1/5 Mystery Science Theater Material
  by Mr. Eddie (New York, NY)
Robert Ulrich is one of the worst actors ever to drag his feet across a movie screen. Absolutely zero charisma. That's the first problem. The directing is profoundly uninspired, devoid of creativity, and workmanlike to the extreme. Third, the screenplay is just a connect-the-dots affair with painfully obvious set-ups and motivations.

To top it off you have a performance of such stunning awfulness by Sterling Hayden it could damage your ability to ever take him seriously again -- which is a shame because he's in some good films! This must have been a painful experience for James Mason, who barely manages to bring the film to life when he shows up. I am a sucker for all things 1950s and CinemaScope but this has to be one of the worst of the decade. Should be bundled in on of those 20-DVD sets where each film is a buck.

4/5 Don Diego DV

The movie brought back memories of my youth. It has been more than 40 years since I first seen the movie. Everything came back easily. The movie is widescreen and the color was excellent. Highly recommend it.

5/5 Excellent and fun movie for families! Our kids love it! :)
  by M. Kerrigan (Colorado, USA)
We have really enjoyed watching this together as a family - there's something for everyone from princesses to a prince to even the bad guy in King Arthur's Court. It is what it is - a fun family movie that capture children's imaginations and we parents don't have to worry about foul language. Sure wish the "new" hollywood would make fun, clean movies keeping wholesome family viewing in mind! That is the reason we love this movie - kid's don't need the sleekness and side, mature jokes that come out in current movies - this movie is fun and great to watch - highly recommend it! =-)

5 Stars!!! for family viewing!!!

4/5 Favorite Movie but bad DVD transfer
  by Douglas Herring (Redmond, WA)
A huge fan of both Hal Foster's original strip and of this movie despite all it's changes to the mythos of Prince Valiant, I can only add one comment at this time: The DVD transfer once again seems to be from a lackluster print, as I noticed with John Ford's "The Quiet Man". I love these big colorful cinemascope pictures and I can only hope that as we move into the HD world, new prints will be struck from the negative and we can get a good transfer of such favorites as "Prince Valiant" and "The Quiet Man".
