I watched this piece of dreck last night. Here's a rundown:
Atrocious story line/screenplay.
Horrible dialogue.
Horrendous acting.
Pathetic special effects and props.
Lousy musical score.
Awful makeup and wardrobe.
Ludicrously bad directing.
Terrible casting.
The plot is basically a prequel to the King Arthur story. A young roman boy who is to become the next emperor, along with his teacher, is kidnapped by Goths, subsequently rescued by his guards, and carted off to England for safety. They run into the last Roman legion, and have a big battle with a bunch of semi-retarded baddies led by a silly looking dude with a gold mask. They win! Yay!
In the last 5 minutes of the movie, you find out the young Roman boy is the father of King Arthur, and his teacher is Merlin. Yeah right.
You never find out the significance of the silly guy with the gold mask, even though Merlin has flashbacks about him throughout the movie. Most of the Romans don't look remotely Italian. In fact, one of them is a big black guy. All of the dialogue is spoken in a rushed mumbling way, like a school kid doing a speech in front of his class. The castles all look like they're made of styrofoam. Merlin's beard is so obviously glued on, and in one scene looks purple. The fight scenes are laughably bad.
Despite having some very respected, well know actors such as Ben Kingsley, the movie is overall an atrocious waste of time and money.
The ONLY good thing about the movie is Indian actress Aishwarya Rai, who is sexy as all fuck.

And Johnny Depp was a better singer than I thought he would be. Worth seeing if even if you dont like musicals IMO.
What's the point in seeing it now?
