Yep, liked King Arthur. It may be cast as a Gladiator wanna be, but did very well with themes of country and freedom. I enjoyed it a lot. Very different from Excalibur.

I really enjoyed Excalibur. Although I realize that it's look and style hasn't aged well, I think it did a nice serious and reasonable take on the Arthur legend.

I saw Jerry Bruckheimer's name on King Arthur and decided to pass and wait until video as projects he's associated with have a tendency to be too "Hollywood"ish for my tastes. I'll definitely rent it, especially after hearing some positive comments. However, seeing Arthur in that Roman-esque outfit in the preview is kind of off-putting to my five dollars.

I still need to see the previous Bourne flick. It has been a decent year for movies, I think. Next on my must-see list is "The Village".

Yep. The Village is on my list as well. I think M. Knight Shamalan is a genius.

As for Excalibur, did they dub the voice of King Arthur? His voice never sat right with me.

Yes, the previous Borne's worth a rent. the sequel looks like much of the same thing. Mostly non-stop action and a little intrigue. That's ok if they deliver that.

Again, if it gets slow, I would encourage you to see Arthur on the big screen. It is not nearly as predictable as you would think via the previews. That's part of what made it refreshing.

Village...maybe. I will wait for the hype to subside. Please let me know if it is cool. ;>
