Genres & Description

Action Adventure Drama Fantasy

6.8 / 10

An alternative version of the King Arthur legend. As a boy, Arthur is left orphaned after his father, King Uther Pendragon, and mother are killed in a war waged against them by Vortigern, who then assumes the throne. Arthur flees and is raised in a brothel, knowing very little of his birthright. Vortigern wants Arthur dead, to ensure there is no claimant to the throne. The legends foretell that only the next king will be able to draw Excalibur, Uther's sword, from the rock where it is lodged. So, in an effort to identify Arthur, Vortigern forces all the young men of Arthur's age to attempt to draw out the sword. Now it is Arthur's turn.

I kinda know why *CRITICS* dont liked this movie 1. It was G rated(for kids) 2. Arthur and Mage's story was unfinished at the end (u know what i mean 💦) 3. Who was lady of the lake? (plot hole) 4. Long time gaps (btw small arthur vs adult version of him) And so on on..... Anyways it was a good movie to watch... It could be a good tv series.. WB missed the opportunity - @Saturday, November 10, 2018 7:22 AM

I thought the CGI was horrendous, some bad casting decisions, and the pacing of the story was pretty awful at times. - @Tuesday, October 2, 2018 4:03 PM

Love the concept..was looking forward to another King Arthur but you cant do a King Arthur medieval movie with those hairstyles and t shirts..it just voids the ancient culture and suddenly becomes uninteresting for me. Gambeson closeup was extra cool though. If this had been along the lines of Robin Hood 2010 it would have been ok. It takes Ridley to do a good 'un. - @Wednesday, September 26, 2018 11:26 PM

I liked this movie because I could see Guy Ritchie's influence in the story line. The message in the movie was told very well and was a good twist to an old story. It's a good movie! A new movie deserves to watch it and put it in your favorite boxxy software! - @Wednesday, August 22, 2018 1:21 PM

Don’t know how this film didn’t do well. Love the movie, my mother who is not interested in hero-kind movies likes it. When I saw the trailer, I was expecting a historic take on the story. Instead, it blew my mind. It’s a power-metal-monsters-slaying video-game-like movie. It’s very entertaining and a good movie. A lot of fun. I enjoyed every second of it. - @Thursday, August 9, 2018 8:31 PM

Erland Nettum

What a shitty movie. Guy Ritchie has gone the same way as Quentin Tarantion, having to lavish their own brand of coolness on every film they make. In King Arthur it was no where near working. - @Tuesday, August 7, 2018 4:08 PM

Guy Ritchie's style is phenomenal and greatly unappreciated...loved the movie, loved the scenes, the cut, the music... - @Monday, August 6, 2018 8:51 PM

I turned the movie off 20 mins in. I love the concept of this movie and these kind of universes, but the way Guy Ritchie forced his way of editing and style into a Medievel fantasy thriller really made a very difficult to watch. It feels so forced and misplaced. It just doesn't fit this genre and I'm amazed that I'm the only one who seemes to be bothered by this. - @Tuesday, July 31, 2018 3:16 PM

Agreed John Smith, i loved this Movie one of the best ever and just like you i have no idea why it didn't make $500 million to a $Billion , loved (Trigger) David Beckams character . - @Sunday, July 29, 2018 3:55 AM

I remember watching this movie for the first time. At some point I had gotten so emotional from the movie I had tears running down my cheeks (the snake scene). I called my husband, who was out of town at the time and said "I have just found the best movie you will see all year". He agrees. Since then I have watch it three times. Good job Guy Ritchie. - @Thursday, July 26, 2018 5:51 AM

The opening sequence is truly beautiful. A well crafted world that draws you in. Music that fits the world and arouses emotion. It has really good cinematography in the parts that matter, such as where excalibur being used, the sequence with the lady of the lake, the king displaying his absolute authority, and many, many more. They managed to create a narrative that encompasses a lot of the Arthurian mythos we love while blending it with a romantic English atmosphere. The combat sequences in the latter part of the movie before the climax could have been done better, but all in all, for a 2 hour movie, it does a great job at keeping your attention. I would have liked to see Charlie Hunnam give a speech to the people, either at the beginning when he's almost executed, or at the end at his coronation, but his performance was otherwise stellar. I appreciated the cast enormously. Eric Bana, whom we know from Troy, plays Uther. I also liked the inclusion of Katie McGrath, who played Morgana in the TV series Merlin, though I wish she would have had a bigger role. It would have been good to see Merlin and a bit more of Arthur's character. I felt that they concentrated too much in that one scene where Uther dies, though I suppose that without it the movie wouldn't make too much sense. However, I wish I would have seen a bit more of who Arthur is. And more than that, where the sword came from. After all, you'd think that with a title like that, the origins of the blade would have played a bigger role. All in all, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword will surely go down as the best modern rendition of Arthurian legend. - @Monday, July 16, 2018 2:23 PM

Why do allmost all modern fantasy movies have this cold bluish hue in allmost all scenes? As if the sun is constantly in a partial eclipse. I am tired of it. - @Thursday, July 12, 2018 11:05 AM
