Recap: It is a beautiful morning in the forest. The sun shines through the canopy. A naked couple wakes up. He prays by his sword and then slowly dons his armor while his lady dresses. Then both of them get on his motorcycle and rides to town. They're the king and queen of a travelling fair that recreates medieval joust using bikes instead of horses. Life at court might be less luxurious than it was in Camelot though.
Comments: The first scene is spectacular. Unfortunately it is the only good part of the movie. What seems like a very good and interesting idea, knights in modern world, is completely wasted. I expected action, chivalry, love and a few laughs as cultures collide. I saw none of this. The movie is full of jousting, true, but shown in such a way that it becomes dull and repetitive. After 15 minutes I actually felt that the movie had started to repeat itself and should consider moving towards an end. But no, by then it was over two hours(!) left, consisting of mostly pointless and dull scenes. There really are no real story, no progression in characters or plot, it is a extremely long portrait. So, don't be fooled by the cover, it is no action or adventure here.
2/10
