Camelot was not as awful as I thought it would be, but still seemed a pointless venture. There have been better versions of the story before and this really added nothing.
The acting was pretty bad, including James Purefoy and Eva Green, who are usually decent even if the film/programme is bad. Joseph Fiennes was expectedly bad as always. His Merlin just seems to make funny faces and is completely uninteresting for a supposedly magical lead character. The sex and swearing just for the sake of sex and swearing is pretty hilarious.
If you take it as a live-action throwaway saturday morning cartoon (with some sex, violence and swearing thrown in) though, it's stupidly enjoyable enough. Unless it improves, of course.
