Great Movie, Guy Ritchie keeps it fast paced and great CGI. Ignore the bad reviews given by Roger Ebert and Rotten Tomatoes.

Not sure why they had to have cursing in it. And the fight scenes were sometimes so unclear and blurred and too close too much debris flying to know what was actually happening. I really enjoyed it though. Good movie.

The Lion King set in the Game of Thrones universe, with some very recognizable (and likable) Snatch cuts. Can't wait to see it again!

It gave me a newfound appreciation for the tale of King Arthur and the Sword. Some parts are cringe-y, but the modern twist of the film-style overshadows that mishap. There's a lot of action but not too much morbidity. The action scenes were pretty epic.I like the director's style of work in general - Guy Ritchie directed the Sherlock Holmes movies with Robert Downing Jr. and also the film, Snatch. Something I was not expecting was how many good actors are in this film! I recommend it!

Thought it would have touched a little more on the myth, but still a great movie and an interesting twist on an old tale. If you like action, it's got plenty. Charlie Hunnam makes a great King Arthur!

This King Arthur interpretation is GQ stylish. Guy Ritchie's flair of quick cut exposition without any dialogue is as fluid as ever. Great characters and pacing. The action is well done and the score is AWESOME.

Interesting twist on the original tale, though predictable in its events. Some of the witt reminds me of Princess Bride, which is nice downtime from the high-speed, dizzying violence.

Somehow hectic and lumbering, diverting and dispiriting all at once, this mud-toned medieval pulp largely cleaves to the spirit of Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes” series, reducing a fabled figure of British lore to two hours of tough-guy swagger and head-pounding digital thwackery.

Arthur and Vortigern mix it up amid a lot of shenanigans, detours and filler, some bad, some good and all of it disposable.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword isn't a movie as much as a feature length montage of bastardized lore and rejected Game of Thrones pitches.
