Review of King Arthur (2004) by Sasha M — 09 Apr 2012
A dreadful historical fiction and a far cry from the Arthurian legend from where it was based. Here comes the tale of the great warrior Arthur and his knights who have served Rome for almost 15 years, and facing their last battle to be back to where they all used to be.
The start was not so good. It just appeared to be a low-grade Gladiator duplicate. And as for his knights, they should've been mightier than what they seemed to be. They just looked like assailants obeying the command from Rome to gain their freedom.
Is that their idea of a knight? A knight is someone who was chosen and someone who vowed to fight for faith, loyalty, courage and honor. But luckily for this film, it somehow developed my interest as the movie rolled which is maybe due to my fascination about the Arthurian legend.
By the way, I really liked Clive Owen in the film. A very excellent choice for the role. I thought that this movie would be able to widen my little knowledge about the legend, but it seems that it failed to do so.
Well, three stars for the effort and being partially good enough.
