Customer Reviews

they just don't know how to make a good history flic these days
WoW, what a thoroughly awfull film. Historically inaccurate, badly acted, terrible script and a very cheap rip of of the clive owen "king arthur" movie.

I would quite happily give away my copy to anyone sad enough to want it.

If you are looking for something that can equal kingdom of heaven, gladiator, braveheart or king arthur, keep looking, this is certainly not the movie you're looking for.

What a HUGE disappointment
Having read the original book - elements from which were almost certainly 'borrowed' for 'King Arthur' - I was disappointed to have missed what seemed to be a ridicously short run at the cinema. Having now seen the film on DVD, I can see why that run was so short. It's truly awful. Ben Kingsley is hams it up so badly you'd think he was in panto and Colin Firth is so wooden if the film had been any longer he'd have needed a coat of Ronseal. If you want to spend your money then buy the book instead. This was an opportunity missed to make a really entertaining film and is a HUGE disappointment.

Could have been much better
I had read the book and was looking forward to this movie. I began to get worried when it said 'loosely based on the book.....', and boy was that an understatement! The film itself was OK, but I have no idea what was wrong with the book, I personally think that would have made a much better movie!
