The first film in the trilogy, released in 2021, divided the public and received harsh reviews from original fans. The project received a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 75% from audiences, 6.1/10 on IMDb and Senscritique. This first chapter focused on the development of the relationships between the protagonists and the search for the Grail.

I tell myself that Kaamelott is made for the big screen. – Alexandre Astier, at the premiere.
The television series, which celebrates its twentieth anniversary next year, has always occupied an important place in French pop culture. The film adaptation of “Kaamelott” is based on a series of 458 episodes and six seasons. The show on M6 ended in 2009 after recounting the royal life of Arthur and the Table, the depression and the king's decline in favor of Lancelot's rise to power. Films are therefore a good way to continue to bring the characters to life by portraying them in comic epics.
