The scores is not good reflection of how it truly is and only the people who have never heard about the story of Arthur would be lost. Which almost everyone has so it was nice to see a movie that didn’t waste so much time on the tales which we already know. Richie is a great director and going from his usually style of films to this was more enjoyable that expected. Those who gave a poor review just lack imagination and decided the score before watching it because the film I saw was not below average. We have all seen average and that would be another typical movie where characters behave like we expect. This was something new and fresh from a well known story that has be depicted over and over.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, I must say I went in there with high expectations as you do when you want to see a new movie from a director that you know has never failed you and I was not dissapointed at all.

Great epic movie about one of the biggest myths ever that mixes serious scenes with fun elements that are typical for Guy Ritchie and ALL of it is filled with an awesome soundtrack music, especially that scene when Arthur (Charlie Hunman) is bitten by a magical snake a rides a horse back to Camelot, and I couldn't help myself but to enjoy it from start to end and for that I thank you, Guy.

Ritchie's distinctive style has been turned up to eleven, with the script and editing reflecting his love of the British working class vernacular and super fast cuts that are only occasionally disorienting. The cinematography and creature design provide some exceptional moments, and the esoteric soundtrack gives this film a unique quality. The storyline covers a great deal, though with little depth, and the performances are solid, with plenty of excuses for Hunnam to take his shirt off. An entertaining, if not a cerebral, experience. 7.01/10 Expand

If there are
Seriously, again? Again, Guy Ritchie makes an awesome movie with potential for sequels and an outstanding kick-ass soundtrack from Daniel Pemberton, and again it fails to get good critic reviews and solid box office performance?

If there are two most unfair box office performance patterns these days, those are Disney's frame-by-frame "live-action" (i.e. CGI) worthless remakes of their classic cartoons getting billions of dollars and Guy Ritchie's two last movies (this and the equally amazing U.N.C.L.E.) severely underperforming financially. Let's see the outcome when those two trends collide with Ritchie making an Aladdin movie.

In the meantime, don't listen to the so-called "critics" and watch The Legend of the Sword. It's a great, hugely entertaining action movie with solid performances from the main (Hunnam, Law) and the side characters alike. The pacing is impeccable, with the action not letting you go throughout the film. It's got some great, Ritchie trademark humor and dynamic editing, too. The CGI can look cheap, and that's probably my only complaint aside from a few minor ones. Oh, and did I mention the kick-ass soundtrack? I did, but again, it's so good I stayed through the credits just to listen to it, and immediately got myself the album after watching the movie.

Warner Bros., please, take some of that comic book money and let Ritchie make Arthur 2 or U.N.C.L.E. 2, the world will be a better place.

I was pulled in and entertained for the length of it. Granted, if you are looking for the 'romantic' version of Camelot, this is not it. But it was contemporary, visual as hell, and well acted. The details were impeccable. There were some off moments with editing/direction decisions and they pulled me out of the story a few times. So it's not a perfect movie but I'd spend my money to see it again and I don't say that often. Compared to the horror that was the 'Great Wall', this is practically movie nirvana. Jude Law was the perfect casting choice and he seems to be so under-rated. He's been a revelation lately (see The Young Pope). And Charlie Hunnam? Well, yeah. Sexy as hell and coming up the ranks in his acting ability since Sons of Anarchy. I hope the move forward with their plans to make this a series because I definitely want to see more. Expand

The CGI gets a little over-done [like in The Matrix Series] in 2 or 3 action scenes, but it's not enough to change the fact that this is a FUN movie that I'm glad I watched. If your in the mood for some care-free action bliss with AMAZING visuals, this is the movie for you! P.S.

Secondly, the movie's graphics, man... mind blowing! The fight scenes were EPIC! You'd almost feel like you're in a video game, at some point, the graphics is THAT awesome. What I loved about the plot is that nothing about the movie is dilly or dally, it's quick and to the point. The Bad: The movie was kinda overwhelming. IT was intense, it was quick, it didn't build up the excitement. It was like, BOOM and then CRAAAAASH! This might have frazzled the nerves of quite a few, I can say.
The Ugly: NONE. There's nothing ugly about this movie, not to me at least. Thoroughly enjoyed this movie, was a great watch and would take a top sit (Right beside 300) on my list of EPIC As F*** MOVIES.

There is no logic in actions of all characters. The plot is worse than in Prometheus. The main baddie is just dumber than a sack of potatoes. No "Guy Ritchie style" at all.

This is my kind of action movie: fast paced and action packed, the scenes are very well shot and sometimes even beautiful. The pace rarely slows down.

The critics giving this movie a bad score seem to be confused. Make no mistake this is an action movie and it delivers as an action movie. The story is not going to be amazing and the movie has it fair share of flaws: from the main actor trying a little too hard to be convincing with his British accent to some wtf scenes. Also, some scenes could have been way more developed.

Overall the movie is highly entertaining and captivating, you are pulled into the world of Camelot and I can't wait for the sequel. Highly recommend 9/10

The problem with the film was that the mythical power was way too great, which led to one 'good' and one 'evil' super super power big boss one on one showdown, and that was cliche and lame. There was no need for it; If this mythical power had been toned down significantly, and they were more like men, it would have been a more reasonable story, and the characters/acting would have made the film quite great. If mages are so powerful, why are they not ruling the kingdom?

It's not legendary, is it madcap? Yes, of course

Curious question: Is it possible to determine the full amount in which the legend of Arthur of Brittany has been portrayed in any audiovisual media?

Epic-medieval-knightly adventures have known how to ration their elixir of immortality, since a decade and half a century later, the London tales located in the full expanse from the 10th century to the 15th century, erroneously, they simulate possessing the essential vigor for creating a saga ala "Avengers in the medieval London", owned by Warner Bros., in the middle of the Millennium era, of course, hitting the nail on the head with the chosen filmmaker for modernizing the Celtic story. He sins due to his creativity by basing on the sharp literary sword with too much freedom, falling into his deep-rooted directional record, arousing a swirl of varied mixes that offer a new King Arthur face.

A young cherubic Arthur, a famous character in the European literature, is forced to witness the extermination of not only his realm but his own nuclear family, adding with irony, a stab in the back by his uncle Vortigern (Jude Law). Brought up among bosoms of lust, dearth and Love, Charlie Hunnam grows between rustic London alleys with knocks and shocks, for according to the leonine legend and the extravagant narrative thread written by ten hands, redefine his philosophy of life and accept what destiny holds: to become the ideal monarch in both war and peace. And yeah! despite big freedom, Excalibur is to be present.

The story has been one of the most influential and prominent legends in the film world, interpretations that fall into the hands and minds of dissimilar filmmakers who have infused it, for better or worse, their distinctive signature using the annals of the character, which is rumored, it's fictitious. Guy Ritchie, a British director of features as ingrained as iterative who was trend years ago with his second motion picture "Snatch", getting to win over Warner Bros. Company in order to hold him responsible for a big-size revamp with a budget of USD 175 million. That Ritchie who made it on her own to the early twentieth century with his fast-paced, and comic—even hyper—style, which required the spectator enough attention not to be lost in the whirlwind of stop-and-go stories both via flashbacks and flash-forwards, suffocates the opportunity with an unusual medley of genres and ideas, though their risky elections are welcomed, don't end up to set completely, such as the "Ritchinian" opening attributed to the childhood of the main role where it isn't perceived fluency, doesn't generate interest and visibly shows an embarrassing appearance, revealing the fatigue of the director to keep his touch with every work, something that doesn't impact the same way anymore. In addition to the above, new innovations ranging from top angles increasing and focusing the visual field as if it was a video game or even the application of a street and urban accent to an epic chase through London passages, a cinema breaking traditionalism but never becomes truly suggestive.

Visually speaking, "King Arthur" raises interesting re-inventions, in which are the required elements so that it doesn't feel foreign to the base story altogether. It's clear that visual effects make us dizzy and, in certain periods, spoil the image in its entirety, however, only a few are the found true flaws in the shots of colossal elephants ruining empires, a kingdom as vast as dreary, enchanted waters by a god and his penitents, among others. In a nutshell, the film receives a dark and pessimistic tone, a technique that would have worked in the first half of the feature film, where the protagonist is immersed in confusion and searching for himself.

With the help of some marketing posters and certain advertising videos, can be detected who deals with the weight of the story: Hunnam and Law. The first one looks pretty good with sloppy clothes and blonde hair of Arturo, his acting is credible and the style he endows the character is enjoyable, even despite the stereotyped outline of his role. As for Law, his performances are always excellent, and although this one is not enough, perhaps because of the lack of understanding about the magnitude of the role, he executes suitably perverse insanity, treachery, and greed of a king chosen by mistake.

Projecting the viewer a film hybrid that only finds its point of glory in selected visuals that can be categorized as visionaries and sequences of struggle and annihilation executed with flair, of course, embellishing them with a delightful soundtrack at the hands of Daniel Pemberton; Charlie Hunnam and Guy Ritchie achieve being a different summer movie, on their own merit, alas, leaving on the way, more and more quickly, the considerable expectations they had. A feature film ending up just like mythological "Sword in the Stone", embedded in its rough mold.

The director, in an attempt to make this movie appeal to younger audiences, has the movie edited like a music video. This means that the dialogue is said really quickly and the camera rapidly cuts back and forth between shots. The pacing is also really choppy. Core parts of the story that should be 20 minutes long are only 5 minutes long, thus parts of the story are really rushed. Likewise, other parts of the story could’ve been shortened. Another issue with the movie is that there are many fantasy elements in the story, like creatures and people with wizardly powers. For example, Arthur’s aided by a sorceress while on his journey to claim the throne. These elements are either never explained or explained in a split second. This goes back to the super fast dialogue. You see stuff like giant snakes and elephants and you just have to go with the flow. When watching, it’s better not to question certain things that happen on-screen.

To be fair, there are many good aspects of King Arthur. The basic plot is easy to understand and there are no subplots or love interests to speak of. The massive budget is put to good use as all the special and visual effects are fantastic. Things like the lighting and setting were well done and all the battles were spectacular. The majority of the film is very entertaining and the actors do fine work. There’s just enough character development, so you feel what these characters are going through. In the end, the trailers describes this movie in a nutshell. It’s weirdly paced, the dialogue is super fast, and certain areas of the story are rushed. However, it’s nonetheless very entertaining and epic in terms of the visuals. I rate this a 50%. I would not recommend seeing this, but if it’s a rainy day and you have nothing else to do, watching this wouldn’t be a bad idea. As long as you go with the flow and not question some of the fantasy moments, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, is simple fun.

This is an After Effects demo reel, not a movie. Or perhaps more apt, a video game. A crappy, third-party Lord of the Rings ripoff developed by a British frat house.

On se croirait donc quasiment dans notre Kamelott (!) mélangé -comme dit plus haut- à de la tarantinade avariée et recyclée, pleine ici d’anachronismes et de dialogues aberrants, complètement déphasés par rapport au sujet initial et c’est peu de le dire !

On se croirait donc dans un film de loubards typique, londonien et prétentieux comme les daubes déjà torchées par Guy Ritchie, ce réalisateur à chier qui n’en manque pas une : il ne manque jamais une occasion de faire encore et toujours de la merde ! autant dire qu’on se lasse, qu’on s’énerve très vite devant ce salmigondis foutraque de sale film pourri, car last but not least, le rôle de cet Arthur débilos échoit au roi des quiches (et des cons) Charlie Hunnham ! la coupe est pleine, n’en jetez plus !

Amazing, epic, funny and unique. These are all the things that make the movie work. Don't listen to the critics and watch it for yourself. I don't think it's for everyone but if you love fantasy you will find this to be a wild and exciting ride.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A real disgrace for history, fantasy and for the Arthurian legend!
Lets begin with the pros, the film has a very nice special effects and sword-playing choreography and this is all.Lets continue with the contras, the so-called 'heroes' are hillarius Richard Hunman is a real disaster in all the way to the end I wanted to kill him off I know that this won't gonna happen but Jude Law was the actual hero and the only character with backstory and motivations oh come on Arthur was a lil crying baby all way long and the lore OMG the lore was a complete joke i know i know this is a Fantasy movie but this...this disgraced the Fantasy on its own. Lets finish something positive, they cancelled the sequel.

I’m a huge fan of Arthurian tales and I usually don’t like drastic changes but this movie was entertaining and Guy Richie’s unique style worked for the most part.

La trama está bien y las escenas de acción son entretenidas; es una buena película para pasar un rato de entretenimiento y nada más.

Cool movie.. I thought some of the blonde haired supposed to be king role could of been a lil bit toned down and a lil bit more mature. Just a little

The stage of King Arthur's popularity has already passed, and all the films are based on the stories of knights and Merlin, who created all this in the past. Guy Richie, stick to your style - this is my advice to you.
