King Arthur the legend of the sword:
Before it was slaughtered by the critics', this was supposed to be an origin story for our hero Arthur portrayed brilliantly by Charlie Hunnam and is directed by the Sherlock Holmes Director Guy Richie.
Richie tries his best to tell the story which has been told by several others before him in a new and interesting way. To his credit, he even achieves that to some extent.
The movie tells the story of Arthur son of Uther, who is raised in a brothel and has grown up to be a thug of some sorts. Later on, he discovers he is the true king. A reality which he is not willing to admit. The movie feels unusually grounded, even though it is filled with mages and giant Elephant and an Octopus lady. Guy Richie gives the viewer reason to care for our protagonist and even creates a good antagonist in Jude Law. Jude Law plays the uncle of Arthur and the killer of his father. The build-up to the big fight is gripping and the supporting cast is stellar. It felt good to finally see Little Finger aka Adrian to play a positive character. The story makes sure to show us that even though the characters are unearthly powerful, they are also breakable, we see them make sacrifices. Like Jude Law had to kill his wife and daughter to attain his godly power. The movie even makes Excalibur interesting!
Richie uses his tried and tested flair to make the movie look good. And look good it does. However, the CGI could have been a little better considering the magnitude of the movie.
Overall, the movie is a pure entertainer and is significantly better than what the reviews stated it to be!
