I really love the TV series but was a bit disappointed by the film adaptation. It seems that the Kaamelott universe is less relevant with big means and that the theatrical aspect of the episodes (mainly fixed shot sketches in minimalist settings) contributed a lot to the humor that made it such a success. It doesn't suck, but it's just not on the same level as the TV series. I had the same impression with the last season, which tells the story of Arthur's youth in Rome, which was less convincing, even though it had a much bigger budget. While I've watched the series dozens of times, I've only seen the film twice, and I don't think I'll be seeing it again any time soon. That doesn't detract from my confidence in Alexandre Astier to make the second part, taking into account the criticisms voiced, and finally give us the adaptation everyone's been waiting for.
