I thought the Arthur as Roman was the only good thing about the film. Thing is, if you're going to go the "historical Arcturus" route, you have to go the whole hog (unless you're TH White, in which case anything goes, because TH White is one of my favorite authors)- which they didn't. You can't half-ass Roman Arthur, because the only way that interpretation works is in a relentlessly historical context.
I may go back and look at my Gawain idea...
