Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
unbrokenmetal 'Camelot' was not bad, at least I managed to sit through all 10 episodes. However, I wouldn't say it was a series with potential. The cliffhanger ending indicates clearly that a season 2 was planned, but never made. 'Camelot' obviously did not succeed, arguably due to a lack of understanding why 'Game of Thrones' was successful at the same time. The comparison seems inevitable because the outline of both reads similar: a struggle for power after the old king was murdered, bastard children, different religions and magic at work in a barbarian age with new wars breaking out every Wednesday. 'Camelot' even clumsily attempted to add a few sex scenes to be more like HBO productions, I guess. But the recipe for success is not about the sex and violence.'Camelot' has a very simple structure of good king vs his evil sister and their respective allies. Merlin (Joseph Fiennes) is the most interesting character because he has at least a dark side when he steals the sword for his king from a girl's cold dead hands. But Arthur (Jamie Campbell Bower) remains imbecile throughout the series, often doing something stupid to appear reckless, but mostly appearing... well, blond. Guinevere (Tamsin Egerton) is so sweet your teeth hurt. Morgan (Eva Green) and Igraine (Claire Forlani) are played by very good actresses, but they are limited with these characters. 'Game of Thrones' didn't have the dividing line between good and evil characters. A murderer could become a good guy, a dwarf a hero or a good king a fanatic butcher, you never knew which directions they would take, and all characters were capable to do good AND evil things. 'Camelot' holds little surprise though, follows a predictable path and remains a cartoon image without depth. Voted 5/10.
matt213-574-828984 This series could hardly be worse. The only reason I give it more than 1 star is Eva Green. Arthur is simply atrocious on every level. Bower's Arthur is equivocal to a more campy Zack Morris. Coupled with Merlin's excitement for playing Merlin in every scene and writing suitable for an Uwe Boll film, Camelot is difficult to watch without laughing.Camelot cannot decide whether its a spoof comedy, a kids show with nudity, or a drama. Let me be the first to say that it had better chance at a comedy. Although kid's show with nudity, like Camelot, is a new genre all in itself.
stefanrdam I have to give it a ten, just because off all the people claiming that the story line is wrong and the main character does not fit fore this role. This are all personal opinions, and they cannot be the reason for a low appreciation of this show.People must admit that no one on earth can exactly tell how the Arthurian legend must be told. There are many possibility's. But just because of the fact that this show is not matching the expectations of people, and the average way this show was build in the past, it gets a low score, which is absolutely not fair to the creators of it. They made a fantastic version.Be honest people .. This show is excellent .. Be open, and see.
Luis Carvalho The cast for the series is weak, exceptions being Joseph Fiennes and Eva Green, specially Jamie Campbell Bower who simply doesn't fit the role of Arthur. The first episodes were promising (even though Arthur is portrayed like a spoiled brat in the first one) but i soon got bored as there are no real developments and Morgan's machinations seem somewhat idiotic. I stopped watching in the seventh episode when Arthur all of a sudden is left alone in a ridiculous fort to fend off an attack by Morgan's forces. That episode was it for me, couldn't watch it anymore. The writers and directors had to do a better a job. If it's the lack of money that's bringing the show down, then just don't do it. Please don't ruin a good story. The show isn't the worst ever but it's not good either. No surprise about the cancellation.
