  Review by Jacob Martin (formally known as The Movie King) ★★★★★ 21

  I will never understand the mentality of modern filmgoers. They'll say they want something original and different, but when an original and different film comes out, they'll complain that it is weird, silly, and bonkers, even though the sequel or remake they just watched has the same elements and the love the living crap out of it (like Guardians 2, for instance).

  That's why I'm bummed that films like King Arthur: Legend of the Sword flopped, because in my eyes, it's a visually creative, utterly bonkers, stylishly filmed fantasy film that I hope becomes a cult classic at least.

  Directed by Guy Ritchie (a director I'm mixed towards because of how up-and-down the two Sherlock Holmes films were), King Arthur…

  Review by davidehrlich ★★ 7

  Part “Game of Thrones,” part “Snatch,” and almost all bad, Guy Ritchie’s “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” is one of those generic blockbusters that has nothing to say and no idea how to say it. It’s not the worst film of 2017 — after all, Jude Law plays an evil wizard who sacrifices his wife to a three-headed sex kraken in the first 10 minutes — but it might just be the most unnecessary.

  Things start intriguingly enough, as Ritchie opens with a prologue that promises to push this very familiar epic even further towards hard fantasy than any of its previous tellings — such is the dark magic of CGI. Launching us into a medieval world of men…

  Review by Tasha Robinson ★★ 4

  If you had a really bad migraine during Return Of The King and passed out, and then went home and watched 10 random minutes of Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, this is EXACTLY what it would look like. Okay, it would help if you were a little bit high, and you were watching Lock, Stock in your man-cave filled with furs draped over leather couches, and plastered in Frank Frazetta paintings, while the scent of Axe Body Spray hangs heavy in the air. Who did your decor, bro?

  Full (and less Axe-inflected) review for The Verge here.

  Review by sophie ½ 4

  this is probably worth more than half a star, but I can’t watch it without thinking of when me and my friends first saw this. the screen goes black for a few seconds at the beginning, and my friend leans over and whispers “the end” which wasn’t even that funny, but I couldn’t stop laughing for some reason. long story short, we had a great time but the other people in the theatre did not like us. not one bit.

  Review by Logan Kenny ★★★★★ 19

  ritchie's chopped and screwed approach to mythology, formalism and even time is endlessly fascinating, he's interested in conveying humanity through blunt, aggressive, hazy filmmaking. his cuts are quick, his camera erratic and the images are frantic. nothing here is present in any form of reality that's easily indentifable to us, the audience, life may move fast for us it seems but not like this, not at this pace with this energy. bodies just don't move like this in the real world. this is a cinematic adrenaline shot, an intoxicating thrill ride that even when the bones aren't breaking and the blood isn't being shed, things don't halt. that's ritchie's set up, and for a lot of the film, it is…

  Review by christian d ★ 2

  This thing fucking draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaags. It's only 2 hours long but it feels like 3. You can definitely feel the Guy Ritchie-ness in this, some of his style works for the material, but it mostly all falls flat. I haven't really been turned off by a movie in a while, but I just didn't vibe with this. A big-budget projectile vomit, it's some really incomprehensible shit.

  Also, random David Beckham cameo? Guy Ritchie, we get it. You have cool friends.

  Some people have the audacity to compare this to Zack Snyder's work.

  SHAME ON YOU!
