King Arthur: Legend of
the Sword (2017)
Directed by Guy
Ritchie this film stars Charlie Hunnam, Astrid Berges-Frisbey, Djimon
Hounsou, Aidan Gillen and Jude Law. After having his parents murdered
by his uncle the future King Arthur grows up in London leading a
criminal gang.
Essentially this is
King Arthur recast as a cockney wide boy and to be honest I think Guy
Ritchie is the only person in the world that wanted this version of
the story. Our protagonist is pretty unlikeable and has zero
character growth. There is far too much lore stuffed into this film
over story telling leading to an over reliance on montage sequences
to get through all the material.
2/5
