Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Allison Shoemaker (83) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 08 May 2017

What we really get is a film made of utter nonsense that’s even less interested in its characters than it is in telling a story…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Peter Debruge (1,557) for Variety (12,700) on 08 May 2017

Ultimately, “King Arthur” is just a loud, obnoxious parade of flashy set pieces, as one visually busy, belligerent action scene after another…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Fred Topel (1,193) for Nerd Report (100) on 08 May 2017

Cinematic takes on King Arthur have attempted to be realistic, romantic, fantastical and even musical (that one began on Broadway to be fair)…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 08 May 2017

Ritchie’s film is at all times over the top, crashing around its digital landscapes in all manner of beserkness, sometimes whooshing along,…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 08 May 2017

In all honesty, the rat-a-tat repartee and tasty touches of Classic pre-Madonna Ritchie don’t excuse a bastardization that takes forever…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Greg Wakeman (87) for CinemaBlend.com (1,378) on 08 May 2017

Guy Ritchie makes sure sure that the special effects-heavy blockbuster still has a swagger and drive that you just can't take your eyes off of…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Jamie Graham (285) for Total Film (3,532) on 08 May 2017

This is a tonal misfire, its characters cut down by a blitzkrieg of whip pans, CGI and thunderous percussion…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 08 May 2017

Optimism is nowhere to be found in Ritchie's movie itself…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Jimi Famurewa (28) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 08 May 2017

Although it flickers to life at times, King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword devolves into a jumbled affair, weighed down by confusing supernatural…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 08 May 2017

Ritchie’s film...is so misshapen and inert, your imagination and memory never come close to being sparked by it…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Todd Mccarthy (1,810) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 08 May 2017

From one moment to the next, it's possible to on some level enjoy the shaking up of tired conventions in a swordplay fantasy such as this and…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Stephen Whitty (1,794) for Newark Star-Ledger (1,745) on 08 May 2017

Verily, this film's inspiration seems to be not so much Le Morte d'Arthur as the leavings of an old game of Dungeons & Dragons, recollected…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Kevin P. Sullivan (44) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 08 May 2017

King Arthur could have been a rollicking blast. Instead it’s just another wannabe blockbuster with too much flash and not enough soul…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Kristy Puchko (422) for CBR (174) on 08 May 2017

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By David Crow (142) for Den of Geek (424) on 08 May 2017

By the climax, Jude Law has been completely subbed out for a computer generated shadow ghost straight out of Game of Thrones by way of Street…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Tim Grierson (1,482) for Screen International (2,241) on 08 May 2017

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Scott Mendelson (400) for Forbes (586) on 08 May 2017

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 08 May 2017

There are quick cuts and CG imagery and bro-ing out in nearly equal proportions; I found some of this excess to be heady and exciting, but…

Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)

By Matt Donato (975) for We Got This Covered (2,391) on 08 May 2017
