Yeah, Bruckheimer's done some great movies (Some of which I absolutely love), but he's not exactly all that well known for maintaining historical accuracy. And that's supposed to be one of the main selling points of this movie?  Besides, if I want to see Arthur, I want to see the LEGEND of Arthur. I don't want to see a version sans magic, or Camelot, the quest for the Holy Grail, Morgan le Fay, Mordred, etc. I've been a huge fan of the Arthurian Legend since I was a little kid, and if they're gonna make a movie about Arthur, then it should be about the mythological Arthur, not the historical one which people know next to nothing about (Which includes historians. I have yet to read a history of the real King Arthur which was detailed in any way, and which most historians could agree on).  Whatever the case, <a href="http://www.countingdown.com/movies/749401" target="_blank">THIS</a> is what I'm looking forward to. The Once and Future King on the big screen.  Not much to know about it at this point. Hope it takes off. Of course, with the success of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, you gotta know that someone will want to push this through and try to milk off the success of those movies.</blockquote>
