King Arthur (2004)

 King Arthur
This is the best historical recreation of the Arthurian legend. A gorgeous period piece. Well written and acted. I thought the Guenevere character was a refreshing change from the usual "original sin girl" portrayal. Highly recommended. May 5, 2008

 King Arthur
More fact than fiction this version follows recent discoveries of a leader of the Roman calvary that fought for the Britains. Even though it isn't fantasy it is not hard to see how Arthurian legend came about. This is not for the feint of heart since the battles are depicted like they were likely to have been fought, vicious and bloody. Good cast, directing, effects, and music make this at least worth a rental for most fans of war movies. The central story revolves around Arturius, half Roman and half Britain, and his knights that guarded the Hadrian Wall. The knights were actually Sumation decendants that were exceptional calvary warriors that were drafted by Rome to serve fifteen years. When the Saxon army invades they have a hard choice as to whether stay and fight or return to their homeland. Merlin is a Britain and the father of Guinevere a warrior in her own right. Merlin's magic is smoke and something equivalent to Greek fire. Not a family movie, but certainly engaging for those that like chivalry and long epic battles. It may seem a bit long to those that aren't into war movies. Fans of "Braveheart" or "Troy" will probably enjoy it. Good quaility DVD with decent replayability. April 5, 2008

 Exciting movie
I watched this in the theaters with my cousins and decided to buy it because of the enchanting song midway through the movie. It is an action-packed movie that has good acting, story, and cinematography. Overall an enjoyable film. Clive Owen is a great actor. The song I'm referring to is called, 'We will go home.'

 A great adaptation on the story of King Arthur
I never write reviews when there have been so many posted before me. However, for this movie, I will make an exception. I put aside what I know of the tale of King Arthur and his knights of the round table and simply watched this story unfold. The action scenes were wonderful (not too gory) and the relationship between the characters were believable with chemistry. I laughed, I cried, and I was riveted to the screen for 2+ hours. I have no idea if the story is based in truth or fiction - it was never my concern. I watched this movie to be pulled into another world for a brief period of time - mission accomplished.
