Blu B It feels like a Sword & Sandel Epic mixed with Lord of the Rings knockoff characters sort of. It just hits all the basic points of a journey and nothing more. You get a sloppy introduction, than it jumps around TERRIBLY setting up multiple storylines before coming back together with the group into the most generic "incredible journey" over mountains for what feels like maybe 2 minute at most. Than you get your last battle because that's when it's supposed to happen and end with terrible CGI showing the changing of the seasons to set up the legend of Arthur for some reason. Acting, editing, and pacing aren't good at all here. Firth and the kid aren't bad but they just get forgotten about for stretches after being setup as the main focus. Than we get the lame invincible girl knight, Gandalf I mean Kingsley, and a couple other generic characters that I felt absolutely nothing when they died because this doesn't have ANY character development outisde of Kingsley, the kid, and Firth. The rest just show up, never see them interact, or know anything about them. I thought there was only 5 but couldn't believe when there was like 7-8 of them. This has a focus issue. Sometimes it's about the kid and his journey, other times the Roman Empire, the other stock generic characters, the lame villian who wears a golden rabbit mask, and it just jumps terribly before settling in the end. The music isn't bad but is overused and just gets generic at certain points despite a strong start. The cinematography is just alright. The direction is uninspired, the battles are just alright honestly, and there isn't any massive scale or scope compared to epics of old or other big fantasy battles from this time. It feels like maybe there was budget constraints and there is production value that shows with good costumes, sets, and on location setups but there's nothing unique about it to set it apart. If you told me this was a battle from Lord of the Rings or Gladiator I'd beleive you honestly. And it just feels like it's on autopilot once all the characters are introduced and stops with the jumpiness. Going through souless motions of a epic adventure by the beats with no heart or doing anything well. It makes sense enough and I can't really point to much that truly Rise of Skywalker level broken about it. But it does nothing to set itself apar and barely checks off the bare minimum to be a functioning adventure/fantasy. Skip This. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Gerald H The only thing that is worse than this movie is the soup of pathetic music that is poured over this movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Katharine M Rai was unbelievable!! Firth never ever disappoints. For a kid, Thomas did well. Kingsley never disappoints either. Story line was great. Loved it beginning to end. Should not have gotten such a low score. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review 8 B Whilst some of the dialogue comes across as a bit stilted and cliché, the characters here are enjoyable if a little dimensionally thin, and the over-arching story tells an interesting version of the pre-arthurian myth. Not a film for serious critique, but a whole heap more entertaining than some of the many Michael Bay explosion-fest movies he's turned out, and Hollywood don't mind throwing millions at him to keep making more! Take your critical brain out, bring the popcorn and enjoy! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review Jean-Michel C It is a miracle that Colin Firth made it to fame despite this movie. It probably helped him forge his own talent for it is clear that he managed to carry the whole movie on his own shoulders. If not a complete failure the film remains a very poor one however, despite Firth's endeavours, by so many aspects that it would take too long to explain why. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Mr-Slayer-Sir Fantastic Story Decent Combat For What It Is. Strong Character Development. A Little Bit of Comedy Also.
