5/21/2017 0 Comments King Author: Legend of the swordI just saw this movie two hours ago in the movie theater, and I want to write this review while my emotion is still high. Also I will write a review for Alien: Covenant sometimes soon tomorrow since I did not write a review last week. I missed the opening weekend for this King Arthur movie, and for some reason I can't sleep well because of that. I was deeply attracted by the trailers of this movie, and I think it's gonna be a good one; however when I saw the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, I was shocked, it's only a 27. I then spent an hour to check the ratings on other websites and watched some movie review videos on Youtube, it turns out that the other social media all have a better attitude towards this movie than Rotten Tomatoes. Lucky for me, Rotten Tomatoes is wrong(from my perspective) again this time(I think the last time was "the accountant").
Story wise, it's about how King Arthur become King Arthur. I'm not really familiar with the original King Arthur novel, but from what I saw two hours ago, it's a revenge story, and I dig it a lot. The director is Guy Ritchie, one of my favorite directors in the world. He uses many flashbacks in the story telling this time. Well I'm actually ok with that even though Rotten Tomatoes says that's a no no. I will say that sometimes those flashbacks are a little unnecessary, this movie may have a way better rating if Guy Ritchie didn't show too much of his personal style in the movie. The great King Arthur becomes a street fighter in the beginning of this movie, but he is still full of charm and wildness. I like this character a lot, and I think Charlie Hunnam really did a good job to bring this character back to life. I do have a little basic understanding of the story of King Arthur, so I was also expecting characters like Lancelot and Guinevere, and the round table shows up, and some of them did, but in an unexpected way. Also, there are two(or maybe more) Games of Thrones actors in the movie, which made this movie really "Game of Thrones". The visual effects part really made me so excited in the theatre. Man, it's Guy Ritchie, so there is a tons of slow motion, long shots, match cuts, cool music while people fighting in a cool way. Everything I wanted, this movie has it. Too much CGI also becomes one of the main reasons why this movie has a bad rating, but I don't really care how much CGI is there in the movie as long as it looks cool. The fightings in this one reminds me those unreal fights in the Japanese anime, so either you like it or you don't. I only had one problem with this movie: Jude Law dropped that only one F bomb in the entire movie but I still think that's completely unnecessary. The whole movie is just really entertaining, I don't know why it got such a bad rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I really wish there will be sequels for this movie, but based on it's box office, it's gonna be hard(But this movie is coming to China, and Chinese people loves King Arthur a lot, so there is still hope!). In the end I want to share a movie review channel on Youtube, maybe you've heard it before, it's called Chris Stuckmann. Now I made my decision on whether should I see a movie or not based on both RT and this guy.
