CGiii Comment
Sing a song from Camelot...difficult isn't it?
At nearly 3 hours long, Camelot is a savage, over-produced monstrosity of a film.
Guenevere's hair keeps changing colour.
King Arthur is an bit of an idiot.
Lancelot can't act...and, his accent changes whenever he sings - courtesy of being dubbed by a ridiculously incongruous voice.
Mordred is a leather-clad pansy..
There is so much wrong with this that it's difficult to end...but, end we must...
Logan's direction is shambolic...in a similar way it was for his other musicals.
Sing a song from Camelot...no, that's exactly the reason why the calls for this to be re-made should remain ignored.

The story of the marriage of England's King Arthur to Guinevere is played out amid the pagentry of Camelot. The plot of illegitimate Modred to gain the throne and Guinevere's growing attachment to Sir Lancelot, whom she at first abhors, threaten to topple Arthur and destroy his "round table" of knights who would use their might for right.
