"Mexico" is by far the best of the 3 Desperado films. So there.

King Arthur ..


was way better than i expected. (from the cover art - and having heard nothing about it - i was expecting a teenage romance version)

it had a couple of out of place comic relief moments that were unneccessary but for the most part the film was pretty good.

Clive Owen (i think thats his name) was a pretty compelling lead ...
reminded me of Russell Crowe in Gladiator ..

I liked Mads Mikkelsen. The danish contribution.... Of course. :D

Other than that i only found it fairly entertaining. Somehow i missed something supernatural in the story. Donīt know why?

You sure that's not a bit of an exaggeration?

Don't get me wrong I like Clive Owen and think he's a good actor but you really think he matched up to Crowe?

That's easy! Because all the famous parts of the tale, and basically all the best bits of the tale, ARE supernatural.
Take away the mythology from the story and you don't have much story.

not so much match up -
i just found his performance reminded me of 'gladiator' .. a strong leader of men .. played convincingly ..




i also thought it was funny how everyone looked like a member of a metal band ...

I thought it was better than expected also.....but I find Clive Owen......um, fascinating. So I figured that is why I liked it. :p And I don't mind that they tried something a little different.
