Critic Reviews of "Excalibur"
TIME MagazineNovember 06, 2013Give Boorman credit for the loopy grandeur of his imagery and imaginings, for the sweet smell of excess, for his heroic gamble that a movie can dare to trip over its pretensions -- and still fly.
Chicago ReaderNovember 06, 2013There is humor here (in the form of a vaudeville Merlin, played by Nicol Williamson) as well as a diminution of scale that seems intended to help audiences through the thornier byways of Boorman's vision.
VarietyOctober 08, 2008Exquisite, a near-perfect blend of action, romance, fantasy and philosophy, finely acted and beautifully filmed by director John Boorman and cinematographer Alex Thomson.
New York TimesAugust 30, 2004Mr. Boorman takes these myths very seriously, but he has used them with a pretentiousness that obscures his vision.
Sky MoviesNovember 06, 2013The result is almost always the handsomest of films to behold. Storywise it has its moments, too, although it never quite achieves the difficult blend of grandeur and madness for which it strives.
TV GuideNovember 06, 2013Excessive but occasionally inspired, Excalibur gives us grimy lumbering knights, gloomy castles, slithering dragons, mesmerizing magic, and (of course) the struggle between good and evil.
People MagazineNovember 06, 2013Despite moments of high style and wit, [Excalibur] too often substitutes mayhem for magic.
Radio TimesNovember 06, 2013The search for the Holy Grail and the final battle are simply stunning sequences, and, while the dizzying pace leaves scant time for proper characterisation, Nicol Williamson, Nigel Terry and Helen Mirren make their mark.
Three Movie BuffsApril 28, 2013Remains the definitive big screen telling of the Arthurian legend.
