	King Arthur (2004)
		Jerry Bruckheimer's KING ARTHUR is a shining example of that new breed of mythology adaption.
		It is similar to Wolfgang Petersen's TROY, in that it dispenses with the supernatural splendour and phantasmagorical intrigue characteristic of traditional tales, and presents the story as (relatively) realistic historical fiction, attempting to convey the "magic" of the story through drama, rather than gaudy special effects.
		Despite the lukewarm reception to which it was subjected, KING ARTHUR is a finely crafted and memorable item of film-making.

	IV. Arthur. King Arthur and His Knights. Vol. III: The Age of Chivalry. Bulfinch, Thomas. 1913. Age of Fable
		Arthur was a prince of the tribe of Britons called Silures, whose country was South Wales, the son of Uther, named Pendragon, a title given to an elective sovereign, paramount over the many kings of Britain.
		Arthur and his companions also flew to arms, and Merlin appeared at their head, bearing a standard on which was emblazoned a terrific dragon.

	King Arthur (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		King Arthur is a film first released in the United States on June 28, 2004, dubbed as "The Untold True Story That Inspired The Legend" by Touchstone Pictures.
		In the course of this mission, Arthur encounters and rescues Guinevere (Keira Knightley), a Woadish princess, from the imprisonment and torture of the Roman citizen he is charged with rescuing.
		It would appear that the Arthur depicted in the film is based most closely upon Ambrosius Aurelianus, the Romano-Briton who fought against the Saxons in the 5th century, and was probably the leader of the Romano-British and Celts at the Battle of Mons Badonicus.

	King Arthur
		Arthur is the name that inspired people to think of the Age of Chivalry, where the tall, impregnable castle overlooked the field of combats, a clash between two opposing armies or tournaments between jousting knights, or where we romanticised armoured knight embarked on a perilous journey to prove his prowess and worth.
		Arthur was the son of Uther Pendragon and Igraine.
		The cause of the death of Arthur, was the adultery of Lancelot and Guinevere, the disappearance of the Grail from Britain and the betrayal and treason of Mordred, his son by his half-sister Morgawse.

	Glastonbury Tor, Chalice Hill, King Arthur, Giants - Crystalinks
		Supposedly, Arthur was buried in the graveyard of Glastonbury Abbey south of the Lady Chapel, at a great depth, between two monumental pillars.
		Legend proclaims that after Arthur's death, a powerful spirit haunted the ruins of the Abbey, appearing as a fl-armoured knight with glowing red eyes and a burning desire to eradicate all records of the ancient Arthurian legends which is why, it is said, that those seeking to discover the truth find so few facts available.
		While it is now known that the figures long predate the historical period of King Arthur (500 AD), their presence hints at archaic wisdom teachings encoded in the very hills and valleys of mother earth.

		The legendary King Arthur made a simple innovation by moving from the traditional long table with the king at the head to a round-shaped table.
		The assumption is that King Arthur had a deeper motive in mind than altering the interior decorating style of the times.
		Before rushing to cancel all orders for non-round tables, readers should know that Perkins concludes that King Arthur's round table is only a small step for addressing what he has coined "The Lawnmower Paradox." As Perkins describes it: "Pooling physical effort is usually rather easy.

		So to King Uther came Sir Ulfius, a noble knight, and said, " I will seek Merlin, and he shall do you remedy so that your heart shall be pleased." So Ulfius departed, and by adventure met Merlin in beggar's array, and made him promise to be not long behind in riding to Uther's pavilion.
		Then Igraine welcomed Uther as her true lover, for Merlin had given him the appearance of one dear to her, and, the barons being all well accorded, the two were married on a morning with great mirth and joy.

		A second image of Arthur is that of a "peripheral figure whose presence is felt mainly as a social force or arbiter of chivalric excellence (Americana)." Epitomized by the story Sir Gawain & the Green Knight, Arthur is not the main character or source of action.
		Even the manner in which he becomes king is outside of his control; as a young squire, he is asked to retrieve a sword for his knight and inadvertently pulls the sword from the stone, fulfulling his pre-ordained fate to be King.
		Arthur is killed by his illegitimate son Mordred whom Arthur fathered in an incestuous relationship with his half-sister Morgan Le Fay.

		If King Arthur is as magnificently ridiculous as any Bruckheimer picture, its thuggish charms, which owe as much to Monty Python as to Sam Peckinpah, more than pick up the slack.
		A nutty, often enjoyable farrago of craft and cinematic sampling, King Arthur moves fast and loose, and is almost aggressive in its absence of an original idea, in and of itself a Bruckheimer trademark.
		King Arthur is a snooze, overcast and drizzly both on location and on the pages of the script.

		King Arthur uses the same face button layout as the LotR games, including a parry button that hardly comes into play (you really have to think about wanting to use it in order to do so, which kind of defeats the purpose).
		King Arthur takes a page out of The Return of the King's book on atmosphere as well, but impresses to a lesser degree.
