By Steven D. Greydanus (674) for National Catholic Register (119) on 10 May 2017

Revenge. It's the cheapest, laziest, lowest-common-denominator character motivation in the book. Cultural vandalism…

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

By Josh Lasser (114) for IGN Movies (1,472) on 10 May 2017

The most frustrating thing about Ritchie's take on King Arthur is that it has all the necessary elements to be a great version of the story,…

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword takes the mythos of the king through the ringer of both Ritchie's style and the necessary wow of a summer…

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

By Kimberley Jones (866) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 10 May 2017

The story never drags – it’s too frenetically paced for that – but it’s still kind of a drag…

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

By Colin Covert (1,936) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 10 May 2017

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

By Mark Hughes (145) for Forbes (586) on 10 May 2017

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 10 May 2017

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 10 May 2017

such a cultural mishmash (George (Tom Wu) the kung-fu master! A Syren that looks like The Little Mermaid's Ursula!) that it loses all distinction…

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

By Jason Zingale (478) for Bullz-Eye.com (1,091) on 10 May 2017
