Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) by Vincent Y — 06 Sep 2017

I... don't get the critics. This movie wasn't brilliant. But it was good. It was enjoyable. It had humor, some good acting, a straightforward, but understandable plot, and LOTS of nice style and action. It's a good action-fantasy romp, far better than something like Gods of Egypt (which come on wasn't even that bad). People don't really give a crap about the classics unless there's style... and there was some nice style and polish on this story.

Put it shortly, Arthur gave me what I wanted and a bit of what I didn't expect. Great style, a complicated but compelling performance of Arthur and good action. I loved the soundtrack. I even thought the Villain was alright. The only thing I would like is a bit of a better characterised, but smaller supporting cast, but that was my only qualm.
