Review of King Arthur (2004) by Enrica C — 15 Nov 2012

If you're looking for nicely dressed ladies, a wizard Merlin and a sword in the rock well, you're not in the right place. This "King Arthur" will give you battles, and mud, and epic deaths but no fairitale ending -- It's been 8 years since I first saw this movie, and my opinion about it hasn't changed much: I still love its soundtrack, the way characters have been developed and the general tone of the movie.

This "King Arthur" is different from any other adaptation. It's darker, and it really wants to explain the story behind the legend of Arthur -- and I think it does. The opening and the closing scenes feel kind of cut, they always leave me with a need of closure. But a part from that there's not much I'd change about this movie. In its own, peculiar way it's entertaining and never boring. It's really good in most parts, and I'm really sorry it's been forgotten already.
