Miserable failure

[rebeccajt · 2/10 · 4 October 2006]

Judging from the storyline, this TV movie premise sounded great. A German professor, stumbles upon a mystical / valuable / mysterious artifact, and is the one who knows this item will lead to famed Excalibur sword. What happens next is a mindless chase through Scottish highlands (beautifully photographed) Mindless because, the chase from the police didn't make any sense. Worse: There is no chemistry between Desire Nosbush and Ulrich Muehe. They are supposed to fall in love – nobody in their sane mind believes them. Absoulty terrible is the monastery sequence, note not the hero (Muehe) finds about the whereabouts, but no: a BLIND monk, (carrying a candle in the dark…(?)) tells our hero the entire story and where to find the damn sword. This did the rest to the flimsy storyline. Its sad for the try and they must have had a good budget, … another funny thing is the fact that in German TV Productions everyone aboard speaks German. And when the writers didn't know what to do with the blonde girl, they made her fall asleep. Zero Points for the writing, Muehe is a great actor, who can't save this TV Flick from drowning and Miss Nosbush is a total miscast.

Shocking

Judging from the locations that this film was shot in and the plot (average though it was passable) this film should and indeed could have been pretty decent. After watching it it would appear to be a pretty feeble effort. The Director quite obviously had no idea in what direction to take this script so it would appear he just bumbled along from one poor scene to another. My collie dog could have produced a better effort and to be frank the locations could have been better prepared also. It would appear very little thought or preparation went into this and perhaps the Germans should stick to making the type of movie there are synonymous for throughout the world.

Just the worst film ever

This film must have cost a few quid to make but it is so badly directed that you wonder what was going on. I think if I was an exec on this I would be asking some serious questions.

I would love to know how much preparation was done on this, it seems to me that the director turned up on the day and just shot any old rubbish.

I dearly hope this man never gets another job Directing, He should be locked up for this rubbish.

In short don't waste your time on this its not worth it.

Total rubbish
