Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) by Dubeau — 28 Jul 2017

This is a strange film. You have the feeling that it's a Sherlock Holmes sequel (those made by Ritchie of course) in it's form and shape, since the editing and storytelling employs many of the same schemes.

You even got a Gopro moment...I found it funny when it happened. Some actions scenes are pretty good like those with Excalibur. But some actions were just a resume, and I felt frustrated that good parts of the film were presented in a videoclip/flashback format.

As such, we all know the story, but this one tries to add some twist to it and it's much more a full fantasy. Some choices were really poor (exotic animals in England!??). Anyway the story works from time to time, but falls when it tries to imitate LOTR .

The music is quite decent. The FX are unequals at times. The acting is pretty solid. I give it a 65% because I was entertain but I feel this movie tried too hard copying the others.
