I sat through just over an hour of this film until I just had to turn it off. I don't know, but it kept occurring to me that this film was what you get when you put Monty Python and Braveheart into a blender and give the slurry to a hack director with second rate special effects. Everything about this film was awful. The impossibly bland, wooden and hopelessly second rate acting of Christopher Lambert. The utterly wasted talents of Sean Connery. The unimpressive sword fighting (why is it that every time they have a sword fight they manage to hit something that emits loud hissing gases?) The special effects that (others here have commented) as being so great, I am sorry they are not; they are cheesy, third rate and laughable. The soundtrack by Queen is the worst music they made.
There are lots of very fine movies made out of legends but this one lacks a solid script, good actors, direction that has a direction, a soundtrack that has left the 1980's behind, etc. I better stop now because I can't believe I actually put myself through an hour of wasted time. Beware: there be stinks yonder that yea best avoid.
