Prince Valiant Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Ian Taylor Just to correct a previous post - this is NOT directed by the man responsible for the Vincent Price classic Theatre of Blood - that was Douglas Hickox. This guy is Anthony Hickox. Having said that - he's got some B-Movie pedigree, his first six films all being in the fantasy genre, including the two excellent Waxworks comedy horrors and input into the Warlock and Hellraiser series. This is reasonably enjoyable sword and sorcery fare and is marked by Hickox' usual ability to involve names that you want to see back in the limelight. Edward Fox as King Arthur. Joanna Lumley as Morgan Le Fay. Brilliant! As a Brit, I know these actors well from the films and television of my youth. In using these guys, Hickox plays the same trick as Tarantino in using Robert Forster, Pam Grier or David Carradine. Also, any film using Udo Kier as a villain is alright in my book.
liderc I really enjoyed watching this well-done movie. It is not too brutal, witty and has the right dose of humor. Besides it has a very good cast of well-known actors like Katherine Heigl ("Roswell") the great Joanna Lumley ("Absolutely Fabulous"), who is really wonderful in her role (as usual), and Thomas Kretschmann, who is, as usual, very good and very sexy. It is very well done by director Anthony Hickox, who made such movies as the classic "Theatre of Blood" starring Vincent Price, and his directing really shines through. The animated sequences are very well done and give the movie a really nice flair. The only bad performance that I could spot was the real short appearance by the rather silly (but famous) supermodel Markus Schenkenberg. But that couldn't mar this otherwise really good movie, its only flaw is that it is somehow too fast paced sometimes, otherwise I can only recommend it.
Schillo Hal Foster told us his own version of the King Arthur Saga with the 'Prince Valiant' Comic Strips. 'Prince Valiant' was Foster's invention and he created more than 1700 pages of adventure, romance, treachery, sinister villains, cunning heros ... you name it. One could make a great movie by putting any 50 pages of it to celluloid. Alas, in this movie they did not even try to do this. They just ripped off some characters name, gave them complete new personalities, messed up a simple story and build it around some special effects (which are indeed quite nice, but not enough to justify the entrance fee). If you like fast food movies, you might enjoy it, if you like the comic strips, you'll hate it. I recommend Prince Valiant (1954) which is not a perfect movie, but far more authentic compared to the original source. Which is what one should expect when viewing a movie named 'Prince Valiant'.
swakcalmm Romance is not dead yet. In Prince Valiant romance and adventure is very much alive. I highly recommend this to everyone in the mood for comedy, adventure, romance, and fantasy. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.
