Acclaimed filmmaker Guy Ritchie brings his dynamic style to the epic fantasy action adventure “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.” Starring Charlie Hunnam in the title role, the film is an iconoclastic take on the classic Excalibur myth, tracing Arthur’s journey from the streets to the throne. When the child Arthur’s father is murdered, Vortigern (Jude Law), Arthur’s uncle, seizes the crown. Robbed of his birthright and with no idea who he truly is, Arthur comes up the hard way in the back alleys of the city. But once he pulls the sword from the stone, his life is turned upside down and he is forced to acknowledge his true legacy…whether he likes it or not.

If it were possible to give a negative star rating, it would be negative five stars. What the hell are they doing with the Arthurian Legend? It's embarrassing that British actors and directors were involved in this mess. The 20-minute storyline is constantly interrupted by pre-Matrix level "special" effects. Honestly, the studio should be paying us to watch this drivel, and apologizing profusely as they do; don't waste even your enemy's time or money on this abomination.

Idk, if it was his own twist or written to be played that way, but the way the character Arthur came out was horrible. Considering that he is the main character it kinda ruined the movie. The final battle was as lame as those late 90s early 2000s Marine commercials where the kid slays a dragon. Oh and the token hott tough girl has been done. I would like to see it go away.

This movie is such a disappointment...no storyline at all, it all looks like a perpetual rush, without details about the whole quest they are in. If you know a bit the Arthurian cycle, there are many things that are surprising, and not in good way: - the legend is supposed to happen at the end of the Roman empire, around the 5th century. With Vikings here, the story is takes place during the 9th or 10th century... - Where is Merlin?? Merlin supposedly raised Arthur, not women in a brothel... - Uther never had a brother named Vortigern. - Mordred, in numerous versions of the legend, is supposed to be the son or the nephew of Arthur, sometimes his cousin, never an enemy of Uther. - And so on. The legend already has so much material for a movie, why creating something from scratch, and in a poor way? The characters are far from being convincing. Way to "hollywoodish" in my opinion, in their attitudes, clothes or language, when I was expecting something closer to the Name of the Rose, Vikings, or LOTR. Talking about LOTR, this movie apparently rendering a "free" interpretation of the legend finally looks like a clumsy mix of Peter Jackon's master piece, Robin Hood, and GoT.
