Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) by Tony1984 — 19 Aug 2018

Excellent opening but downhill from there on. Guy Ritchie just recreates Snatch, Two Smoking Barrels. Flash cuts, montages, multi camera shots, slo mo are flung at the viewer.The excruciatingly annoying cockney geezer humour is ever present.
