Truly Dreadful Film

Some things I liked some I did not.

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This film is an interesting take on the legend of King Arthur, but it just feels generic after a while. Also, I don't think this history is any more "authentic" than any other version of the story, contrary to what they claim.

ABSOLUTELY epic. Incedable sword fights, Colossal battles, mammoth Cinematography, with intriguing dialog. Costumes draw you in by caching your eye. What is said matters. Character's depth and evolution touches your heart. Some slow parts great film without the "It" factor. A picture that other films will be measured by! One of my much watch picks.

Actually I just reviewed the Magnificent 7 (2016) and realised this was the same director and he's still making the same mistakes. (in my opinion). Cartoon characters, weak plot and farcical logic.King Arthur I really liked the look of but rapidly as I watched felt more and more irritated. Film makers often treat history as some sort of plaything to abuse and the audience as too stupid to realise. Yet all to often the real story is so much more thrilling than the Hollywood 'spin' (Watch the Revenant - then research the real story)Perhaps we are just too stupid. Whats worrying is so many people think Hollywood's farce is historical fact. This film looks good, but it's a veneer, underneath its just chipboard and papermache. Clive Owen is wooden and most of the characters are unbelievable and cardboard. What a shame, take a bit of trouble to get it 'right' and fact is often so much stranger (and better) than directors fantasy fiction history. 4/10 pants

Due to the average IMDb rating and Metascore, I sit down with low expectations to watch Antoine Fuqua's 2004 movie, King Arthur. If you can do, watch the director's cut, because it is much better than the theatrical cut, such as in Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven. There are a lot of advantages and maybe just one, but a huge mistake of this movie. The cast is excellent. Although I personally don't like Clive Owen, but he was really good in this film, such as the supporting actors, like Keira Knightley, Ioan Groffud, Joel Edgerton, Ray Stevenson and the Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen. The music is amazing. Hans Zimmer is definitely the best composer of nowadays. The visual effects are also great. Antoine Fuqua has a quite unique directing style, but it's really matches with the story and visual style of this film. The only huge mistake of King Arthur is it's story. There are huge plot holes, which makes the characters and the battles unentertaining and useless. If the story would be just acceptable, than this film would be nearly as good as great historical movies of the 21st century, such as Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven or Wolfgang Petersen's Troy. The Director's Cut is definitely worth a watch, but sit down with low expectations, and don't except a Christopher Nolan movie-type story.7/10
