In “They Don’t Make Them Like They Used To,” Angelo Plume’s paean to the film First Knight, he gives us a blow-by-blow account of the film, lamenting that such films don’t get made anymore. Sad but true for the West. After reading the review, I had my Saturday night pizza, popped open a beer (Sam Adams), and dug into my archives to watch King Arthur, the 2004 film about the once and future king; decidedly different than First Knight, but it has its own flavor and goes very good with popcorn . . . and mead.

I love this film. Thanks for reviewing it.
To fully understand the story I recommend to read the book Arthur, the Dragon King: The Barbaric Roots of Britain’s Greatest Legend by Howard Reid.

Thanks for the additional information about this mythical/historic subject. After reading my excellent review and seeing the enjoyable film, it would be very good if people read Howard Reid’s book. Movies can be a good stepping stone.
The Russian translation of the book was popular in the Caucasus, because many of our Caucasian peoples see in Sarmatians, just like also in Saqas/Scythians and Ases, our far ancestors.
Now I want to see this. Thank you for the great review!
