I was one of about eight people in my showing (college town in the summer) and could barely hear the dialogue anyway because it was so... mumbly. An excellent argument in favor of CC or subtitles being the default for movie theaters. If you're talking about the end, he didn't get his poo poo back for real, that was just him imagining leaving and living the rest of his life knowing he walked away. Getting the axe back from the ghost was Just Magic. the witch probably does the same stuff as his mom and could make the same type of sash, either that or it's Just Magic. Frankly I was wondering if there was supposed to be anything behind the rich witch and the girlfriend being played by the same actress. Blindfolded lady I think was intended as a callback to the blindfolded mom/witches at the beginning. She was standing there after he got the sash, right?

Ghislaine of YOSPOS posted:she, being Arthur's sister, is Morgan lefay who is very naughty in most depictions. That really should have been mentioned (the character isn't even named in the credits); the last Arthurian anything I watched was the Mists of Avalon tv adaptation from like 20 years ago and I was struggling to remember if she was supposed to be someone. On that note, was the beardy guy with the face tattoos supposed to be Merlin?! edit: Overall I liked it, but I think my principal issue with it was it assumed you already knew a lot about the King Arthur mythos. I found myself wishing on multiple occasions that I'd read it beforehand because there always seemed to be something I was missing.

DeadFatDuckFat posted:What did y'all think about the end vision where apparently Winifred is not dead and becomes his queen? I didn't really get the point of that. Or am I crazy/blind and that was actually a completely different actress... I had to check IMDB to confirm because I had the same thought, but they are different actresses.

I definitely thought the lady he marries at the end was played by the same actress as Winifred.
