It’s an 80’s fantasy movie. And it stars Nigel Terry

Because your testosterone is low.

OP confirmed faggot. Excalibur is incredible.

I love the movie, but man is dumb, and Nigel Terry can't act.

the acting sucks. no nuance at all. everyone is in ACTIIIING mode.

Its like Game of thrones on fast forward on rollerskates.

KILL YOURSELF
This movie is fucking awesome.

Not every movie needs method actors, sometimes camp makes fucking sense for the setting. Which is literally a fucking play L'Morte D'Arthur. Every actor is a PLAY actor you uncultured fucking faggot. K I L L Y O U R S E L F

>sometimes camp makes fucking sense for the setting.
god damn you have the worst fucking taste. camp is awful in something that is played completely straight like a story as epic as Excalibur. Lawrence of Arabia tells an even more epic story than faggot King Arthur and the acting in that is actually good. go figure. fucking loser.

But according to britfags, British thespians are the crème de la crème of acting.

It's a movie about the Knights of the Round Table. In a play-style. In a world where wizards can turn you into your rivals and you fuck their GFs. It wasn't based on true events like Lawrence of Arabia you stupid retard. If you made the movie it would be a boring grey slog, but thankfully it was colorful and eventful. Kill your fucking self you trash.

>Lawrence of Arabia tells an even more epic story than faggot King Arthur
yikes, American detected

DURRRRR LET'S HAVE ALL THE ACTORS SHOUT LIKE RETARDS BECAUSE THE STORY IS RETARDED.

The story is retarded. Fantasy is gay. Go pick the cheese out of your dick.

>hurr this arthurian play is returded hurr
This is you dude. Seriously, you're a fucking retard and probably not even white.

it's not a play you dumb fuck faggot it's a movie with bad acting. the fact that you have to keep telling me "IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE CAMP YOU FAGGOT WAH WAH WAH" means you know on some level I am right. And I am white. My blue eyes and blonde hair and 6'2 frame tell me so.

It's a movie based on a play you stupid retard holy shit stop typing.
>I'm white
If you can't appreciate your own culture then you are a lost cause, kill yourself.

>it's a PLAY therefore the bad acting is EXCUSED
wrong. bad acting is never excused. bad acting sucks. that play probably sucks too. maybe there's a good movie about Excalibur out there but this is not it.

I don't like this movie either. The attempts at humour make me cringe more than anything else.

The acting was fine. What now you dumb faggot? Movie too manly for you? Does it need some crying faggot to make you feel anything?

you posted a scene with almost NO DIALOGUE. what the hell is that supposed to tell me? that you know on some level deep down that the acting is indeed terrible and drags down an otherwise well-shot, beautifully costumed and choreographed movie. I except your absolutely destructed ass as a trophy.

You dumb faggot, there is dialog all throughout that video. This is either poor bait, or you are really as nigger-brained as I think you are.

Find me a better scene, or a better example of a leader somewhere.

there is a brief dialogue exchange in the last 30 seconds of the movie. really poor ADR work too by the way but that's another issue entirely. you can try again. maybe you won't post an action scene this time!

I laugh everytime i see the camera reflect off his helmet.

took me literally ten seconds to think of this scene from a far superior movie youtube.com/watch?v=sv9XNFpRdhg

That's how people talked back then

I'm not retarded enough to do the whole cherrypick song and dance with a baiting faggot like you. If you can't see Excalibur for the movie it is you have shit taste or are literally not white, end of rine. I expect a bait-y response from you.

the excalibur is all visuals, nothing else. no wonder it's zack snyder's favourite movie.

Well I'm glad you told me what you plan to do for the rest of the night. Hope it's fun.

I almost fell asleep.

because, in a twist, you are the actual adhd ridden zoomer. don't hurt your neck looking up from the pile of shit that is your life.

>not liking the use of Wagner for the score

Fucking GOOD

I don't want a realistic fantasy movie all the time. This is a sick ass movie about people being really extra and dramatic and treating every issue like a child. Some cunt ended a war only to destroy everything for some pussy and also everyone is wearing crazy huge shoulder armor and look like mad Max with world of Warcraft.

It's camp, it's epic, and I'll take it seriously because it feels like an ancient legend reenacted with as much feverish passion that could possibly fit.

Camp is good, if you dislike camp then you made tyour parents made the wrong choice and should have made you a Valentine's blowjob

gayest lowest IQ post imaginable. you like fantasy movies because you are a child, and using words like "extra" like a teenage girl coupled with your image of a drawing of a car tell me all I need to know about you, and the fanbase of this movie: Manchildren who think they are not manchildren.

I bet you'd remake this movie with everyone wearing black leather and nobody shaves and everyone broods and cries.

you liking this gay movie makes me wish your entire family was drowned in an ocean.

Don't' even respond to this tasteless pajeet user.

I would like to take every copy of this movie and erase it from existence and never make anything about the faggot King Arthur ever again.

It's comfy, you should try it.

Patton. More intelligent and interesting and exciting and better shot, acted, and just all-around more impressive as a whole. Better story, more powerful message. Everything about it is superior to Excallbur. Everything.

Why are you comparing a mythical reenactment fantasy set in swords and sorcery era to a military doc. You got brain damage m8. Might as well compare Shawshank Redemption to avatar

why are you still falling for such a shitty baits, you fucking idiot

>Patton
>a military doc
Exposed yourself as a giant pleb right there. The grace and storytelling ethos of Patton far outweighs the limp paint-by-numbers approach to dramatic zeniths that is Excalibur. Admit you haven't watched Patton and fuck off, in that order.

I liked the acting in Excalibur. Its different and a bit otherworldly. Which seems fitting for a fantasy tale like this.

A-user, my dongles would be exposed to the element.

Sorry can't hear you over how based excalibur is.

I don't suck cock so I don't watch military docs written and directed by jews.

no you just watch bad movies.

Why do you like to suck penis user?

you have me confused with someone who liked Excalibur

go back to your marvel movies, soipucci

you also have me confused with someone who likes excalibur

It’s a British film, made in the 1980s, starring mostly Shakespearean trained stage actors, who are acting in a Sword and Sorcerer flick.
Under these circumstances, this is and more particularly what you would be likely to get under the above.
Boorman, the director, had to cut the film dowm from 3 hours to 140 minutes, and this isn’t taking account of the fact that the movie is based on ‘Le Morte d'Arthur’ by Thomas Malory, which is densley packed and more than an inch thick.
The fancy gold armour Mordred wears in the film was likely actually based on Roman gladiatorial or parade armour that might have been worn during King Arthur’s lifetime.
Visually, it is one of the best Arthur films ever made.

>Lawrence of Arabia tells an even more epic story than faggot King Arthur and the acting in that is actually good. go figure. fucking loser.
T.E. Lawrence was a British Spook.
The book he wrote, ‘Seven Pillars of Wisdom’, is supposedly an autobiographical account of his involvement in the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turks between 1916-1918.
However, since Lawrence was a Spook, his story can’t be thoroughly verified, although some sections can.
It may have been written as propaganda or misdirection.
Lawrence, after his activities in the Middle East, tried changing his name twice, once to John Hume Ross, so he could join the RAF, and then to T.E.Shaw, so he could join the British Royal Tanks Corp.
Then he supposedly died in 1935 in a motorcycle accident under the Shaw alias.
There’s even speculation he might not have actually died, but that he was too well known, so his “death” was arranged so he could properly shed his former Spook identity.

That's because all you do is shovel shit on Yea Forums.

FYI, all the armour for the film was custom made, but made of aluminium, not steel.

John Boorman was going to do a Lord of the Rings film. Would have been interesting to see.

The story is literally a guy getting forced into destiny and getting cucked by a welsh thot and his french best friend. It just includes magic swords and fair fewer knights than it should.

Someone did a better one sadly

It's cringe, but it's a good cringe. Very cool that you wrote the music yourself.

I loved the visuals in this movie, it's like you are seeing a live action comic book, wish more movies made that. The dialogue was a bit weird though, sometimes it felt like it was trying to be a kids movie.

i love this film but can anyone redpill me on the whole holy grail situation? i reckon they spent 10 years searching for it, no? did morgana use magic to make mordered older? why did arthur kill himself?

Liam Neeson and Helen Mirren look so unrecognizable in this film because they are so young.

>People are shitting on Excalibur now

Is there any other movie that came as close to Excalibur in its take on the Arthurian Legend?
