Just watched this last night. Fantastic stuff.
I am a big fan of the TV series, and in many ways the movie requires that of the audience. It is really hard to say how the movie will be viewed by someone that hasn't seen the series. I think it would just about hang together, but the brief cameos by some of the popular characters might seem a little odd and out of place.
They got the blend just right. A bit of Royston Vasey for the fans. A bit of the real world storyline. And then some completely new characters to keep it interesting. Great stuff. I did like the fact that they took 3 unexpected choices of characters as the main ones.
There was a lot of scope for this film to be a bit lame, but they did really well. One big area that kept the interest for the audience was the weaving in of the medieval storyline.
What did everyone else think of it ?
Overall 8.5/10
