Came in with low expectations, and despite not being anything outstanding, the movie turned out as very enjoyable for me.

Yes, it is an imprecise take on the Arthurian Legend [spoiler]_Since when Mordred is a mage and Arthur has an evil uncle? Is this Saruman meets Hamlet?_[/spoiler]. Yes, it is a superficial action movie. Yes, it is nothing special. However, I found that the pace of the movie was pretty spot-on, the characters were -although shallow- pretty charismatic, and the balance between fighting scenes, humor and dramatic tipping points very appropiate. The music (a mix of tribal noises, gaelic sounds and urban rhythms) was very solid and accompanied the images perfectly.

It is absolutely clear that this film will not set new standards, nor push the boundaries of a genre; but it will surely provide two hours of entertainment. Give it a shot if you're looking for an engaging fantasy action film -like Warcraft, for example-.

Very big surprise for me. I was pretty sure to give it an 8 score but after final battle I had to raise it to nine :) I really enjoyed this one and this is how legends should be told, oh sorry, filmed. And the soundtrack is amazing. I don't want to write more, you just have to watch it. And yes, I will definitely watch it again.

Vastly underrated film. Like it or not, Ritchie imposes his style on the Arthurian legend in the same fashion Zack Snyder did in 300. A very entertaining spectacle (though not much more) the large vistas and lush cinematography should be appreciated on the​ big screen. Don't believe the shite, see this film and judge for yourself!

The plot is a mess, with many scenes that go nowhere. The action is mediocre and cam-shaky; most of the time there is no what of telling what the fuck is going on and where people where in relation to each other.

Watched this movie yesterday in a preview. It's not much more than the generic: Boy loses all, fights evil family, Boy has it all. There's some good humour in the movie, but the story feels very rushed due to the amount of montage style sequences. Good movie to watch on a lazy Sunday, but I would waste my money on a ticket

Horrible action sequences, horrible directing

So, the name of the characters, and the fact that he picks up Excalibur from a rock. That's about all there is in common with Arthur's story. Not a bad thing in itself, the story is old and used enough to be told differently, and the movie definitely has hiw own style, you can at least grant it that.

That being said, the intro battle with the giant elephant looks pretty good. Clearly half of the budget went there. Half of the rest went to the final battle with the flaming demon, which looks nice enough though a little cheap and too much for what the movie aspired to be. You can save yourself some time by skipping everything in the middle.

The story and pacing make not much sense. The patchwork of scenes of Arthur growing up is weird. The part before the sword is kinda ok, it would actually have been an interesting story to tell. But after he picks up the sword almost nothing makes any sense, specially the editing .

The transitions of the story are made to the rhythm of video clip. The bad one gives me laughter instead of fear. Huge holes in the script. A waste of time

I like most of Ritchie's films, but sadly this was a complete mess.

I really don't understand why people hate this movie so much. It's not the best movie in the whole world, but my friends and I enjoyed it and had a lot of fun watching it. I would watch it again and I recommend everyone to give it a chance.

Terrible direction, abysmal scenario, music (from a dj) and dialogue.
Zero plot. Videogame-like CGI.
The camera zooms too much in a lot of situations and the animation is sloppy. Some scenes were filmed with a go-pro camera.

Arthur is a douchbag.
