He's the single most over-the-top villain that I have ever seen, his random twitching, his comedic yelling, it's all just so hilarious.

Why have countless pointless comic relief characters when you have THIS guy?

Anyone else agree?

Although to give credit where credit is due, his knight outfit was pretty cool, as well as the fact that he could create a mechanical army and graft excalibur on his arm, not to mention he punched a dragon in the face and ate its meat, I mean...holy *beep* that's badass.

A shame his death was a huge deus-ex-machina.

I nevver thought you could be more over the top than having a villain admit to evil...how about admitting to madness and everything already mentioned as well?
By the way, there're 2 actors for him listed on this page; was one his uncredited singing voice, or did Gary Oldman sing for him too?

Hm, yeah it does look like two people are credited for his voice. Though I'm pretty certain it was just Gary Oldman in the English dub as I noticed no difference in his speaking and singing voice whereas with Kayley and Garrett it was too obvious that they had different actors just to sing their parts.

My guess is that the other guy was just used for a dub of the film, though I could be wrong.
