The cast looks impressive: Ben Kingsley, Aishwarya Rai, Colin Firth...and it does tell the beginning of the Arthurian legend (is it just me, or does it seem weird that that legend begins in Rome??). But is this just another Roman Empire falling/ few fight the many/ one small boy is the key movie? Kind of looks like it. Will I still see it? Probably.

As the Roman Empire crumbles, young Romulus Augustus (Thomas Songster) flees the city and embarks on a perilous voyage to Britain to track down a legion of supporters. The film tells the story of how Excalibur got stuck in that rock.

Here's what some people are saying based on the trailer:

For the record - Excalibur wasn't the sword in the stone!! ;)

Excalibur was retrieved from "the lake" (as in the lady of the lake) after Arthur broke the sword from the stone in battle. :p

Ben Kingsley is not the best at picking good movie roles. Niether is Colin Firth now that think about it. Thus prooving my point that this movie is gonna blow.
