Why King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword Has P****d Me Off (And Not For The Reasons You Might Think) – Review

Hello. So let allow me to vent off my initial reactions to the film, or rather the film’s critical reception. Before I start, allow me to simply say that this film is AMAZING. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend it. You can watch the trailer here.

Guy Ritchie has made an entirely new take on the King Arthur Legend, has sprinkled his unique style in the mixture and made what I’d like to call one of my favourite films of the year!!

The opening really sucks you into the lore of the film, with some of the greatest CGI and sound-design combo I’ve seen since Lord Of The Rings, and really gives you that “epic” feel. After the set-up you get a montage intro to Arthur’s character – and if there is one thing we should know Guy Ritchie for, it his his amazing montages. See, people like Jeremy from CinemaSins would have you believe that montages are ‘sloppy exposition’, and sometimes he’s right. But it simply wasn’t the case in King Arthur; and I really have to give the soundtrack credit for this as well. If there is one thing that really stood out in this film, its the soundtrack.
