    • Goofs
      Although the time period of Arthur should be the 5th or 6th century, much of the costume, custom, design, weaponry, etc, is from a much later date. The Arthurian legend became widely popular only during the 15th century, when Thomas Malory updated the setting to his own time. Most popular works of Arthurian fiction continue this trend of treating Arthur as a 15th-century king.
    • Quotes

      Mordred: I do not like to think that this great King, this great man, my father, is my enemy. And then for the sake of Avalon I must bring him down to nothing. I would rather love him, as all men do. I would like to look on my mother, Lady Morgaine, I would like to look on her who bore me, as my mother. Not as the priestess or the Goddess. I am so weary of Gods and Goddesses, I am weary of my fate.

    One of the Worst Adaptations Ever
    Fans of Marion Zimmer Bradley's book may wish to carry a barf bag for this one. I realize that time constraints will not allow for the detail that made Bradley's novel so striking. This does not, however, excuse changes that contradict the book. Important details are overlooked, though readers might be able to notice key lines and fill in the background. Overall, this was a very poor adaptation of the book with lackluster characterizations.
