Eine finstere Intrige bedroht das Reich von König Arthus: Die Wikinger Sligon und Thagnar (Udo Kier, Thomas Kretschmann) reißen sich das Schwert Excalibur unter den Nagel, um mit dessen Macht unbesiegbar zu werden. Der tapfere Knappe Eisenherz (Stephen Moyer) bricht gemeinsam mit dem Gauner (Ron Perlman) und Gnom Prechet (Warwick Davis) nach Thule auf, um die magische Waffe zurückzuerobern. Und damit auch das Herz von Arthus' hübscher Tochter Ilene (Katherine Heigl). (Sky Cinema)

To compare Prince Valiant with an A-grade production like Excalibur (which Anthony Hickox, among other influences, distantly drew inspiration from and sought to at least partially emulate in terms of reception) would be like choosing between a Boo! and a one-star rating. However, while objectively better films may leave you disappointed because of high expectations, there are also films that are so delightfully silly and amateurish that they become charming and entertaining. The acting of most involved is so wooden that I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. It vaguely reminds me of the work of Ed Wood. Overall impression: 35%.

Valiant. That’s more like a name for a cartoon pigeon who worked with the postal service in the Second World War, or if you switch round the letters, it could be the brand of heating furnace with the green rabbit. Things like prince, Camelot and Excalibur didn’t occur to me at all. Well, it was quite fun, so one star for that and the other for Ron Perlman.
