The action is pretty good, and Jude Law is a hoot playing such a detestable slug of a human being.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 22, 2022

Though no viewer should enter a Ritchie film expecting traditions to be upheld, the director's usual way of shaping a story does Arthurian legend a disservice.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2022

A good production with some eccentric style, but a mostly bland and unfocused fairy tale reappropriation.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 29, 2021

Ritchie is retelling an iconic piece of British literature in his own dizzyingly charged-up style, using all that excess energy to shake the source material off its foundations.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 3, 2021

To borrow from a far superior film about this king -- 1975's Monty Python and the Holy Grail, of course -- it would be easier to cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring than to willingly watch another entry in this errant enterprise.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 17, 2021

This is a fun and excellently camp fantasy carry-on, given added flash thanks to the stunning scenery of Wales's Snowdonia and the Scottish highlands. There's also plenty of computer wizardry...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 9, 2021

The characters are generic and unsympathetic; the antagonists are evil solely because they're supposed to be; and random superpowers spoil the fun of hand-to-hand combat.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 5, 2020

My vote? Boring.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 13, 2020

This is one of the duller and uglier blockbusters in recent Hollywood summer fare. Put that sword back where you found it Arthur, it's a bit blunt.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 30, 2020

It's overly flashy, but by God is it entertaining.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 17, 2020

Whilst Ritchie tries to retell a classic legendary tale in modern cinema graphics, he loses all focus on character development and captivating storytelling.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 7, 2020

It's crazy, but not quite crazy enough. And though there are delirious highs, there are crushing, cringe-inducing lows.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 1, 2020

I enjoyed watching it.

| May 12, 2020

It was a pretty good movie.

If there is a next King Arthur movie, maybe whoever is in charge can scale things back a bit and spend more time compiling a group of interesting characters. What we have here is just so much muck.

| May 7, 2020

The thing is, even in these moments where it looks like Ritchie's sensibilities are emerging from the muck (it's a very muddy movie, visually), it becomes clear how mismatched his style is to this sort of thing.

| Mar 26, 2020

I think the right cast could have risen above all this nonsense. With one exception, everybody does fine with their underwritten roles...

| Feb 19, 2020

King Arthur would've been a mess if its cast hadn't gone all-in with dedicating themselves to their roles...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 24, 2020

After a rocky and confusing first 10 minutes, sit back and enjoy a fresh and enjoyable take on a very tried and true fantasy story that's been told to death.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 10, 2020

While the end result does garner a fair amount of entertainment, it also leads the audience through a muddled, almost non-existent plot, visually dark sequences that cause eyestrain, and more disappointment at the underutilization of star Charlie Hunnam.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2019
