The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

OK, so I have not seen the movie yet. But considering how many bad reviews I have just read, I have definitely got to watch this movie to satisfy my curiosity. I am giving this 10/10 before watching it assuming I will get the pleasure of experiencing the terribleness that has been advertised by other reviews....and I doubt one 10/10 from me is going to skew the true rating much...hahahaha..... OK, so, 30 minutes have gone by and I managed to get this far only because I was also playing (2 simultaneous instances of ) Final Fantasy Brave Exvius on mobile phone.Yup, definitely worth 1 star!

May contain spoilers - although I am unsure this movie can actually be spoiled any more than has been accomplished already by the Director and cast.OK, I am going to admit to having made a huge error.I am currently in Asia, and when I saw this movie advertised at the cinema, for some reason I thought this was the King Arthur movie being made by Guy Ritchie - a schoolboy error i know, but in my desperation to see a good movie I did not hesitate to get a ticket and get in to the cinema.I sat through the movie in disbelief that my hero Mr Ritchie could be involved in anything so abysmal and only after an hour did I break the cardinal rule and get my phone out in the cinema and open my IMDb app and check. The utter relief when I realised my error was noticeable to those sat around me when I let out an audible "Thank God for that".The acting is dreadful, the story is dreadful, the continuity and fight scenes are dreadful. The final scene where Arthur - King of the Britons is crowned and looks majestically at the crowd, scanning from left to right as If upon ten thousand people and when the camera pans back he is stood in front of about 12 people (including his old mates from the tavern) all stood on the edge of a pond (supposedly the abode of the lady of the lake).I knew there was something wrong in the first few minutes when we saw Merlin who had had the costume department go to great lengths to make him the shorter double of Gandalf. I guess there are only so many looks for a wizard.If you like sitting through appalling movies then this is one for you, otherwise avoid like the plague and do not make the same mistake as me. Mr Ritchie, I apologise for not realising in the first 30 seconds this was nothing to do with you!

The worst 2 minutes of my life, as that's how long it took me to skip through this travesty of a film. I can honestly say that you should avoid this trash and watch something much more fulfilling and worth using your remaining lifetime, like anything else ever made...To be honest with you I can't believe I've taken the time out to review this cinematic experience, except to warn others of their impending doom of and wasting their eyesight on it instead of something worthwhile, like complete darkness.

I watched this movie hoping for an imaginative re-working of a legend which enthralled me as a kid . . . but I was appalled at how badly this one was put together. Although the story-line was encouraging, the acting, editing and direction was absolutely abysmal. My wife and I were laughing during the supposedly climactic moments, watching third-rate actors stumble through lines that were truly forgettable, scenes that were embarrassing in their stupidity, and ultimately left us wondering why - Why would anyone allow this movie to be released?
