Guy Ritchie's King Arthur

[CochiseCowbell]

It was not bad. But, it could've been better. It was a fresh take on the legend. I either know too much surrounding Arthurian lore or not enough. The cast turned in good performances. But, for a supposed first film of a 6 picture franchise it felt like much was left on the cutting room floor, leaving a lot of questions unanswered.

Maybe I wasn't blown away for I really wanted to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 but my woman hadn't seen the first & she's a huge Charlie H fan from SOA, which I have never seen. Loved him in Green Street Hooligans though.

Went and saw Guardians Friday night. Very different feel from the first. Great music as usual and tons of Easter eggs for comic book fans.

From what I heard, there prolly won't be any more movies stemming from this one because it bombed so bad.

I'm not a comic book guy, and I thought GotG 2 was fantastic. Love the banter between Starlord and Rocket.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Oh I definitely thought it was good just different from the first.

This is the

most racists thing I've ever seen!!!1****

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I didn't like it as much as the first. I needed a bigger villainous role.

Can't wait for infinity wars, get the ultimate villain then.

GOTG2 is funny but that's all it is

I went to see GotG2 tonight, but it was still sold out. So, I saw King Arthur as well. I wasn't expecting much, but I thought it was great. The guy who played Arthur (in too lazy to look it up) was bad ***.

I thought king author was bad *** too. I believe the reason it bombed was more from marketing than the movie itself. I honestly didn't see a lot of advertising from it in my area. We have seen it plenty of times, a bad movie with good marketing will do good at the box office but a great movie with bad marketing will do bad. I liked the mid evil ****.

You will definitely get your villain fix in those movies. Volume 1 is going to hurt folks a lot.

But, like I said, it was good. It had some of the enjoyable Richie tropes he's known for plus more action & magic than his typical film, which of course the legend demanded. I just thought it could've been better. It felt rushed at times & the overall story suffered. However, I'm probably too big of a nerd.

To your marketing point you may be right. How else can you explain the Fast & Furious becoming a franchise of movies? Or Michael Bay films? Everyone claims to hate the guy but his films basically print money. King Arthur was much better than those two examples.

Yep, Transformer movies half the time don't even make sense. It is like Bay writes the script the night before shooting the movie. Fast and Furious is almost as bad.
