat, cool, full-bodied (and not just for the sex scenes ;) The actors were all brilliant. I also adored Eva Green's 'wounded child' Morgan. The play between Leontes, Guenevere and Arthur was painful to watch (because it was played so well) though you knew it could only end in disaster. And Joseph Fiennes played the one of the coolest, gutsiest and realistic Merlins I have ever seen. I knew Jamie would be awesome and he was, playing the most heartfelt, gutsy, realistic and funny Arthur ever. Not to mention cutest ;) And I am looking very much forward to seeing him in other roles as well. Including a hopeful 2nd (and beyond) series of Camelot. His portrayal of Arthur proves how diverse he is, Arthur's loyal and caring, while his Twilight character Caius is caustic, stoic and hateful and Jamie plays him awesomely too. I wonder is Caius had a sword in the 5th century? ;) I guess the only thing that bummed me about the series was when Guenevere stood up for herself and said "I would rather die with a sword in my hand than waiting to be raped" and in the battle scene, she's attacked and screaming and has to be rescued, rather than being much more heroic like Éowyn from Lord of the Rings.It upset me to hear of the series cancellation, seems the 'muggles' don't know what's good for them. I hope the series will get a reprise and not go the very sad way of the "Golden Compass" sequels, of which I am still having onto a shred of hope for. I guess I am so passionate about Camelot as I feel drawn to Arthurian times, I feel they are part of me. One of my prized possessions is a solid 4 ft Excalibur replica.Perhaps that will convince the studio to continue with this amazing series? ;) ****For Camelot!!!****

The cast for the series is weak, exceptions being Joseph Fiennes and Eva Green, specially Jamie Campbell Bower who simply doesn't fit the role of Arthur. The first episodes were promising (even though Arthur is portrayed like a spoiled brat in the first one) but i soon got bored as there are no real developments and Morgan's machinations seem somewhat idiotic. I stopped watching in the seventh episode when Arthur all of a sudden is left alone in a ridiculous fort to fend off an attack by Morgan's forces. That episode was it for me, couldn't watch it anymore. The writers and directors had to do a better a job. If it's the lack of money that's bringing the show down, then just don't do it. Please don't ruin a good story. The show isn't the worst ever but it's not good either. No surprise about the cancellation.

I got into this series and was so upset to hear there won't be any more. I never fell for Jamie Campbell Bower but was totally in love with Eva Green and Joseph Fiennes. The story meandered through the season, especially in the middle, but ended so well. GoT is great but only for 10 weeks a year. I need more for my bad-ass fantasy getaway fix!There's got to be a way to get the stars back together (maybe minus Arthur?) to delve deeper into the mythology. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think things were just about to start getting interesting with the inevitable introduction of Morded. Sigh.
