A good story, but with mind-numbingly preposterous anachronisms. In the opening scene, I thought it was going to turn out to be a comedy when the audience to a joust was shown singing "we will rock you". Later, the same effect at a banquet with people dancing to David Bowie's "Golden Years". Plus, a herald introducing the Hero like something out of the WWF.
At times enchanting, at times so painfully bad I almost walked out (and several others in the theater did).
This movie doesn't know what it is supposed to be. It's not whimsical enough to be a fantasy, not funny enough to be a comedy, and not realistic enough to be taken seriously, but not *quite* bad enough that I didn't somehow enjoy it.
It's like a peanut-butter and cheese sandwich.
