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)

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.

To measure Prince Valiant's directorial production in terms of quality, such as Excalibur (which Hickox was remotely inspired by and wanted to partially replicate), would mean choosing between garbage and a one-star rating. However, while objectively speaking, there are much better films that may disappoint you due to high expectations, there are also films that are so ridiculous and non-artistic that they become cute and entertaining. The acting of most involved is so clumsy that it had me grinning from ear to ear. It vaguely reminds me of Edward Wood's productions. Overall impression: 35%.
