Long have I wanted to watch this film and finally, the chance came upon me. As if the discs were forged by the Gods of extras and the new master was conjured by magic, this new limited edition contains everything I could have ever hoped for (and then some). I was aware of this classic for decades but neither the VHS, DVD or recent blu-ray editions were enough to truly entice me. Along came Arrow who offered a plethora of supplemental features allowing to go deep into the production as well as talking about the impact this film had on cinema. But where this edition shines the most is its presentation. A wonderfully crafted 4k master that look like a billion bucks. The grain is preserved and every texture (from rock to mold to water and armor) is a grand spectacle. As I only recently discovered Arrow (in 2025) and their penchant for creating such satisfactory limited editions, they have quickly risen among my favorite labels. It is with great anticipation I await their monthly announcements! Not only am I now a fan of Excalibur, Arrow has gained my respect and attention.

Arrow has done justice to this seminal masterpiece. This is how movies should be release, top notch picture quality that reflects the director's intention and packed with features plus an alternate cut for completists. The film itself is a marvel to be enjoyed, a distinctive visual expression and a soundtrack that powerfully matches it.

The whole package is absolutely brilliant! The Box, the paperback, the collectors cards and the tons of previously unreleased bonus material as well. Picture quality is absolutely amazing (if you think the movie is from 1981!) and sound is also perfect! And all of this for an affordable price! Brilliant! Thank you Arrowfilms for this release!

This is my first LE in a hard box from Arrow and it blew me away, the matte box is so perfect and the huge rich booklet with essays really has premium feel to it! What to say about the movie, just the fact that the entire huge arthurian legend is in one movie and it works is an epic feat! Love this!

A perfect 4K transfer, beautiful packaging, a bonus alternate cut and great extras - Highly recommended!
