I loved it, very good cinematography, amazing cast that excels in character, great writing and very nice locations. Great classic story and this iteration is most entertaining. Clive and Keira brings a ton of capable talent with them, very enjoyable to watch, notwithstanding the overall consensus here, that does not make any sense. Each to their own I guess, different strokes for different blokes. Watch it and decide then ...

This is one of my all time favorite movies! The cast, the scenes, the story, everything was epic. Rotten tomatoes and anyone saying otherwise is nuts and have horrible taste. This is one of the greats.

Amazing cast, great cinematography. This is a fantastic movie, and also very fun. I quote it with my dad all the time, since I was 10. Watch this movie and enjoy it.

Ver good. Worth seeing.

They had good intentions... An attempt to demystify the legend and present a different version of what we've seen before of this tale, but it wasn't well executed

Oh dear. Given the amount of ‘Arthurian' competition there is, you'd think a director wanting to make his mark would be careful about the casting and script - unfortunately, this one is so bad in both aspects it's laughable. The acting is tragically dreadful. The saving grace, if there is one, is that the storyline is interesting and the production quality good too. But that doesn't make this even averagely watchable.

I had a lot of fun with 'King Arthur'! It has all of the ingredients of an entertaining film for me. I'm a sucker for a great score and this 2004 flick has just that, from the very first scene in fact - great way to open the movie! Absolutely no surprise whatsoever to see that Hans Zimmer was on music for this - legend! There are also a number of actors that I like from other productions. Keira Knightley is the standout in my opinion, followed by Ioan Gruffudd - who has a great voice for narration, which kept bringing back fond memories of his showing as Henry Morgan in severely underrated television show 'Forever'. Those two I enjoyed most, though Ray Winstone, Stephen Dillane (if underused) and Stellan Skarsgård (if a tad underwhelming) are positives as well. The one obvious omission from that previous paragraph is Clive Owen, who of course plays the titular character. I'm mixed on his performance. He nailed (most of) the speeches, though I wasn't convinced with his overall acting level. I feel like the filmmakers should've chosen someone more commanding to lead this, Owen is a little bit too meh in my eyes. No idea, nor interest in truth, in how supposedly accurate this is in regards to folklore, but simply judging it as a film I can only say I got what I wanted from it - entertainment. 8/10.

Really liked this, a lot of things you can nit pick, like the teleporting around prior to final battle. But well acted well directed and a fine time .

just look at hugh dancy and don't think too much about the plot

So much better than the critics ratings. One of the better Arthur and historical movies.

One of my favourite movies, it has everything from great action scenes to superb acting and an amazing Hans Zimmer track to accompany it. What more could you want?!!

This movie depicts a realistic version of King Arthur and aligns with many facts we know are true. Almost all Arthur tales have fantasy added to them and it ends up being an attempt to augment history to keep somebody awake. So glad they didn't go with the typical love affair story that was obviously made up along with all the other fantasy tales about Arthur. Content was engaging. Kept interest. Is very rewatchable. Worth cost.

I have watched this movie several times over the years and I never get tired of it. A very emotional and interesting film

It's a solid film. Good action, great setting. Not particularly woke. I don't know if I would necessarily watch it over and over like some films, but it was definitely worth my time.

Definitely one of the movies critics got wrong. Ebert & Roeper gave it two thumbs up. So they at least saw the good movie that I saw.

If I was to make a top 5 movie list of all time, this movie would be in it. Why? I have no clue! Losely based on historical "facts" that can't be proven, a story with holes all over and moments of dialogue that would define the word cringe. Yet I love this movie dearly and watch it atleast once a year. The casting for me is spot on and even though you do not get much backstory for any one of them, every knight is defined enough to care about. Clive Owen is the definition of king Arthur so much so that I could not see anyone portray this iconic character better. True, he is portrayed as the perfect knight/king, but isn't that the point of myths and legends? To give us perfect examples of what we could be and should strive to be? That must be what draws me to this movie the most, the bigger then life characters, the brotherhood they share and even when they don't share the same outlook on life or even share the same values they would die for one an other. So in a way, this is the perfect flawed movie (and the score by Hans Zimmer ... perfect).

I'm guessing that the only reason this didn't get a higher overall rating is that it doesn't comply to the fantasy and more to traditional source material in which Arthur was seen as a 5th-6th century combatant of the Saxon hordes. Overall, the film was well-acted and an interesting interpretation, full of action and beautiful countryside. What's not to like.

Lazily reviewed by far too many critics who appeared to want another gloss covered Gladiator rendition of historic mythology. While the film has its flaws, it also contains solid performances by an excellent ensemble and has a good heart at the center of it. An interesting alternative tale of the Arthurian legend. Worth a look.

I think this is one of the better adaptations of this legend. I love the inclusion of some lesser known knights. Madds is bad ass as Tristen!!

I don't get why people hate this movie so much. it contains a fantastic cast, an excellent score by Hans Zimmer and a pretty good final battle.
