>6 films

Wew

6? That isn't even optimism,it is madness.

>>82905007
WB were the only tools who didn't see this coming

>>82905007
It's been obvious for YEARS that WB has no idea what they're doing

The BvS fiasco proved it beyond a doubt

>>82905007
Disney literally killed all other studios being successful desu

guess you could say there's gonna be some blowback

Can't help but still feel bad for Guy Ritchie even if he filmed a shit product, he was such a bro on JRE recently and the way he was discussing how this movie had been delayed a while and how the release process has become a total corporate clusterfuck, it sounded like he knew this was about to happen

>>82905007

The previews were laughable. It was marketed the wrong way. It's like it wanted to be Gladiator meets fucking Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings.

I don't know about the movie itself because I didn't care to go see it. That's how bad it was. I guess the marketing was right. They actually showed how bad it was going to be.

>releasing a medieval movie (a genre most people don't care about and those who do usually watch on tv instead) the same weekend as guardians of the galaxy

Warner must be competing with Sony for that "most retarded move in cinematic history" award.

Six films?! Who the hell would watch six films of that tripe.

>muh gritty demotivational reboot where Arthur was just a complete and total lad haha!

Fuck that.

Not Disney

Not Capeshit

>>82905343
All the big studios are trying to emulate the success of the MCU. Unfortunately they fail to realize that the MCU had a built in fanbase that was more than ready for 6 movies.

DC has a fanbase as well but WB is just fucking up the films by over editing them.

lmao no fucking way

>>82905343

You got it. There were going to be separate films about Lancelot, Merlin, etc.

>>82905007
6 films? Bullshit I don't believe that. You'd be hard pressed to make 3.

>>82905343

It will be competing head to head with the Greek cinematic universe and the Mark Twain cinematic universe.

Sneak peek at upcoming sequel

>>82905411
The preestablished comic fanbase is only a tiny fraction of the people who go to see Marvel movies now.

The real reason why the MCU became a success is RDJ and Iron Man
That movie struck GOLD and the MCU was just a promise of "more like that"
And it has delivered, more or less

A cinematic universe needs that first movie to be really good and then it can coast from there

>>82905007
I actually thought this looked pretty good and was excited for it.

Sad to see it bombing.

>>82905241
I watched it, it completely jumbles the Arthurian mythos (Mordred, for example, is the evil leader of a race of wizards this time around).
That'd be fine, if it did something interesting with it. It doesn't. Everything in this movie happens as a montage. Action prologue? Montage. Arthur growing up? Montage. The whorehouse he was raised in raided and burned down? Montage. Arthur training with Excalibur in a Dagobah-looking place called the Darklands? Two minutes of montage. And you will get sick of Arthur's mom and dead getting killed by Phantom Ganon over and over and over again. Also, holding the sword with both hands is an automatic insta-win for Arthur everytime. Add to that repetitive, driving music that is basically Violin + [heavy breathing] and there's your movie.

>>82905546
Why can't they make a "straight" adaptation of the Arthur story without trying to remix it?

Just do Excalibur again

Is this the year the 'cinematic universe' meme dies?
>King Arthur universe: dead
>Universal Monsterverse: kicking off with a film written and directed by Alex fucking Kurtzman. It's as good as dead.
>DC Universe: Wonder Woman tracking low, Justice League will probably open low too due to the response to BvS and Sui-cy Squaa
Let them die!!!

>>82905327
It's not even medieval. It's set in Londinium, but apart from the name it might as well be Middle Earth or Fantasia.

Charlie Hunnam looks like the bully who beats up losers who go to the movies by themselves.

>>82905191
Universal and Fast and Furious say hi, anon.

>>82905605
Or four movies out of The Once and Future King.

good flick. but poorly advertised

>>82905739
This would honestly be amazing. It would be like the Harry Potter films in that it would start off more childish and then "mature" by the time of the last film.

>>82905546
Wasn't Mordred originally evil? in conspiracy with Morgana or some shit?

>>82905739
OaFK can't be adapted to big screen because it'll have no audience. There are no big explosions and fights and plot twists.

>>82905904
Mordred was Arthur's incestuous son from Morgana.
They kill each other on the final battlefield. Mordred even does that "evil guy impaled on a spear but pulls himself closer thing" to kill Arthur

>start stuffing niggers into historical societies where they weren't present
>start giving women feminist roles in historical societies where they were only bedroom slaves

>surprised your movie flops

Hmmmmmmm

>>82905998
>Mordred was Arthur's incestuous son from Morgana.

hol up hol up what?

How was Morgana related to Arthur?

>>82905904
In this film, Mordred is an old, bald man with vulture-like features wearing a ridculous antler crown and warging into Giga-Olifants when Arthur is still an infant. He has no dialogue and is defeated by Uther Pendragon and his magic sword Excalibur during the prologue.

>>82906160
no

>>82906058
Neither Digimon Honshu as Sir Bedivere nor the composite character of Nimue/Guinevere have anything to do with the movie flopping. Hell, Guinevere has maybe 10 minutes of screentime and no overtly feminist dialogue. It's just ridiculous. There's Shaolin monks training Arthur and their leader, looking like a completely stereotype, is called Kung Fu George.

>>82905700

In some versions she's the mother, in others it's Queen Morgause and Morgana is just a powerful fairy (LeFay, geddit?).

You joke, but I would unironically watch the shit out of movies about the old Greek heroes/demigods. Theseus, Perseus, Herarcles, Orpheus, etc. If they were well made they'd be lots of fun, and the Clash of the Titans remake shows that they could probably be successful at the box office.

You could even top it all off by having an Argonauts movie that brings them all together. And then a little later, in a separate thing, we could FINALLY get a movie of the Iliad.

>>82906918
They actually hinted at a prequel during the movie.
When they're trying to kill Vortigern by sniping him with an arrow, Digimon tells Arthur that CIA shares a past with Lord Mercia, Vortigern's right hand man, whom he then kills instead when Vortigern will not show up.

Apparently there's not much market for either, which sucks.

not disney directly, but WB fucking up and kicking alan horn out to early retirement for no reason.

There is a reason why Disney hired him IMMEDIATELY after WB let him go, they were probably laughing their asses off when they saw he was available in 2011 and look at them now. He's a fucking Hollywood legend

under horn WB was #1 in hollywood for 3 years in a row in his last 3 years. he's responsible for

the perfect storm
300
the departed
happy feet
ocean's trilogy
sherlock holmes
batman begins trilogy
inception
million dollar baby
hangover trilogy
harry fucking potter
gran torino

all smash hits

what has WB done since? they can't even get DC right, and that should be easy as fuck

This is why you don't fuck with what Excalibur already did with absolute perfection.

Why king arthur? Isnt it a BIT overdone?
Fucking marketers.

>>82905007
They dun goofed when they traded Vinnie Jones for Beckhammies.

Thats in the movie Excalibur, in the olser tales he's Arthur's nephew and steals the crown while Arthur is awaybat war. Also Morgana isnt evil, is mainly just a thirsty witch, she is also one of the women to take arthur to his resting place.
