King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
The young Arthur runs the back passages of Londinium with his crew, not knowing his royal lineage until he draws the sword Excalibur from the stone. Instantly confronted by the sword's influence, Arthur is forced to decide where to become involved with his power. Throwing in with the Resistance and an enigmatic young woman named Guinevere, he must learn to master the sword, face down his demons and unite the people to defeat the tyrant Vortigern – who murdered his parents and stole his crown – and become king.
Critic Reviews:
- “An action fantasy that is as substantial as popcorn and about as easy to swallow.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia)
- “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is exactly what you'd expect from Guy Ritchie: a frenetically paced affair peppered with humour and plenty of laddish behaviour.” – Film Inquiry
- “King Arthur is far from perfect but if you are happy to just go along for the ride it's certainly entertaining enough.” – Daily Express (UK)
