Review of King Arthur (2004) by Isabella H — 28 Mar 2009
"King Arthur" is an original and very different approach of the Legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. I was quite reluctant to see this DVD, but in the end, this movie was a great surprise for me and I liked it.
. The gorgeous Keira Knightley is amazing in the role of an unusual Guinevere. Unfortunately, the powerful role of King Arthur deserved a better actor: Clive Owen works well in the action scenes, but in the dramatic and romantic parts of the story he is simply awful.
The music score is fantastic, with the wonderful voice of Maire (Moya) Brennan, the sister of Enya, singing awesome songs. The direction and the cast are excellent; the battle scenes have magnificent choreography, and I specially liked the one on the ice, which seems to be a homage to "Alexander Nevsky".
