Connery did raise it from a fair movie to a great one. That was back when 
you could count on him to do that to a movie. It may have been his last
good 
role. (Was Gawain And The Green Knight before or after?)
I saw it when it first came out, so I was prepared to hate the series, and

was very pleasantly surprised when it was so good.
But I'm big on swordfights and long flashbacks and the whole concept of
the 
thing.
And Widen wandering around the British Museum, several tokes over the
line, 
looking at the armor displays and thinking. "Gee, what would it be like if

these guys were still around?"
