A lot like Game of Thrones Except with



Criminaly poor casting,
a Poor script,
a Poor budget
a Poor grasp of realism (GoT might have demons and dragons but it just felt like it was based a realistic universe)


This isnt me trolling (look at my post history I dont that)

Im just really REALLY disapointed.

If you want some medievil fantasy with a bite that grips you from the start...

Head to westeros coz as Seth McFarlane would say,

'This is Awful...just Awful'!

I agree with you, but just FYI Camelot had a bigger budget than Game of Thrones. Not that you can tell...

OMG, just finished GOT, and sadly I would have to say ( because I did like Camelot ) That it is miles better. It made Camelot look like a mediocre afterschool special, sorry Jamie, I still love you though.

Game Of Thrones is vastly superior, yes. But Camelot is still very good. Just because it doesn't look exactly like Game Of Thrones doesn't mean it had a poor budget. I thought the sets and costumes were well done, the script wasn't bad at all (minor a few plot holes here and there), and the casting was very well done (yes, Arthur could have gotten a much better actor, but I feel towards the end Bower got the hang of Arthur and was really starting to "man up and become king"). Joseph Fiennes was perhaps my favorite actor on the show. He brought such depth and sadness to Merlin (see the "Lady Of The Lake" episode). He did such good acting with him. I thought he at least deserved an Emmy nom for supporting role, but we all know Dinklage will win it for Tyrion (who I think deserves it).
