I just saw King Arthur: Legend of the Sword a few hours ago with a friend. I must say, this movie surpassed my expectations.
The movie is directed by Guy Ritchie, and he know what he wants from this film. What we get is a extremely fun and exciting action adventure with some comedy thrown in.
James Herbert edited this film perfectly, the style he brings to the film creates a flow that is a true pleasure to the audience members.
The music score was done by Daniel Pemberton. The songs match perfectly with the scenes that they are set with, I'm considering purchasing some of the songs from the album. Many of the songs rely heavily on percussion instruments.
It had a clean color scheme that was pleasing.
The actors lines are over the top just enough to work, and it works well. Arthur is portrayed by Charlie Hunnam, he preforms the role well I couldn't see anyone else playing Arthur, Charlie was made for this role. The villain of this tale is played by Jude Law, who portrays the villain pretty well if I do say so myself. Unfortunately Merlin isn't really in this film, which it would have been nice to see more of him. There is a female mage portrayed by Astrid Berges-Frisbey, between her character and Arthur there is a slight romance teased as a subplot, but it is not brought forth within this fun film. Arthur's friends are pretty entertaining throughout this movie and they are some of the best side characters in the film.
Of corse you should not expect that this film is based strongly in source material, go in expecting a lose interpretation. I should state though, that this movie is basically a video game movie done right. Go in with these expectations and you shouldn't be let down.
finale score: 4/5
