Excalibur possesses viscerally effective (ie: bloody!) battle scenes, is wonderfully cast, contains brilliant acting, and shows fantastic costume, set design, and musical score. All of the above mesh beautifully to make for a very enjoyable period film. Dialogue felt a little stilted at first, but once you get used to the “ye olde” language and settle into the pace of the film, Excalibur really pays off as a viewing experience.
