Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
matthewbnash It seems many people have slated this movie, and I'm not entirely sure why. As long as one keeps the movie within the context of a film for children, I don't see what the problem is.I agree that the script is rather weak - there isn't much for the actors to go on. All in all, I think Whoopi Goldberg and Michael York do a good job in trying to bring as much life in to their parts as they can. Let's face it, if you are looking for a great 'emmy award winning film' then, naturally, you won't like this at all.However, what most people seem to have missed is this very important point - it's a film for CHILDREN. In a world where films/cartoons seem to be incredibly violent, isn't it great to find a movie which encourages us to be open-minded and treat each other as equals - what a great message for children.
tumeric Whoopie is simply irresistible. Cannot get enough of her and feel happy to be in her company. Also a major treat to get to see Michael York--ahhhhh, that Richard Burton regal voice of his. (What on earth is he up to lately?) Amanda Donohoe always looks ravishing--and plays a convincingly somewhat wicked Guineviere.Much of the movie made me unwilling to suspend my disbelief, sadly. The costumes seem anachronistic--or at least a lot of effort was not expended on making costumes and effects believable. That said, however, somehow, the fun won me over. My little girl enjoyed the movie too (I covered her eyes during the jousting scenes, which really weren't that dreadful by Hollywood standards).Not thrilled with the lame ending. With better writing, pacing, and an upgrade in costumes, this would have been as high as a nine.
Lawson Admittedly, I only rented this movie because it was free due to a Blockbuster promotion. However, I generally like Whoopi Goldberg's work so I was hopeful.Whoopi provides her usual spunk in the movie but she's failed by a pretty insipid script that had gaping loopholes - like Clarence didn't actually defeat Sir Sagramour, and a lack of payoffs - the treacherous 'hos Guinnie and Lancelot didn't get theirs, and Whoopi never gets to deck Merlin.I was all prepared to give this movie a 6/10, which is a marginal thumbs up for me, since the movie did give a couple of laughs and Whoopi was fun, but then it ended abruptly when it was supposed to deliver the two payoffs stated above. So I'm giving it a 5/10 instead, a marginal thumbs down.
Chazzzzz This is a very entertaining production of Mark Twain's classic time-travel story, tho this time we have Whoopie Goldberg, who works with computers, zapped back into Camelot with her laptop and boom box! Nice cast, including Michael York as Arthur, Paloma Baeza, Amanda Donohoe, and Ian Richardson as Merlin. Good all around, especially for kids because there's several messages to be learned here. The FX could be better, but this is not a big budget film and they are okay. Good costumes, including Whoopie's suit of armor! Solid 8.
