| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumLavish MGM King Arthur tale featuring Robert Taylor and jousting galore. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusConventional but fairly solid adaptation of the King Arthur legend benefits from its colorful pageantry and strongly Christian milieu, including a royal Catholic wedding and a transcendent moment of revelation involving the Holy Grail. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyMGM's first CinemaScope picture has not aged well (too verbose and the acting is stiff), but production values are good and Robert Taylor and Ava Gardner are handsome. |
| Alternate EndingTim BraytonThe stilted, uptight vibe of the film is pretty much just standard operating procedure for movies of this type and this era. |

| User ReviewMichael HKnights Of The Round Table is a brutally underrated film. The mere fact that this film somehow has a 49% approval from the users is a crime because this film is fucking awesome. What's not to love about a film that has such an interesting storyline involving romance, back-stabbing, revenge, friendship, redemption, knights battling each other, awesome fight scenes, and so much more? I enjoyed this film more than most modern adventure films and most other films about knights in general. This film deserves much better response than it has received because it deserves to be acknowledged as a classic. This is by far one of the most underrated films of all time. |
| User ReviewIain WPossable the perfect Medievial film. Many have since tried to better it, but none have come close in my opinion. |
| User ReviewJustin RA classic Arthurian legend movie, epic with spectacular sword fights and battle scenes |
| User Reviewhawk lLavishly appointed, spinning a lucid account of the Arthurian legend with Robert Taylor leading a solid cast as trusted knight Sir Lancelot, the good king played by Mel Ferrer, with Queen Guenevere essayed by Ava Gardner. |
| User ReviewAshley HThis is a fine example of '50's style epics. Big name cast, colorful costumes, flashy swordplay, beautiful damsels and wild inaccuracies. The great Robert Taylor is the honorable Sir Lancelot, a far more noble and pure portrayal than was recorded in all the legends, Ava Gardner is the stunningly beautiful Queen Guinevere, ever dependable Felix Aylmer is the mysterious Merlin, Mel Ferer is somewhat subdued and less than charismatic King Arthur. See it for the spectacle, costumes, word-play filled dialog and over the top Stanley Baker as Sir Modred. Lancelot's joust with Niall MacGinnis is well done. |
