La la la SPOILERS

Went with [livejournal.com profile] queenmaab and her friend Tracy to see King Arthur. So.. it wasn't like, really, really good, but I liked it.

+ Tristan. We likes Tristan. Also, better with a bow than the Elf. You know the one I mean. Why'd they kill Tristan?!
+ Arthur. I have a Clive fixation, so yeah.. no badness here.
+ Lancelot. Meh. He was cool, but I didn't really care that much. Is that wrong?
+ In the trailer, Guinevere says, "Don't worry, I won't let them touch you." Uhm.. in the film she says, "Don't worry I won't let them rape you." ... omg.best.line.ever. Because Lancelot is all smug and Guin is all, pfft, WHATEVER.
+ Lancelot leaving his village when he was a boy and all those people shouting and he's just sitting there on his horse? I feel like when he turns around to look at them, he should be rolling his eyes.
+ Uhm. What was Merlin's purpose? I mean, he seemed to have one.. but then he didn't.
+ What the hell is a Sarmatian? And where is Sarmatia?
+ Woads. I'm guessing that's derogatory and that Woads don't actually call themselves Woads. That's just what the others call them because they paint themselves with woad. So.. are the Woads actually the Brits? *headscratch* Edit: Saff has reminded me that they're Picts.
+ Uhm. Isn't Galahad Lancelot's son? Which, I guess, since Lancelot dies in this movie, it's not really important anyway.

The editing was a bit odd. Bruckheimer needs to let the directors edit because, really man, everything you touch isn't gold. You just trick people into thinking it is.

I should have more coherent thoughts, but I don't. It was good though - definitely can't wait for the DVD. Or the supposed R-rated extended cut that Bruckheimer promised Fuqua because Disney raped the film wanted to release a nice summer family film.

The Woads are actually supposed to be the Picts. And Galahad is Lancelot's son in most stories, but since this is a new version, it doesn't really matter how it is in most stories.

Sarmatian's are an old Slavic race. :-D

Their country was somewhere between modern Poland and Russia.
