Guy Ritchie's 2017 "King Arthur" movie thread

[CarbonBraddock]

could have been much better in the hands of a real director.
-main character cannot carry a movie
-main character had no substance, nothing to him and he is just supposed to be king
-need to get these colored folks out of this type of film. i mean the black dude i can maybe understand, but there shouldn't be some fukking asian guy in a movie about ancient england. it might've worked had it been like a joke but they played the shyt straight
-in the scene where he goes apeshyt in the courtyard, one of the fighter dudes does a fukking armbar on some guy, so lame and out of place
-director keeps using the stupid-ass quick-edit montage shyt, which is lame as fukk
-why did they need the sword to begin with? arthur only killed like fifteen dudes and the other goons put in the major work. arthur did kill his uncle after he for some reason transformed into a dbz character, but dude wasn't invincible like that so excalibur wasn't needed for that.

all in all, this movie had a few or a couple good things, but the shyt was too goddamn long and just did not work as anything i could take seriously. don't know why i even wasted time typing all that shyt

Movie was better then gotg2

Thats not a very high bar to measure up to.

 

[NvrCMyNut]

Guy Ritchie always been trash limey wannabe Tarantino

 

[Dirty D]

Some stuff didn't work but I was entertained. Jude Law was awesome.

They should have got Peter Jackson for this.

Using modern lingo in old epics just comes off as pretentious and weird. Its like saying "bruv" in an old western, just doesn't work.

It just felt like too much of a brofest, I enjoy Ritchie's work, but its too steeped with English tones. And that would work, for something like Rock n Rolla, or Snatch, but for King Arthur? No, it just falls on its face. And I get it, Guy tried to bring us an adaptation ala 1996's Romeo and Juliet, but if you're going to try to add your spin to a classic, do so in spades, not just in quick flashes.

This is why Baz Luhrmann(Moulin Rouge, Great Gatsby)is the king of adaptations, he doesn't just add a few "modern" lines of current patois, all his characters are devoid of current affectations when it comes to line delivery. So while Leo may be wearing a tropical shirt in Romeo and Juliet, he's talking to Mercutio about dueling a man he's never met before but considers his "kin". That's how you showcase modernism in an adaptation.

This Arthur was far too grunge, using lingo that was flat and ill timed. And I'm not getting into the horrible use of cg and badly shot action scenes.

movie smells like shyt

 

[Ziggiy]

You don't announce a goddamn "Universe" before the main movie even drops. Both this film and the Mummy made that mistake.

 

[peppe]

watched the movie and it was

I found it really good and thought Charlie Hunnam did a good job

The scene Now tell me a story about a girl called lucy was

can't believe it flopped so hard

edit: if we would have gotten statham it would have been

 

[morris]

Movie was dope. Surprised it bombed so hard

 

[Mic-Nificent]

I saw a lot of stuff in this movie that COULD have been good, but the editing was so fukking terrible, it felt like the longest episode of robot chicken ever made. Then you had the CGI fight scenes that were gawd awful and unnecessary.

 

[Dre Space Age]

I love this movie!!!

 

[Dre Space Age]

The soundtrack is dope i need to download that shyt

 

[Mowgli]

Cacs need some new fictional heroes jesus
