3.5 stars.

Do you like epic poems like The Iliad and the Odyssey? Well, this is the 14th century version featuring Arthur and the knights of the round table.

I know that the rating should be higher. It's a classic tale with a good adventure. I liked it. Simple as that.

All there for the sweet intro with green headless knight. Really lost me in the middle when we were hanging out in the hall and talking to people's wives and catching rabbits. I'm judging this as if it was written in 2021 because.
