Loved the blend of a modern action movie with the legend and myth of Arthurian lore! Great fantasy action and character development in a setting I would loved to have seen more of! It takes me back to a world that could have held all our fantasy favorites from Willow to Legend. Definitely should have gotten a sequel.

It’s not a 10, but it’s not a 4, either. I’d give it a solid 8. It’s funny how much of a juxtaposition exists between critics and users. It’s similar in video games, too. The movie is a gimmicky modern adaptation to the Legend Of King Arthur. There’s a ton of anachronism in the movie yet, it somehow works well. If you blended Snatch with King Arthur, you’d get this **** cast is great, CGI is great, acting is solid, sound effects are top notch. The score may not be for everyone and it probably doesn’t fit but I still loved it. If you’re sick of seeing a bunch of fantasy movies where the male lead is a bumbling idiot who needs the stoic girl boss to toughen him up, this movie is for you.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is an entertaining and visually impressive film with a star-studded cast, but its unlikable characters, odd story telling strategy and spotty action sequences make it not so worthy of the sword it wields.

I love this movie, the first time I saw movie and my hands were wet + my favorite actor in the main role who played brilliantly, it's just a pity he wasn't with "The Magician Woman" at the end There should definitely be further parts! DEFINITELY THERE IS NO NEED TO BE CONSIDERED BY ANY CRITICS IF PEOPLE DEFINITELY LIKE IT AND IT IS ONE OF THE BEST SUSPENSE FILMS IN HISTORY

Amazing movie, was shocked to find out it had bad reviews so came to give it some good points!

Guy Ritchie est le Tarantino anglais et de fait, il ne peut faire que de la merde, y compris avec les mythes arthuriens ! le voici qui tente de rendre le fameux héros (légendaire) cool et sexy (?), branché et à la mode moderne… comme dans un film de gangsters typique du réalisateur à la masse, ces films de merde dont il s’est fait une spécialité, ces espèces de viles comédies débiles et bien connes, avec toujours leur atmosphère branchouille de mes couilles. On se croirait donc quasiment dans notre Kamelott (!) mélangé -comme dit plus haut- à de la tarantinade avariée et recyclée, pleine ici d’anachronismes et de dialogues aberrants, complètement déphasés par rapport au sujet initial et c’est peu de le dire ! On se croirait donc dans un film de loubards typique, londonien et prétentieux comme les daubes déjà torchées par Guy Ritchie, ce réalisateur à chier qui n’en manque pas une : il ne manque jamais une occasion de faire encore et toujours de la merde ! autant dire qu’on se lasse, qu’on s’énerve très vite devant ce salmigondis foutraque de sale film pourri, car last but not least, le rôle de cet Arthur débilos échoit au roi des quiches (et des cons) Charlie Hunnham ! la coupe est pleine, n’en jetez plus !

well i think it was a good Movie , the ending is kinda goofy tho but i liked it

This is an After Effects demo reel, not a movie. Or perhaps more apt, a video game. A crappy, third-party Lord of the Rings ripoff developed by a British frat house.

The stage of King Arthur's popularity has already passed, and all the films are based on the stories of knights and Merlin, who created all this in the past. Guy Richie, stick to your style - this is my advice to you.

Thoroughly enjoyable movie if you like this genre. Special effects are well done and cast is good.

Amazing, epic, funny and unique. These are all the things that make the movie work. Don't listen to the critics and watch it for yourself. I don't think it's for everyone but if you love fantasy you will find this to be a wild and exciting ride.

Cool movie.. I thought some of the blonde haired supposed to be king role could of been a lil bit toned down and a lil bit more mature. Just a little

La trama está bien y las escenas de acción son entretenidas; es una buena película para pasar un rato de entretenimiento y nada más.

I’m a huge fan of Arthurian tales and I usually don’t like drastic changes but this movie was entertaining and Guy Richie’s unique style worked for the most part. There was a flat and repetitive vibe about half way thru but overall it was still good.

The critics' review just don't make justice to this movie. It's epic, funny, fast and really enjoiable. It's a shame we won't see a sequel. Charlie Hunnam is perfect for this role and Guy Richie's vision for these franchiase could have been epic. I expecially love the photography and the soundrack. Go see it!

This movie is fun as hell and an awesome take on a boring story otherwise. Watch it

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Он офигенен. Не имеет ничего общего с легендой про Артура, но как самостоятельный фильм смотрится очень хорошо. Хотя "боевая мега форма" злодея просто ужасно нелепая.

Very Interesting movie , one of the best Guy Ritchie film. Top Video graphics, video effects,top music and sound. Must be watched

An original spin on a legend, and a great movie. One negative is that a story moves too fast.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Great music, scenario and effects. Watched this movie five times! Do not consider critic’s reviews seriously

The PlayStation One-era graphics and hectic editing ruin this gazillionth remake of the classic legend. Terrible electronic music and an overly complicated plot don't help either.

Really good movie. Won't be too memorable but you'll enjoy every minute of it. It's believable, it has a fantastic and magic side really well done. The cast and the acting was great too. The storyline it's not the best in the world, but everything makes sense and it's well carried.

Its Fun. I honestly don't have much more to say. Its isn't perfect because the story isn't special and some of the Characters are one dimensional even if the Actors show an good performance. But Guy Ritchies fast style makes the Movie entertaining and re **** action is great the CGI is fantastic and Charlie Hunnam is an great Arthur. Its sad that we never gonna see an 2 Movie.

Ritchie at his best, this has awesome action and visuals, cool music and all Ritchie's trademarks.

Excellent film. Which captures and does not let go. Very dynamic and interesting. Especially cool music and shots of fights. Waiting for the continuation

This is a perfect example of how trailers can manage to create a better film than the actual movie itself. This film had a lot of promise but just fell completely flat after the kind of interesting battle sequence at the start, but with giant eephants in a battle it is obviously going to be entertainig, albeit plagiarised from Lord of the rings. From then on the story was as dry and monotone as the acting that focused more on being charming than immersive. This is too cheap a movie to be loved and too bad a script to be considered as worthy of anybodies money.

Great movie, bad for not seeing the sequel. Very cool style. Guy Ritchie makes a great movie.I do not understand why such a low score of critics .. Money is not brought?

Le Roi Arthur: La Légende d'Excalibur Je l'attendais pour une seule raison l'acteur principal ! #SonsOfAnarchy Arthur est devenu "Moi je fais comme ça! Si tu n'es pas content retourne chez ta mère" ce qui fait qu’à part la phrase précédente et quelque défaut minime rien ne m’a déçu! Mais ce qui m’a surpris c'est la photographie; certains plans sont magnifiques. Et les effets spéciaux sont impressionnants au niveau de la composition. Ils sont extrêmement savoureux, tellement qu'on en redemande #RalentiStopMotionPsychédélic. Une musique EPIC à tout instant j'ai adoré la Soundtrack faire du vieux avec du récent c'est chouette. Bref aller voir ce film juste pour le plaisir des yeux et des oreilles (si vous aimez l'Epic)

Looking at user ratings. And comparing this with the assessment of the administration of the site. METACRITIK's assessment is ****. They are not reliable. Do not rely on their assessments. And the movie is great, they are not goodies and special effects straight from the mega. He gives him comfortably 8.0 It's a pity I watched him so badly.

It's good! I wish the slightly odd pace of narrative and writing could have taken a bigger part. Those segments were funny and gave it a unique and quirky sort of storytelling. Unfortunately some parts become very typical. Especially surrounding some old and well used story tropes etc. So not the most original story. Good characters though. Also might have overused special effects at some points. It just looks like a video game in some parts. Kinda breaks the spell. Very enjoyable though. Shame there won't be more.

Give this one a chance is really fun movie.charlie hunnam looks like he enjoyed every second he spends con this film and also i notice the hurt he puts todo his caracther.

Definitely one of the better movies of 2017, I am very sad that they cancelled the sequels. Amazing Visual Effects and Battle Scenes make this movie a must see for anyone looking for a great Action/Fantasy movie. Plot is sometimes a little hard to follow, and if you are looking for a pure historically accurate movie don't see this

This movie is very untrue to the original legend of King Arthur. I mean sure there are some elements keep the same, but it's highly westernized. And very well at that. It lights a spark that wasn't there until, know to draw in new audiences. Also the protagonists charismatic character only helps this, as well as some amazing directing sequences. It's very entertaining, very well paced. This new approach on the Legends of the Sword is also welcomed and makes this not that cliche. Very well acted, and shot. A very good movie. Definitely worth a watch!

**** the critics! The movie was awesome!!!! .....................................

What a fun mess. This movie or more like a two hour music video starts immediately in the middle of a battle with huge elephants and loud music playing in the background. It's chaotic and expensive looking and admittedly kind of exciting. After this we get some weird dialogue with music still playing in the background because at the same time the movie keeps cutting to a battle. Ten minutes in we see Arthur for the first time and the movie becomes extremely fast-paced and it felt like the movie was constantly skipping over some important character moments so it could get back to the stylistic action. I guess Guy Ritchie just wanted to make a cool looking movie without really caring about character development, because I seriously didn't care about anyone in this film. The film just feels like a bunch of weirdly edited montages with music playing loudly in the background. Sometimes so loudly that I couldn't hear any of the dialogue even when the characters were yelling. Almost everything is done in slow motion and a lot of the camerawork was very over the top. King Arthur of course has to have perfect hair even after waking up or having mud all over him, but I didn't really even mind because the movie just kind of begs you to roll with it. There were a couple moments that had some actual tension with the characters and fun dialogue, but they're over pretty quickly and the movie gets back to the action. Overall King Arthur Legend Of The Sword is a very over the top film that doesn't really care to give actual characters to care about, just very entertaining action. Some of the acting is pretty bad and Jude Law isn't given enough to do, but I'd recommend this movie as some late night entertainment.

A steaming pile of incoherent **** Its watchable with the right amounts of alcohol. But thats about it.

If you are one of those movie fans who salivate over exuberant, picturesque period sets that are a marvel to watch beginning to end, then this is the movie for you. And although the flash card montages were off putting at times, this is one good romp of an entertainment.

It does not follow the true story, no. BUT WHO CARES, Its a great movie. Enjoy it for what it is. I was expecting a flop because of the reviews and totally loved it. Its a mix of Excalibur , 300 and Snatch. And it worked for me. I seriously don't understand some of the reviews. Sit back and enjoy it

I love fantasy movie and I'm also fan of the story King Arthur. However there hasn't really been a good movie adaptation of this story and sadly this movie didn't change that opinion. The story is pretty generic and they fail to catch what is fantastical about the original tale. They turn the character of Arthur from someone you want to see succeed into someone that we really don't have reason to care about. Finally they change the story to be about stopping the evil Uncle which feels like a rip off Hamlet. In conclusion if your looking for a good King Arthur story then stick to the books.

It’s exciting, unique and has exceptional quality. The scores is not good reflection of how it truly is and only the people who have never heard about the story of Arthur would be lost. Which almost everyone has so it was nice to see a movie that didn’t waste so much time on the tales which we already know. Richie is a great director and going from his usually style of films to this was more enjoyable that expected. Those who gave a poor review just lack imagination and decided the score before watching it because the film I saw was not below average. We have all seen average and that would be another typical movie where characters behave like we expect. This was something new and fresh from a well known story that has be depicted over and over.

It's a new take on the Arthur Legend, it's entertaining and a nice setup for future movies.

Critics need to get their brains checked, because this was such a well made movie. Had the best sword fight, music, and acting you will ever see. Guy Ritchie has a very unique style of directing, which I love. Too bad they will not make any sequels.

A different take on the sword in the stone! This one came with a little surprise. I know it was a Guy Ritchie film and I had enjoyed all his previous flicks. But for some reasons, I felt I'm not that interested in this. Even trailer looked okayish. Watching the film now I realised that I've totally misjudged it. Still not a masterpiece, but a much better entertainer. The graphics were awesome. The settings were totally encouraging to glue to it. The story, stunts, with some of the slow- motions, very detailed and muscularly enchanting. Everybody knows the basic storyline of King Arthur. In this, it opened with two brothers feud and following a young man grew up in a brothel. When the city slowly gripped with the myth that the legendary prince would return to the crown, now the king, Vortigern vows to find him first and end the threat. But what comes after him was beyond his expectation. He has to finish it off what he had failed years ago. On the other hand Arthur has all the support, particularly the legendary sword passed on to him by his father. I had liked the Disney animated film back when I was a kid. This was completely a different film. For the live-action, it stood and delivered what viewers had expected. The music was another advantage. All the actors were good. The rise of Charlie Hunnan. His recent films were pushing him to the next level. Surely a lookout star. Despite a poor box office, it is a much better film. Once again the film critics got it all wrong. Good for one time watch. 7/10

Movie is just insane ride from start to end. Its an action/fantasy popcorn movie, so thats what you are getting. If you are into that, it does not get much better. Personally, i think that the actors performances were amazing. It makes me realy sad we most likely wont be getting any of the planned sequels, because movie flopped. If only they would make at least some smaller budget sequel. Probably most fun i had in cinema in 2017.

Highly entertaining film with a great performance and a great lead character. The side characters are all boring though and the story isn't anything fresh or new. The visuals are crazy and different and so are the action sequences. Director Guy Ritchie adds a lot of fun, quippy dialog, and a lot of quick, funky editing to make the movie very enjoyable. The movie is a blast and nothing else.

It's a film for men in America, that have been trivialized by American culture. It's very inspiring for men, and there aren't many left in America, so this film will get mostly bad ratings. If you are a Man, then the beginning is slow and painful, but if you can accept the feminine, fantasy crap, like most of us can survive to have sex with the hot ones here, then you'll be ok. It isn't a great film in any way, other than special effects, which seems to be the norm nowadays. It's a film for the few, with the special effects to wow the idiots, with a message for the best of us. It's hard to find positive messages in Hollywood nowadays. I hope my review isn't a death sentence for the production crew or cast.

Guy Ritchie as usual provides, even though this is not the best of his movies. Still great movie and an even greater soundtrack. Has some funny moments throughout too.

For the first time in his career, Guy Ritchie is likely happy he directed Swept Away because without its existence, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword would have firmly established itself as Ritchie's worst effort in his career. Entering in the illustrious pantheon of bad films that bomb after being intended to start a franchise, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is everything that is wrong about blockbusters today. Cliche and riding the hero's journey too closely, the film's special effects ridden action, frantic cutting (even beyond Ritchie's norm), and awkward injections of "humor" during tense or thrilling moments, the film is a hodge-podge of everything that studios believe audiences want. Unfortunately, as is often the case in these failed franchise starters, it turns out that audiences do not want to watch an incomprehensible, poorly edited, poorly acted, and exceedingly dull film. The tragic part about King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is that it starts off pretty well. With his castle under attack, King Uther Pendragon (Eric Bana) defends his people by using Excalibur to decisively cut through the invaders' forces and kill their leader. Unfortunately, he did not count on his brother Vortigern (Jude Law) having turned on him. Sacrificing his to become more powerful, Vortigern kills Uther and tries to take Excalibur, but Uther turns into a stone with the sword in his back. Setting up the legend of the sword with his son Arthur drifting off in a boat and being found by a group of women Moses-style, being destined to pull that sword out of him and liberate England from Vortigern. Though he is unwilling and tries to throw away his destiny (the classic cut-and-paste scene of the Lady of the Lake rising with the sword to give it back to Arthur that is in every King Arthur movie apparently), this destiny is not one he can run from unless he is willing to see Britain descend into darkness. Becoming the man who will liberate his people (Moses again), this prophet who is persecuted by the King (Moses again, but also Jesus to some degree) must rise to the occasion via the Hero's Journey to save England. Though cliched to a fault, the story is nonetheless one that can become gripping with Ritchie's occasionally sharp script delivering the fantastical journey and thrills necessary for a King Arthur film. Unfortunately, shortly after the film's strong opening, things begin to go awry. In other words, Guy Ritchie takes over. Known for his rapid cutting, Ritchie seems to forget he has already cut 15,000 times before unleashing another round of 15,000 shots of Charlie Hunnam's face on the world. Immediately after the credits, he shows Arthur growing up from a young boy to a man with intensive training and odd encounters in his brothel home. Rapidly skimming through time, the headache-inducing sequence tragically sets the tone for a film that puts a premium on rapid cuts and slow-mo action instead of story. So brief, distracting, and inconsequential, this particular montage would have been better if replaced by a "20 years later..." bumper before just cutting to Arthur being a ripped Englishman set to encounter his destiny. Reliant upon these rapid cuts throughout, Ritchie - as expected - uses it frequently as characters tell a story to somebody who was not there - such as Arthur giving an account of his whereabouts to a police officer with Ritchie flipping through the flashback and the present day with the flashback often matching Charlie Hunnam's every it of dialogue - or to toss in flashbacks and foreshadowing about Arthur's destiny, but where the film truly lacks with this rapid cutting are in action scenes. Rendering them nonsensical and often incomprehensible, Ritchie tries desperately to cover up the poor special effects with this flashy editing style, but it unfortunately has the opposite impact. Instead, these flashy cuts only serve to highlight the often poor special effects that are found in this film, especially as Arthur duels with officers towards the end. Cutting, pausing, slowing things down, and spinning the camera in a circle around the action, Ritchie tries every trick in his arsenal to make the scene look good but does nothing more than confuse and nauseate. Furthermore, it is a clear attempt to manipulate the audience into feeling tension and thrills during the action - especially as Arthur and his friends run from the cops with Ritchie rapidly cutting, using an extreme close-up with a handheld camera, and sprinkling in shaky cam into the scene - as even Ritchie can see that the film is not all that original. Trying to inject originality and beat back claims of predictability with these drawn-out and "stylish" action scenes, Ritchie only manages to further highlight his film's hollow nature. This half-hearted attack at style over substance only serves to prove this as he relies upon it like a crutch to make up for the film's thin writing and run-of-the-mill approach to Arthurian legend.
