A modern retelling of the legendary knight Arthur. His uncle Vortigern (Jude Law) plots to take the throne from Arthur's father, King Uther (Eric Bana). The boy grew up in a Londinium brothel and forced to fend for himself. Growing up, he learns to survive in the streets, training in martial arts, making friends with thugs and the likes. Alas came a time when the sword needed to be pulled off from the rock, and Arthur finds himself lining up to take a shot.
This is basically the plot of the new King Arthur film. Director Guy Ritchie makes use of his fast-edit shots with lots of flashbacks and hardcore action. When Arthur finally pulls out the sword, he magically turns into a superhero-like warrior.
If you're looking for an accurate version of the classic knight's tale, this is not for you. But if you'll just go into the cinema for some fun, you'll find plenty of that and some more. There are flying animals & huge monsters in the battle scenes. Lots of spectacular visuals that usually come from big-budget films. It's like a cross between The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.
Charlie Hunnam's got the look and physicality of a swashbuckling hero. And this film puts him up for more leading man roles in the future. From the Director of "Snatch", The Man from UNCLE", and the 2 "Sherlock Holmes" movies - Guy Ritchie. Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures.
