Excalibur or king Arthur (Jerry Bruckheimer Film)?

I like them both but I think King Arthur would be closer to the truth of the legend if it actually took placed at all.
 
I’ve never seen Excalibur, and I thought King Arthur could have been soooo much better. I hated how they made Christians into such monsters.
 
Having seen both, I would consign them to the pits of hell. Neither does justice to Arthur. Excalibur: opening scene- rape in full plate armor. Not going to happen. No way, no how. Stupid in the most extreme. Nice armor and swords in King Arthur but missed the point entirely. There is a British author by the name of Jack Whyte who has published a series of books about Romano-Celtic Britain who makes the story of Arthur completely believable and in the context of history. There has yet to be a movie which captures Arthur in the spirit of history and in the spirit of Le Morte d’Artur.
