It's good fun.

But kind of like Suicide Squad, you're left wondering how out of touch Hollywood big execs can be for approving such a movie with such a big budget.

It's one of those movies that tries to turn historical events or legends into capeshit, which not even capeshit fans are interested in

should've made king arthur black
and turn it into a comedy

Really though, Djimon Hounsou is a much better actor than Jackie Boy, and it's a shame we don't live in a world where instead of being the Morgan Freeman to Jackie Boy's Kevin Costner we're not looking at an original fantasy movie with him as the lead.

Most moviegoers (kids and young adults) don't give a shit about King Arthur. The same way they didn't give a shit about fucking ben-hur. No one should be surprised this bombed.

These are the desperate screams of a dying industry and they are trying to appeal to every last potential movie goer in any way they can.
It will end when hollywood does and let's be honest here, they're going to ride that cockbike of diversity into our assholes for as long as humanly possible.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/markhughes/2017/05/11/review-king-arthur-legend-of-the-sword/#585fd8c456cc

>This story is set around the 5th Century, and yet Arthur grows up watching mixed martial artists with a highly diverse and multicultural Fight Club in his neighborhood (this isn't a complaint about diversity, it's just the fact literally nobody even remarks upon it at all or notices, and there's no attempt to really even offer a passing explanation for this, when explanations would've added greater backstory and characterization and flavor to those proceedings). Arthur also wears red-brown leather pants and hip stylized jackets that look like he raided Jim Morrison's wardrobe, has a slick hipster haircut and goatee, and uses casual modern slang (when asked several questions about himself, he replies, "Why, you writing a book?").

>What makes it worse is, the reasoning behind those choices is fairly obvious -- they want to make Arthur cooler, hipper, by making him supposedly edgy and gritty and violent and rocking. It's a stereotyped filter through which to view the target demographic of teenage and college-age males who are perpetually treated as the most important audience in the entire world, and as having a narrow set of tastes or ability to understand and appreciate art in any other form other than "it's so extreme and badass and edgy, dude!" Distilling that demographic down into such a shallow caricature, and then treating that caricature of that small privileged demographic as the ones who must naturally always be pandered to, does a disservice to audiences everywhere and tends to completely taint and stain stories and films that had a chance to actually succeed and be something interesting and entertaining.

You actually could make a ton of Arthurian movies, the stories themselves are set up in a very easily adaptable capeshit sort of format where you focus on one character for a long time but it all fits together into a larger narrative. But nobody would bother doing that right in film. Might work for tv actually.

>>82788872
Did they actually take out the most important character?

>>82786562

1) King Arthur was a fucking bronze age legend popular in the middle ages, not set in the middle ages.
2) Even if you wanted to set it in the middle ages you ignore how COLOURFUL the middle ages were.
3) Out of place minorities appropriating European culture.
4) Contemporary morality pushed into a period piece YET AGAIN.

Just no. There has never been any good adaptation because it was only ever good because it was the MCU of its era. Too many stories and characters to do justice to any of it in a single movie. Not to mention the Christian appropriation of a Pagan legend not represented accurately.

>>82789210

I liked the more magic-based angle approach they took to this one. The clothes were pretty cool too.

>>82789836
He said that he is confused about why is there no back story to the multicultural fight club: "but no! no! I am not complaining about diversity! I just want them to have a good backstory Please dont hate me! I am not a racist!".

The second paragraph is his cuckhold fantasies about how in his mind the fact that the main hero has leather trousers is an expression of "MUH FUCKING WHITE MAIL PRIVILAGE REEE WHY YOU PANDER TO WHITE MAIL WITH THOSE DISCUSSTING GOATEE GET OUT"

I mean the fact that he said that the wardrobe choice is fucking "pandering to the privileged white man in their twenties" is a tad of a stretch.

It's an action comedy. If I were doing a historical movie I'd use modern vernacular too. Not to be cool and appeal to anybody, but fuck that old English bullshit. It's not necessary and it's not accessible.

Lin-Manuel Miranda understood that with Hamilton and got praised for it.
