Memorable, crazy movie

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

do not waste your time, I wish i had read the reviews before viewing. this is a plain awful film, and unfortunately, not even one of those films that is so bad you can enjoy how awful it is. first, this was not a King Arthur film, it was a film about his sons. second, the story was slow moving which in turn just made the film flat out boring. I didn't find the acting as bad as some reviewers, just that the writing was so poor. to the reviewers who enjoyed this awful film, to each his/her own, but i'm not sure we viewed the same film. I have no problem with "re-imaginings", but this was not a re-imagining, this was more of a continuation of the Excalibur story, post Arthur. it was a good idea, but poorly executed.

PLOT SPOILERS? The film starts off with a decent scene of King Arthur getting killed on the battlefield while a Gandolf (Simon Armstrong) looking guy watches. Excalibur is returned to the lake (looks like scum pond) and then the picture goes down hill. 19 years later Morganna (Nicola Stuart-Hill) is drinking blood to stay young as Arthur's son fights against Arthur's son and Morganna is involved in a crystal light saber battle for her life.The king was Justin Bieber punk and there was no acting allowed on the set. The dialogue was horrible and Merlin has a wolf named "Ja-Kaal." It was worst film with "King Arthur" in the title I have ever watched.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Let's make Britain Great Again.

As the title of my post says, this is a good historical/fantasy movie.It moves at a great pace; sure, it is stylised, but it is also different, and that just adds to its appeal.Go and see it to be entertained, and let it be what it is. It does not deserve the degree of negative comments it is receiving - people: relax, and enjoy a good ride! I enjoyed this film and hope they make more.

May contain spoilers - although I am unsure this movie can actually be spoiled any more than has been accomplished already by the Director and cast.OK, I am going to admit to having made a huge error.I am currently in Asia, and when I saw this movie advertised at the cinema, for some reason I thought this was the King Arthur movie being made by Guy Ritchie - a schoolboy error i know, but in my desperation to see a good movie I did not hesitate to get a ticket and get in to the cinema.I sat through the movie in disbelief that my hero Mr Ritchie could be involved in anything so abysmal and only after an hour did I break the cardinal rule and get my phone out in the cinema and open my IMDb app and check. The utter relief when I realised my error was noticeable to those sat around me when I let out an audible "Thank God for that".The acting is dreadful, the story is dreadful, the continuity and fight scenes are dreadful. The final scene where Arthur - King of the Britons is crowned and looks majestically at the crowd, scanning from left to right as If upon ten thousand people and when the camera pans back he is stood in front of about 12 people (including his old mates from the tavern) all stood on the edge of a pond (supposedly the abode of the lady of the lake).I knew there was something wrong in the first few minutes when we saw Merlin who had had the costume department go to great lengths to make him the shorter double of Gandalf. I guess there are only so many looks for a wizard.If you like sitting through appalling movies then this is one for you, otherwise avoid like the plague and do not make the same mistake as me. Mr Ritchie, I apologise for not realising in the first 30 seconds this was nothing to do with you!
