my name is misty... recently watched "Mists of Avalon" (i read the book; 2nd in a series about the Isle of Avalon)... and i was pleased with the adaptation on film... excellent acting... plus, my understanding and appreciation of the King Arthur/Camelot saga was deepened... i would still like to believe that Morgaine was the root of Arthur's fall, although if given opportunity like this TV movie did, one angle is that Arthur himself failed to sustain his strength as a king --it was all about the throne(!)... i would only recommend this movie to Camelot/Avalon buffs like myself because much of the stories are NOT just about a great king and powerful magic... see for yourself... better yet, read the literature, ("Morte D'Arthur", "The Once & Future King", etc.)... and in my opinion, the stronger woman here was Igraine...
