Review of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) by Lbodde — 20 May 2017

I don't know why all the hate on this movie. I thought it was great. I was pulled in and entertained for the length of it. Granted, if you are looking for the 'romantic' version of Camelot, this is not it.

But it was contemporary, visual as hell, and well acted. The details were impeccable. There were some off moments with editing/direction decisions and they pulled me out of the story a few times. So it's not a perfect movie but I'd spend my money to see it again and I don't say that often.

Compared to the horror that was the 'Great Wall', this is practically movie nirvana. Jude Law was the perfect casting choice and he seems to be so under-rated. He's been a revelation lately (see The Young Pope).

And Charlie Hunnam? Well, yeah. Sexy as hell and coming up the ranks in his acting ability since Sons of Anarchy. I hope the move forward with their plans to make this a series because I definitely want to see more.
