A Knight is Sworn to Valour

Warning: Spoilers
This was really well done. Gives you everything it should as a Arthurian fantasy movie. It had its corny moments, but that is what gives these movies their charm. You can easily miss the expertly interwoven story by simply focusing on the action scenes or the dragon magic. There is also a realistic amount of blood and killing. The atmosphere of late Roman Britannia is captured perfectly. You see the greedy senselessness of the Roman legions. You see the spirituality of the Druids. You see the poverty of the Romanized Britons. You see the anger and resentment that lies between the Picts and the Southerners. The storyline is straightforward but it also has good depth and character development. The only issue I had was that, with so many night scenes, they could've been lit more. It was hard on my eyes.
