Just a loud, obnoxious parade of flashy set pieces, as one visually busy, belligerent action scene after another marches by, each making less sense than the last..
Full reviewWriter-director Guy Ritchie (Sherlock Holmes) casts Charlie Hunnam (Pacific Rim) as King Arthur in this retelling of the classic medieval tale, tracing the prince's journey from the streets to the throne.
When his father is murdered, Vortigern (Jude Law), Arthur's uncle, seizes the crown. Robbed of his birthright and with no idea who he truly is, Arthur comes up the hard way in the back alleys of the city. But once he pulls the Excalibur from the stone, his life is turned upside down and he is forced to acknowledge his true legacy.

Full reviewThis is a tonal misfire, its characters cut down by a blitzkrieg of whip pans, CGI and thunderous percussion.
Full reviewPut your fingers in your ears when the talking starts, and you might enjoy the view.
Full reviewA lot of shenanigans, detours and filler, some bad, some good and all of it disposable.
Full reviewRitchie’s film is at all times over the top, crashing around its digital landscapes in all manner of beserkness...
Full reviewKing Arthur sees Ritchie taking on one of the founding myths of Pomgolia. And losing.
Full reviewIf nothing else, this is a heck of a lot more entertaining than the staid 2004 King Arthur film starring Clive Owen.
Full reviewLoud, bombastic and thuddingly obvious, this is a vulgar movie for vulgar times.
Full reviewIf you’re easily pleased by a bit of well-rendered CGI spectacle and cod-fantasy set dressing, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword will scratch that itch.
Full reviewDevolves into a jumbled affair, weighed down by confusing supernatural elements and a lazy reliance on visual effects.
