User reviews
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is a brilliant film. Director Guy Ritchie has showcased his signature styles of shooting, in his take on the Arthurian legend. The visual effects are spectacular. I highly recommend that you watch this movie in 3D(I watched the movie in 2D). There are many scenes worth watching in 3D. The action set pieces are slick. Despite being a period fantasy, this film feels like a modern action movie. Guy Ritchie has added yet another unforgettable movie to his filmography following, Sherlock Holmes(2009), Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows(2011) & The Man from U.N.C.L.E.(2015). Performance-wise, there is nothing to fault. Charlie Hunnam is perfect as Arthur. Hunnam brings his signature swagger to his portrayal of Arthur. This makes our protagonist, even more likable. Astrid Berges-Frisbey is great as The Mage. Jude Law is outstanding as Vortigern. Djimon Hounsou is impressive as Bedivere. Eric Bana is superb as Uther. Aidan Gillen is good as Bill. Freddie Fox, Craig McGinlay, Tom Wu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Neil Maskell, Annabelle Wallis & Geoff Bell are brilliant as Rubio, Percival, George, Wet Stick, Back Lack, Maggie & Mischief John, respectively. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is a must watch for all Guy Ritchie & Charlie Hunnam fans & fantasy film buffs.
Storyline
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.
