Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 30 "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" is a flashy but ultimately mediocre take on the Arthurian myth. The film clearly aims for a gritty, stylized reimagining of legendary history, but the result feels more like a music video stretched into a feature film than a fully grounded epic. Visually, it has moments of flair and energy, with stylized action sequences and a strong modern aesthetic. However, the heavy reliance on fast cuts and CGI can become overwhelming and sometimes distracts from the story rather than enhancing it. The narrative itself feels uneven, rushing through key character developments and relying more on style than substance. While the cast does what they can with the material, the emotional core never fully lands, making it hard to stay invested. Overall, it’s not without entertainment value, but it falls short of its ambitions. A 4/10: interesting in concept, but lacking depth and cohesion.

It’s got the best soundtrack, and it’s just a really fun take on the classic story and fantasy film style. It brings the heist vibe from a movie like Snatch (same director, Guy Ritchie, which gives this movie that same feel). It’s such an unusual movie but if you like Ritchie’s other films, and the lord of the rings etc, this is probably a good fit for you. I loved it.

There are some issues with it, pacing and dialogue, but I could still recommend watching it for what it’s worth. It’s a fun and exciting story, for a new audience. The music was on point, the action sequences were action’ing, and the cast was top-notch. Some of the CGI was a bit weird though, and Jude Law’s power trip made you want to kick him in the nuts. Honestly, I couldn’t take Vortigen too seriously. See more Q N @RT48267680 Mar 20 Modern slop mixed with archaic legend. The story writing for this movie was awful. It started out incredibly engaging and captivating. With Uther Pendragon showing the might of Excalibur. However, after we move onto the story of Arthur, everything fell apart. With his origin story crafting him into a coward rather than a hero. Constantly doing all the wrong things, even though hes been hardened through street life. I don't understand whether to feel sorry for the actor that had to deal with this terrible script, or feel bad for the character that's forced to act out ridiculous scenes to push a badly written plot. If you're feeling like you've got nothing else to watch, then this garbage might be a good pass time. However, there are a dozen better Arthur stories than this.

I have NO idea why it has been so poorly rated, except that rating may be coming from old reviewers. See more Read all reviews
