For a huge fan of anything Arthurian like myself, it looks like it will be a highly entertaining film. While I'm sure there are going to be huge historical inaccuracies, it's definently a first, and an exciting one that, they are moving away from the fantasical aspects of the Arthurian legends and into the shreds of historical truth that we do have. Not that I don't love the fantastical elements of the story, but it will give some people new perspectives who have never come across the 'historical' Arrthur before.
