Yes it's time to find how Arthur became King of the Britains:
So it's the new film from..
Sorry for that interruption.. Anyway it's the new one from Guy Ritchie (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Sherlock Holmes). Looks ok, but it's just reminding me of another film. Looks like they want to make it a franchise.
Now to Camelot!

If forum posts are anything to go by. Looks like the chances of this becoming the next big film franchise just went down the pit of eternal peril  |

Brad Jones has up a review of it from an early screening (language warning) -
Long and short he thought it was completely awful.

I'm torn on this one.
Guy Ritchie is responsible for some of the best films out there.
He's also made those Sherlock Holmes movies....so.
I went back and re-watched Man from UNCLE recently and actually enjoyed it more than I did the first time. I think part of the reason is I stopped going "WHY ISN'T THIS A COOL GUY RITCHIE GANSTER FLICK!!?!?!!?!?!" and appreciated as a throw-back Bond-esque type flick. In that light it was really enjoyable. The dialogue was pretty mundane but the action sequences were really well done.
So I'm gonna give this one a chance because I like his style and seeing Jude Law as the baddie will be fun. Also I've read that Ritchie keeps the dialogue more modern in style. Which is great for me as I usually find movies that try to stick to the ye olde way of talking annoying as all get out.

well i liked the sherlock holmes movies, and going in blind to them, even watching the first one twice ..... because i was *ahem* a bit tired ..... and seeing the trailer it totally reminded me of them! another rollocking, spitfire of a movie then  oh and i watched the new twilight zone episode that george r.r. martin wrote, about a present day "defender of camelot", it was pretty good ..... and perhaps something that can be done in the future? |

Presently has a 5% on RT. I didn't expect it to review well but lot harsher than I was expecting really.

Probably doesn't help that anytime Charlie Hunnam does a film people just think Jax Teller in robots or a crown. I am one of those people and I love Charlie Hunnam.
It's just anytime I hear his voice in a movie I just think Jax. Which is weird, seeing as I don't think that with Bryan Cranston.

lol, RT%'s are a joke.
But, yeah - reviewers are probably going to have a lot problems with this one. Anytime there are visual/tonal anachronisms in "classic" stories like this - reviewers have a hard time dealing with it.
I never really got that. We've seen umpteen King Arthur movies already - why not try something different? I mean, it's a world of dragons and magic and stuff - but the clothes being close enough to the (fictionalized) time (yes, that's a real thing from a review I read) is throwing you off - pft. Gimme a break.
Everything I've read about it so far is that the biggest problem is the editing/pacing.
It seems they wanted to do a - you guessed it - series of movies already and then pulled back at the last minute so they had to bring it all together into one film leaving some cinematic dangling participles behind.
Everything else I've read are the same tired "critiques" I've read about anything that doesn't really conform to what's expected of the genre.

I have heard nothing but bad things about this movie... and just judging from the trailers it looks pretty bad.

There's been like three decent King Arthur movies; Sword in the Stone, Holy Grail, and Excalibur. Maybe four if you count Camelot. Its been mediocrity or outright crap ever since.

Can it really be so hard to make a good King Arthur movie?

Can it really be so hard to make a good King Arthur movie? Excalibur (The 81 flick) was good but most after that have been poor, However the TV series Merlin was good |

Is a Sword trailer a wagon filled with swords, or perhaps one made of swords.

Hand to God -- when I first saw this trailer I thought "Holy crap is this Disney's live action Sword in the Stone movie?!" (which will be a thing - apparently) before I saw the entire trailer. Hell, even Ritchie being involved didn't convince me it wasn't.
Cinema Snob saw a preview and basically shit all over it, strongest of avoids (which means I kinda wanna see it?)
Only good thing that's come out of this is an interview with Guy Ritchie at Uproxx revealed to the director that his Man From UNCLE movie (which tanked in theatres 2 years ago) has a cult following and that a sequel is in talks on some level, and that Ritchie had kinda heard some of this but thought it was all "flattery."

I'm getting older and not even the hippest dude, but who the hell is clamoring for a King Arthur flick?
