Mists of Avalon

Pros: On television. I didn't have to leave my home to see this great movie.

Cons: Well, it is 4 hours long, but well worth it.

The Bottom Line: I say see it. The cast is great. The story is great. I loved it. It tells the "true" story of Camelot through the eyes of women.

Review: I must say. I loved this movie, mini-series rather. It is the story of King Arthur, his half-sister Morgaine, Camelot and the Isle of Avalon. Here is a list of the cast:

Julianna Margulies - Morgaine
Anjelica Houston - Viviane,...

Pros: Accurately shows the different world views of the time; wonderful actors/actresses

Cons: The ending gets a little sketchy; deviation from the book

The Bottom Line: This movie is an intellectual challenge to everyone out there to question what they believe in, and to scrutinize others beliefs before dismissing them off-hand.

Review: Disclaimer: To start out with this epinion, I must first state that I am a pagan. I am not, however, going to bash Christians in this review. They have every right to what they believe in. This review is about Mists of Avalon, and the statement that I...

Pros: Compleatly different perspective from other versions of the Arthur legend..

Cons: Strict christians/catholics may find the paganism offending

The Bottom Line: This is a great adaptation with intriguing alternatives for the course of events surrounding the legend of Arthur.Beautifly filmed and romantic...

Review: I found this movie to be a refreshing version of the Legend of King Aurthur told from the perspective of the women involved. Much more subtle than battle and rage oriented versions of the past, This retelling is from the point-of-view of Arthurs half...

Pros: Very well done and a outstanding cast

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Even though the movie is slightly different than the novel, it still remains true to the novel that bears it's name

Review: The Mists of Avalon was based on the novel written by Marion Zimmer Bradley, which tells the story of King Arthur from the female point of view and is narrated by Morgaine Arthur’s sister played by Juliana Margulies. The story takes of from the moments...

Pros: Great cast as a whole, nice costuming

Cons: Individually, not as good as previous portrayals.

The Bottom Line: Must I smite this bottom line yet again?

Review: The Mists of Avalon is set in the times of King Arthur and Camelot. Based on the book of the ...

Pros: An admirable adaptation of a wonderful book; good casting, costumes, sets, scenery

Cons: would have to be much longer to do the book justice; cuts too much

The Bottom Line: If you liked the book, or enjoy Arthurian legend, this is well worth watching.

Review: Having read (and loved) the book, I was disappointed when I missed the airing of the TNT made-for-television adaptation of Marion Zimmer-Bradley’s The Mists of Avalon. I never thought of trying to rent it from my local library until last ...

Pros: Beautiful costumes and scenes, portraying medieval times excellently.

Cons: A little more intimacy and realism needed in the acting.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this movie to fans of the book, fans of Arthurian legend or to those interested in Paganism; just don't forget to read the book as well!

Review: 'The Mists of Avalon' is, in its most basic form, a retelling of the Arthurian legend from the women's perspective. The main factors which separate it from other King Arthur movies are the portrayals of conflict between the Pagans and the Christians, and...

Pros: Gorgeous scenery and costumes, good acting

Cons: Incest, not for little kids

Review: I enjoyed every minute of the Mists of Avalon. The cast was excellent, the costuming beautiful, and the story of King Arthur told from the point of view of Morgan la Fey is a different and, I think, more interesting interpretation than the standard one. ...

Pros: Plot is Intriguing, Acting Is Good, Directing is Competent.

Cons: Characters!!! Most of the effects.

The Bottom Line: An overall unremarkable film telling the Arthurian tale. At least it didn't have Sean Connery and Richard Gere.

Review: This is another review where I haven't read the novel the film is based on and I wouldn't care if I had; I'm evaluating what I watched. This is a review on "The Mists of Avalon," the film. I watched it tonight on DVD. On that front, let me first...

Pros: I liked the acting

Cons: It doesn't really follow the book

The Bottom Line: I like this movie mainly because of the book, but I would enjoy the movie anyways if I hadn't read the book.

Review: Overall, I would have to say the movie's okay. It wasn't great probably since I read the book before watching the movie. I think they left out so many important things in the movie that it was pretty screwed up. Not that the movie is ALL bad, I did...
