Bruckheimer Does Camelot

How could it miss? Well, Ebert thought it was ok, anyway. Here is an excerpt from his review:

"That the movie works is because of the considerable production qualities and the charisma of the actors, who bring more interest to the characters than they deserve. There is a kind of direct, unadorned conviction to the acting of Clive Owen and the others; raised on Shakespeare, trained for swordfights, with an idea of Arthurian legend in their heads since childhood, they don't seem out of time and place like the cast of "Troy." They get on with it.

"They even keep straight faces in the last shot, as the camera audaciously pulls back to reveal Stonehenge. That gives audience members a choice; they can think (a) 'A-ha! So that explains Stonehenge!' or (b) 'What a cheap shot to use Stonehenge as a location when it has nothing to do with anything,' or (c) 'What's that?' "
