nice

loved it.delightful effects.loved this story as a kid and this is better than the movie

A truly original retelling of the Arthurian legend

I listened to this audiobook almost non stop.
The theme is about King Arthur, but the story is unique.
Outstanding performances and production.
Highly recommended!!

Enjoyable Listen

If you’re looking for an authentic retelling of the Arthur saga, this audio tale is not for you. But I really loved the actors, and the story, while brief, was a nice yarn. I recommend it.

Legend in IRL

A character reworking of the classic fable spun into more of a realistic possibility. Found it enjoyable. But it’s not for the Arthur purist.

Terrible Message

These performances are incredible, but the message is so disappointing: it’s a woke deconstruction (i.e., tearing down) of Arthurian legend. It asks, “what if Arthur were really just some punk who stole the credit for everyone else’s achievements?” The writers want you to believe that Gawain was the real “Arthur” and that Arthur Pendragon was churlish, impudent, disdainful, imprudent, supercilious, ignorant, arrogant, impotent, and WEAK — 110% NOT the Arthur we know from Britain’s founding mythos. These writers and producers want you to believe that there is no magic in the world, nothing more than materialism, that all of our symbols are empty, just so much smoke and mirrors. And yet at the same time they want you to know that despite our symbols’ emptiness, the elite will always be able to wield them against you — the plebs, the unwashed masses — to dupe you into accepting their rule. It’s just gross.
