The Green Knight

Callum Adams is the easy on the eye adventurer at the court of his uncle, the legendary King Arthur. He needs a quest, though. He's restless and wanders the seemingly pretty lawless countryside getting into scrapes as he goes. Then at a banquet, an huge and mysterious knight arrives and dares someone to cut off his head! "Gawain" steps up to the plate only to discover, well you know the myth. It's a story of courage and faith, and had this had a bit more of a budget then it might have delivered a little better. As it is, though, what we really get is a rather meandering collection of loosely connected single-camera cinematography peppered with very little dialogue, some rather wooden acting and a few feebly choreographed combat scenes. It does look quite authentic though, and is rescued to an extent by some intensity from the last ten minutes but it's still quite a long watch for not much action.
