It's got a round table, some knights, and a noble warrior who rises to become King Arthur, but everything else about this revisionist legend is pure Hollywood. That's not such a bad thing if you enjoyed Rob Roy, Braveheart, Gladiator, and Troy, and there's some intriguing potential in presenting the "real" Arthur (played by Clive Owen) as a 5th-century soldier of Rome, assigned to defend Roman-imperial England against a hoard of invading Saxons (led by Stellan Skarsgård in hairy villain mode). As revamped history and "archaeological findings" would have us believe, Guinevere (Keira Knightley) is a warrior babe in face-paint and Lancelot (Ioan Gruffudd) is a nonentity who fades into the woodwork. Never mind! Best to enjoy the harsh, gloomy atmosphere of Irish locations, the ruggedness of Owen and his hearty supporting cast, and the entertaining nonsense of a Jerry Bruckheimer production that strips battle-ready Guinevere down to leather-strap S&M gear while all the men sport full-body armor. Hail to the queen, indeed! --Jeff Shannon

 king arthur March 11, 2010

I really like this movie. it's not my favorite but it's at the top 10 of my favorite movie list. if you're into movies that have lot of sword-fighting or movies that are in medieval times, I would recommend you watch, rent, or buy this movie. the only problem with it is that keira wasn't in it any sooner than what she was. I like watching movies, like this, with warrior women in it, unless they look like xena because I think she's butch.

I don't care if it's accurate or not to its history, this movie is packed with awesome battle sequences to crave that thirst for blood gushing and sword fighting.
If you're a big fan of medieval fights and time like myself then you should definitely get this DVD. It may not be smart but it has tons of action that will leave you satisfy in the end. If you're expecting a more serious film that speaks of King Arthur and his truthful times past than I suggest you to elect another movie that its purpose is to educate you of this character.
Beware though; make sure you get the director's cut edition instead of the PG-13 one. I saw the latter in the movies and even though I wasn't discontent I wished there could have been more battle scenes and even bloodier. This version is the one you should own.

A much more believable tale then the ones proposed and embellished throughout my life experience...
The acting is well done, the cinematography excellent. The story line believable not a fairy tale. The main character Arthur is just such. A Main character with values and beliefs truly worthy of future tales to be embellished to the heights of our present day round table experiences.
Blu-ray is differently the way to enjoy an in home movie experience, well at least until the "Avatar" experience is common place.

I really love this movie, so it was good to view it again to use in my Senior English class as a more historical view of Arthur that Malory's Morte d'Arthur. I also like the behind the scenes extras and interviews. Very enlightening.

This movie combines action, a plot that is not hard to follow, awesome photography and acting by the featured actors. This movie is a great fit with the blu-ray format.
