	King Arthur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arthur makes an appearance in a number of well-known Welsh vitae ("Lives") of 6th-century saints: for example, in the Life of Saint Illtud, he is said to be a cousin of that churchman.
		Arthur, who is described as his kinsman, agrees to the request, and fulfils the demands of Olwen's giant father Ysbaddaden, which includes his hunt for the great boar Twrch Trwyth, described at length by the author.
		In almost all accounts Arthur is said to have been mortally wounded, but to have been taken after the battle to Avalon (sometimes identified with Glastonbury in Somerset, England), where his wounds are healed or his body buried in a chapel.

	Slog's Log - King Arthur Movie Review
		Arthur intends to burn Guinevere to death at the stake - as was done to adulterers at the time - but she is saved by Lancelot at the last moment.
		Arthur is the leader of the knights, each having his own special characteristics that make him unique and set him apart from his mates.
		Arthur finds Guinevere in this dungeon (she's supposed to be daughter of Leodegan, the king of Camelide) and he eventually returns her to her barbarian tribe, which is led by Merlin (???).Guinevere eventually arranges a meeting with Merlin and Arthur.

		Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
		In the Dark Ages, Arthur (Clive Owen) is the Roman commander of a band of Sarmatian warriors who, after losing a key battle to the Romans, were forced to join the Empire's Special Forces unit and sent to Britain to defend Roman holdings from the encroaching Saxons and the uprising Britons.
		With the Saxons on their heels, Arthur decides to not just rescue the family but hundreds of slaves at the same time--including Guinevere (Keira Knightley) and her mysterious shaman Merlin (Stephen Dillane), who convince Arthur to join the Britons in their fight against the Saxons instead of going home.

		The King Arthur history is a long and varied one, involving his wife Guinevere, his favorite knight Lancelot, and a series of struggles, victories, and betrayals.
		This replica of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table is magnificent in detail and clarity and is sure to be the centerpiece of hours of conversation.
		The movie, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Films and starring Clive Owen and Keira Knightly, is an exciting depiction of the King Arthur story, including the sword Excalibur and the stories of Queen Guinevere and Sir Lancelot.

	King Arthur Movie Review
		Arthur arrives at the Roman outpost and is disgusted to find Britons working in slavery and torture in the name of Christianity.
		Arthur's internal struggle over his allegiance to Rome is decided by two things - the execution of Christian leader Pelagius as a heretic and Guinevere's appeals to his maternal bloodlines.
		Arthur obtains freedom for his men from the Romans who are abandoning Britain as an indefensible outpost, then confounds them all by deciding to stay at Hadrian's Wall to battle the Saxons alongside the Woads.

	KING ARTHUR Movie Review
		Arthur sees his duty is to free them from their servitude to Rome so they may return to their ancestral homeland in Sarmatia.
		Arthur and his Knights set off on one final mission before they are to be granted freedom, something they all desperately desire.
		This meeting on the ice is perhaps one of the better sequences in the movie, and proves that you don’t have to have a vast army to win a battle.

	King Arthur Movie Review
		King Arthur is the second teaming of super producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Antoine Fuqua (the twosome last collaborated on Training Day), and probably the best compliment I can pay the film is that it isn't the fluffy, disposable actioneer the trailer suggests.
		This King Arthur tale took me a little off guard as it trades in the magic and rather dark fantasy elements of John Boorman's outstanding Excalibur, for a more gritty and humanized take on the famed story, bringing to mind films like Braveheart and Gladiator.
		Arthur is a torn, tortured soul who is constantly conflicted between duty and conscience.

	King Arthur - the movie
		There is no historical key that reduces the legends of Arthur and his court, which accumulated in the middle ages not just in Geoffrey's chronicle and the Welsh Mabinogion but in the French romance cycle and the German epics of Parzival and Tristan, to flat, sombre fact.
		Arthur, in the version that has been best known for centuries with its romantic picture of Camelot, its honourable knights who fight tournaments and go in search of adventure, and the tragic death of Arthur in his last battle with his incestuous son, Mordred, is a sad, subtle, poetic legend, full of emotional nuance.
		Arthur and Mordred meet for a desperate parlay, after warning their armies to attack at the least sign of a sword being drawn.

	King Arthur movie review - AGGRESSIVE-VOICE.COM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Antoine Fuqua’s “King Arthur” is in many ways similar to this summer’s most disappointing movie, “Troy,” in that both films get bogged down by messy action scenes, contrived character conflicts, and the burden of faithfully retelling a famous tale.
		We first meet Guinevere well into the second half of the film when Arthur arrives to liberate her and other oppressed Woads held captive by the Roman family they are supposed to protect.
		Most war movies don’t allow us to spend a good deal of time with the enemy, but before we can become too attached to the nomadic long-haired tribe, David Franzoni’s story has them burning every village they invade to the point where we just wait for their inevitable slaughter at the final showdown.

	King Arthur: Movie-Source.com King Arthur Movie, King Arthur Preview, King Arthur Review
		Unfortunately for Arthur, the movie has decidedly been set in the 5th century AD, which means that the Roman Empire is on its last breath and that they are pulling out of Britain.
		What was most frustrating about this movie is that the creators of this movie go to such lengths to try to trick us into thinking that what we are watching is a true story, while we all know that there is very little water under the bridge.
		I have no problem seeing Guinevere (the movie never explains whether she is a princess or any kind of royalty) shooting a bow and arrow, but when she dons her absolutely dreadful war gear and starts killing men by the dozens with a sword, I had to scoff.

	King Arthur (2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table have their last mission before achieving their freedom.
		"King Arthur" is an original and very different approach of the Legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
		Unfortunately, the powerful role of King Arthur deserved a better actor: Clive Owen works well in the action scenes, but in the dramatic and romantic parts of the story he is simply awful.

	King Arthur Movie Review
		Folklore experts, interpreters and analysts as well as Arthur enthusiasts all have their theories to the origins of this epic king who drove back the Saxons during the dawn of Britain.
		I love the whole Arthur myth and its epic scale of story-telling which in a lot of ways bugged me when I watched this new version but when I was able to separate the two as different entities I began to see what the filmmakers were trying to make.
		Arthur’s supporting knights including Hugh Dancy of "Ella Enchanted" and Ray Winstone of "Cold Mountain" who each have their own moments in the film.

	King Arthur - Movie Review - Stylus Magazine
		Arthur, you see, was actually a great Roman commander who, along with his ever-loyal knights, kept Britain tamed on behalf of the empire.
		When victory has finally been secured at the end of the film, Arthur makes an emotional speech to the cheering Britons about how they “were born free men,” while donning his crown to become king, an irony so blatantly missed by the filmmakers that I nearly coughed up my popcorn in a fit of hysterics.
		Thus, with no real background on either Arthur’s story or the historical situation, we are told we must care about Arthur’s sudden realization that his people are getting screwed and that only he can do something about it.

	KING ARTHUR Movie Synopsis
		For centuries most historians believed that King Arthur was only a legend, but that legend was based on a real hero whose actions changed the face of Britain and the world forever.
		Here, Arthur, Lancelot (Ioan Gruffudd), Galahad (Hugh Dancy), Bors (Ray Winstone), Tristan, Dagonet and Gawain are forced to confront their traditional enemy: Merlin and his indigenous guerilla armies.
		Disdainfully called 'Woads' by the Knights for the Woad plant they use to dye their bodies, Arthur and his Knights will see these guerillas are the soul of Britain, devastated by generations of Roman rule.

		April 24th, 2004 01:47 PM I hear there are two versions of the tale coming out soon; one a re-telling of the legend and one a thoroughly researched account of the actual events that inspired it.
		Arthur is a roman scion who stays behind when the empire withdraws, and builds his realm with Merlin's help.
		The legend of arthur I think should be treated like all legends - it should be made relevant to the era we live in.

	King Arthur Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		In this purportedly "fact-based" depiction of King Arthur set in Britain, circa 450 A.D., the once and future king (Clive Owen) is a knight of the Roman Empire, along with the noble Lancelot (Ioan Gruffud) and Galahad (Hugh Dancy).
		No longer able to control the tribes of Britain, the Roman Empire is pulling its forces from the embattled island, even as the vicious Saxons led by Cedric (Stellan Skarsgard) invade from the North.
		Yet as Arthur forges ahead, he comes to realize that his true allegiance is to Britain, rather than Rome.

		Arthur was not a figure of the middle ages, he was not an Anglo-Saxon and there was no magical sword in the stone.
		Arthur himself is a half Briton, half Roman who takes command of a group of Samatian (sp?) cavalrymen guarding Hadrians Wall (historical evidence also points to this being an accurate account).
		The hero is struggling with the usual fantasy choice between loyalty to a country and loyalty to his inner sense of what is right, discovering along the way that the country he serves is not what he thought and the "savages" he's been fighting so long are more noble than some of his own people.

	Clive Owen -- King Arthur
		He's a commander of a crack team of military knights who, at the beginning of the movie, gets the mission from hell – to go into dangerous, unknown territory and rescue a family as the Saxons are invading by the thousands, and the rebels are out there fighting.
		Also in the Guardian: Death of a legend -- Strip the tale of King Arthur of its chivalry and sorcery and what is left is nothing sort of a national insult.
		Film Critic.com: "...Clive Owen’s (Croupier) Arthur is neither as steely as Russell Crowe’s Maximus nor as bombastic as Mel Gibson’s William Wallace, but he carries the weight of a man who perseveres even as his world crumbles around him.

		An engrossing, highly intelligent reimagining of the legend of Arthur.
		Hollywood has refined and redefined the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table so many times over the generations that one would imagine this war horse craves retirement from the world of remakes.
		Like "Spider-Man 2," this is a smart action movie, allowing its impressive sets, costumes, effects and battles to serve as handmaidens to story and character.

	King Arthur (Movie)
		Arthur, it seems, was actually Lucius Artorius Castus, and he lived much earlier than we thought—in the Dark Ages.
		In this revisionist version, Arthur (Clive Owen) is a reluctant Roman leader who takes his Knights of the Round Table—the usual suspects—on one last mission in Britain, to defend against the invading Saxons, led by Cerdic (Stellan Skarsgård), who looks like a yeti and speaks like one, too.
		(You can always tell in a movie when something weighty is being intoned—no contractions.) Arthur is fond of saying things like “My faith is what protects me,” but it’s clear that the Round Table squadron—modeled rather too closely on the Wild Bunch—has a big hand in guarding his flank.
