Kaamelott: First Installment

Kaamelott is a fair movie but you have to know the TV series, to appreciate the tone and inside jokes. The story is a continuation from the ending of the series. The film kind loose it's sharpness in the middle, and get it back at the end. So, there are parts that feels a bit ordinary. Not much action, and not spectacular. It's a low budget comedy. The soundtrack is pretty good. I give it 72%. It's not perfect and not always well rhythm in terms of pace, but I think it was a nice return to the lore and comedy of Kaamelott.

After 10 years of absence Kaamelott is back with the perfect sequels. You get to see again all the characters you felt in love with and if they look a bit older they haven't changed one bit. Kaamelott is the sequel fans dreamed of.

How was the Humor ?

The thing is that everyone has a difference sense of humor. I noticed in the theater that people were laughing at different moments , some moments I was not laughing but the people in front of us were crying of laughter and vice-versa. I personally taught it was hilarious. So much that my wife and I are already planing when we will go see it again. If you love the Humor of the original 4 first seasons expect to find similar Humor in there.

The music is amazing and goes wonderfully with the movie, so much that we might buy the soundtrack.

The costumes and locations were perfect , we truly are in the universe of Kaamelott.

The only place where the movie looses a point is towards the end of the movie , it feels like there is a scene missing to an otherwise perfect movie.

Would people who never watched the series understand and enjoy it ?

I would honestly hope so however these characters are already, for the most part, well established in their universe, it's hard to predict how much of the subtilities a newcomer to the serie would understand.

Overall, all I can say is that as a fan , I wasn't disappointed!

The series is amazing. 10 stars. But the film was quite underwhelming.

Arthur is forced to come back and ends up accepting his role. Basically that is the whole film.

The costumes are ridiculous. In the series they were quite of the time or at least as we think of as of the time. In the film they look like something out of Dr Who (fans will know what I mean).

Definitely don't watch if you haven't watched the TV show because you will not understand otherwise.

Great movie good Director the end falls a little flat even though we know there are potential sequels. That being said it's not always easy to go from TV capsules to feature this time it can be regarded as successful.

The movie's good but feels like a succession of sometimes oddly cut episodes of the TV show.

Astier slightly missed the transition to cinema by getting trapped by the profusion of characters and the need to have them all -or almost all of them- appear (to appeal to the fanbase?).

Good experience thought, with some really fun moments and some storylines getting picked back up.
