I was wondering what everyone thought of Keira's portrayal of Queen Guinevere?I personally thought she was brilliant-as was the unknown warrior version of Queen Guinevere!
Ok, while I enjoyed her character I don't think she was an accurate portrayal of any of the original Guinevere stories I've ever heard. I mean, if te look at the two original stories of King Arthur, 'History Regum Britanniare' o 'Le Morte d'Arthur' she is in no way described as the way she is in this movie. I think Hollywood loves to take a character and just run with it (and ruin it!) so....

I wasnt saying that her portrayl was in any way accurate to what the orginal Guinevere stories describe her to be...I was asking this in a movie-based manner--and yah Hollywood wouldnt be themselves without twisting and altering the story..historicle o fiction.....but I dont exactly agree with the "ruining"..I think of the movie più as an interpretation than actual fact-and I personally Amore watching the genius of Antone Fuqua unfold--even though its not an acurate portrayal of the story...I find extremely compelling:)
Yeah I did enjoy the movie, but it kinda annoyed me that they tried to make it a 'King Arthur' movie. I mean, it had little to do with the original stories o newer versions (interpretations, whatever), I think they should have just made it a stand-alone movie. I think that's what got to me about it. If it was made as a historical fiction/fantasy movie in it's own right rather than trying to be coined as an Arthurian legend, I probably would have enjoyed it much more.
Yah...lol....thats perfectly understandable:D I think that I would have liked the movie just as much-if not more-had it been of its own right...but stand-alone movie o not, I still find "King Arthur" intriguing as ever:)...although the story-line is not at all acurate at times.
Hahaha! I haven't watched this movie yet, but I imagine it'd be very good. I know the Guinevere from Excalibur had the personality of a sad wet paper bag XD poor Guinevere...I only watch Excalibur because of Nigel Terry...*accidentally drools* Whoops...
