"21.1. This film reminded me what I love about John Boorman: it doesn't matter how silly of campy his subject matters are, they always feel larger than life and downright awe-inspiring."

"Pros: A dark, gritty, medieval movie. Great performances by Nigel Terry, Nicol Williamson, Helen Mirren, and Patrick Stewart. Earlier performances by Gabriel Byrne, Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren, and CiarĂĄn Hinds. The cinematography. Epic classic music, and Trevor Jones. The gritty, violent battle scenes. It effectively use the King Arthur Legend. The attention, to detail. Cons: Itâs epically lengthy, and at times pretentious. Some of the actions in the film, can describe as questi"

"  In an age where we now have film series like Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter, Excalibur may seem, by today's cinema standards, as incredibly small (not to mention, kinda mashed) potatoes. But still, for a kid like me, who was craving for any film with a fantasy flare, despite the time-period's lack of CGI technology, Excalibur tried it's best to approach the belief-suspending subject matter with an epic sense of integrity. I'm not sure it holds as well as other works of the early to mid "

"10.4 Iso-Britannia/Boorman John Boorman on kyllä outo jätkä. Kuningas Artturin kalistelut ja rypemiset mudassa käydään läpi alkuperäismytologialle (käsittääkseni) hämmentävän uskollisesti sekä Boormanille ominaisten camp-ornamenttien koristamana."
