King Arthur

>>83209725
Its terrible, just go watch Excalibur.

>>83209725
I'd say yes.
It's not for everyone, especially capeshit loving normies.
This movie is pretty unique in the way the story is told; lots of montages with an amazing soundtrack that gives the movie a weird but not bad pace.
Add to that great visuals, an excellent Jude law, a chinese Knight named Kung-Fu George.
Sure the story is nonsensical at times, aggravated by the very clear and visible cuts made by the studio/distributor, but the movie retains its charm.
Special mention for David Beckham's cameo, which is so bad it's good, and Bill "CIA" Goosefat's bad acting.

I completely agree. This movie's like some kind of throwback to 80s action/fantasy. It's not accurate, it's not faithful to the lore, and it's not trying to be. It brazenly gives no fucks while it tells its own story and it's awesome because of it.

>>83209725
This movie would have succeeded in the 90s, it's a fun action packed flick with a linear simple plot and cool fights. Not so great CGI though

It was awful.

And the chinese/black/arab britons were ridiculous.

yeah it was great, don't listen to /pol/ they just get insanely mad whenever they see black people

>>83209725
Literally gray filter the film, watch it if you like DC capeshit

>>83209725
it's pretty good, Guy Ritchie does fantasy done p good

It's possible people just didnt want to see Arthur ruined by sjw policies and took the wewuz as a red flag.

But im suuuure it was just all those scary boogeymen who ruined your girlbusters shit

>>83212851
The way critics shit all over it sure didn't help. I swear to God, if Boorman released Excalibur today, they'd shit all over it, too.

>>83209725

It's very, very bad.

Ritchie's ADD style is just incomprehensible and hideous. The acting from all concerned is terrible, the story is needlessly obtuse, there are stray sequences here and there that are good but it's honestly just a gigantic, loud mess.

>>83212959

Do not compare Guy fucking Ritchie to Boorman you tasteless pleb. Ritchie is one of the biggest hacks in Hollywood, he caters exclusively to the mentality of teenage boys.

Reminder that they planned a 7 movie series out of this and Guy Wretchie's incompetence cost 800 people 15 years of income each.

I'm not, dumbass. I'm saying that modern critics shit on anything that doesn't adhere to their preconceptions. By that metric, Excalibur would get shit on, too. Care to see some of the idiotic criticisms we'd get from them if it didn't have thirty years worth of good will and analysis by *good* critics to vouch for it?

>incessantly dark and grim
>fog! So much fog!
>ohhhh! Look at the green glow! Green: the motion picture
>why is God pretending to be King Arthur when he talks to Percival?
>if Percival is talking to King Arthur at the Grail castle, why doesn't Arthur already know where it is? Why doesn't he already have it? Is he just tucking with them?
>If "the land and the King are one," why does Excalibur get shoved through Merlin instead of Arthur when he sticks it up in the ground between Lancelot and Guinevere? It makes no fucking sense!
>It's just a loud, confusing mess set to "epic" music.
>"I will build a . . . ROUND TABLE!" - fucking lol.

Go ahead and tell me that wouldn't be these dumbasses' reactions. I fucking dare you.

Yea it was a good movie

Bana's Uther was GOAT.

>>83214080
id watch him and merlin fuck shit up in a movie

>>83213602
You're weird.

>>83214149
It's kind of breaking my heart that it's doing so poorly so far. I liked Ritchie's take on the Arthur legend. I liked the world they set up, too.

>>83209725
liked it way more than GotG
huge failure in the studio making it appealing to audiences

>>83213886
I've never seen such a based character

>>83214322
You're not alone. I left GotG2 feeling sort of cheated. I left this one hype as fuck.

>>83213602
"Why is King Arthur such a fucking cuck?"

planning on seeing it again this sunday

>>83214612
Thank you.This guy gets it.

>>83214710
I've seen it twice, too. Saw it once on it first weekend, then took some buddies back to see it last Sunday. They were shocked at how much they enjoyed it. It was like seeing people wake up from a trance.

Is not worth even to download it for free.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Besides there's substance,

So Vortigern was purging the mages, right?

>>83215177
uh yeah, so he could be the only one and rule

All this movie said to me is "This is the Witcher". It's perfect. Charlie Hunham is absolutely born to play a young geralt. His ferocity, aggressiveness, athleticism and no care lady killer attitude is perfect. I hope guy Ritchie with a better writer can adapt a Witcher movie one day.

>>83215225
I'm interested in how mages work in their world. I sort of got the impression that it was Potter-esque, sort of a familial thing, like Vortigern was full-on mage while Uther and Arthur were sort of "latent" for lack of a better word.

This.

It does not deserve the critical drubbing it's getting. The movie is actually pretty charming. Fuck you all.

>>83209725
I enjoyed it. I am still hoping for a truly epic Arthurian legend film ( Excalibur is good but not epic ), but Guy did alright I thought. Ruined only by his epic bantz sequence that he shoe horns into every fucking film - it was quite jarring.

>>83217375
If enjoying this means I have terrible taste, then I'm just so OK with that.
