	Clive Owen: King Arthur - Movie
		In the beginning the movie cites new historical evidence to contradict the Arthurian myths and legends.
		That sounded like a movie that I would really be interested in as I had done some reading on this subject and new none of it was likely.
		Arthur was not a roman soldier, he even wasnt half roman at all.

	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.

	Movie Review \| King Arthur: Director's Cut (2004) Clive Owen, Keira Knightley
		I never saw "King Arthur" when it showed up in theaters (and went out as a box office bust), so this review is solely based on the DVD version, which is the "Unrated Director's Cut" (but is actually R-rated, as opposed to the theatrical version, which was PG-13).
		Arthur's men are vexed, and appropriately so, as the mission means facing the oncoming Saxon hordes as well as avoiding the Woads, indigenous rebel Britains led by some grungy guy name Merlin, who resides in the woods and attacks wearing green paint.
		Which isn't to say "King Arthur" doesn't work without the action, as it is a visually stunning film to look at, and Fuqua drowns much of the film in fog and mist, the two types of natural wonders Britain is most known for, I'm told.

	KING ARTHUR (2004) movie review
		The stories of King Arthur have been changed over the centuries by different authors (as names of people changed into the names in the Arthur mythos and characters were invented).
		The movie does draw some of the historical elements that eventually made up the myth of King Arthur while some of it is entirely drawn from the myths (that influenced the Arthurian mythos).
		KING ARTHUR is definitely a movie that fails with it's premise.

		Arthur was destined to suffer, both physically and emotionally, Tristan knew.
		Arthur managed to reward him with a small smile as he folded the hairshirt under his arm, then turned and walked away.

	King Arthur review (2004) Clive Owen - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		The legendary King Arthur's tales have been revised countless times over many years (centuries even), as legends frequently change depending on the teller or the tales and the times in which they are told.
		King Arthur may have started with a breath of inspiration, but after being churned through the ideas mill of the house of Bruckheimer, it ends up as a second-rate Lord of the Rings, except without the magic or mystique befitting the grandiose characters.
		King Arthur is a boring spectacle, laughably delivered, with only the darkly moody cinematography and a decent performance by Clive Owen to keep it from sinking into abysmal levels.

	King Arthur (2004)
		For a movie that takes place in a poorly documented era, King Arthur still makes a number of mistakes that didn't have to be made.
		It is weird that the movie never mentions the Emperor of Rome, who were still around and kicking by this movie's timeline (the last Emperor of the Wastern Roman Empire was deposed in 476), and credits all political actions impacting the movie's plot as coming from the Pope of all people.
		Arthur has been away from Rome so long he forgot it was ruled by an autocracy, not a republic, for a really, really long time by then, although to be fair the Romans thought of themselves as living in a republic even after the Empire collapsed.

	SPLICEDwire \| "King Arthur" movie review (2004) "King Arthur" review, Antoine Fuqua, Clive Owen, Keira Knightley
		According to the studio advertising campaign, the 2004 mega-budget version of "King Arthur" is "the untold true story that inspired the legend" -- you know, the factual version in which Arthur is a brooding bore, Lancelot has hip, runway-model facial hair and Guinevere is a half-naked post-feminist warrior hottie.
		Arthur and his knights (Sarmatian soldiers reluctantly bound to imperial service) take it upon themselves to defend the now unguarded territory against invading hoards of barbarian Saxons from the north.
		Franzoni ("Gladiator") attempts to justify his modern-grrrl take on Guinevere by portraying her as a Pict -- a culture that may have had female warriors and may have gone into battle naked and painted blue to intimidate the enemy (although probably not in the dead of an English winter).

	MJ Movie Reviews - King Arthur (2004) by Joshua Sandefur
		Arthur and his men have been a giant thorn in their sides, and they would like nothing better than his head on a plate.
		King Arthur should have been rated R for sure, and it's obvious that several scenes were cut to achieve the coveted PG-13 rating.
		Arthur and his men seem to be using amazing Super Arrows, since they hit every single thing they aim at, while their enemies seem to always completely miss.

	King Arthur (the 2004 movie)
		I saw the movie too, and my initial reaction was not all that favorable, but I have found myself continuing to think about it, which is always a good sign.
		What Lancelot said to Arthur, that he was fighting for a world that didn't exist, was a running theme in the movie.
		I think Arthur finally realized it, too, but his response (of which we only saw the very beginning, at the end of the movie) was to try and create it, at least where he lived and during his lifetime, thus the legend of Camelot.

	King Arthur [2004] Shaking Through.net: Movies: Review
		Arthur will beat back the Saxon invaders, take a native woman to be his queen and usher in an era of peace and prosperity not seen in Britain since...
		Artorius (just Arthur to his fellow knights and close friends) and his band of brothers manage to save the young Pope-in-training and usher him off to safety, which leads to the final showdown with a Saxon warlord (the great Stellan Skarsgård, affecting a weary, "what am I doing here?" demeanor) and his unwashed horde.
		But King Arthur doesn't add anything unique to the Arthurian legend, instead coming across as a History Channel-meets-Braveheart popcorn drama too self-serious to be fun and too fast and loose with its selection of sketchily known facts to be taken seriously in the field of Arthurian studies.

	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).
		Yet as Arthur forges ahead, he comes to realize that his true allegiance is to Britain, rather than Rome.
		King Arthur probably won't appeal to viewers seeking a traditional version of the Arthurian legend.

		And in the true story, Arthur traveled to Rome, became a Christian and a soldier, and was assigned to lead a group of yurt-dwelling warriors from Sarmatia on a 15-year tour of duty in England, where Guinevere is a fierce woman warrior of the Woads.
		The movie ends with a pitched battle that's heavy on swords and maces and stabbings and skewerings, and in which countless enemies fall while nobody that we know ever dies except for those whose deaths are prefigured by prescient dialogue or the requirements of fate.
		There is a kind of direct, unadorned conviction to the acting of Clive Owen and the others; raised on Shakespeare, trained for swordfights, with an idea of Arthurian legend in their heads since childhood, they don't seem out of time and place like the cast of "Troy." They get on with it.

		He believes in the ideals of equality and freedom, and throughout the movie, he puts those ideals into action- Arthur genuinely believes that everyone around him is equal to him, and deserves to be as such, no matter what their rank or their station.
		The movie shows him as a humane, caring person, who rescues those who need his help, even though they are of his enemy, and those who are too sick and helpless to protect themselves.
		King Arthur was very much a character-driven movie in my opinion, and Arthur in particular made it worth seeing.

		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 is portrayed as a Pelaganist Christian at the beginning of the movie; thus his is part of a different version of the faith followed by most of Rome.
		Arthur and his Sarmatians are on the brink of release from their servitude to the Empire, but their final task is to escort one of the last Roman families in the north away from the invading Saxon horde.

	Movie Habit: Review of King Arthur (2004), * 1/2
		King Arthur, the new movie about the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, is being touted as “the untold true story that inspired the legend.” Unfortunately, if it is indeed true, it’s a story that is best left untold.
		The King Arthur familiar to most of the world was immortalized in 1485 when William Caxton published Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur, a complete telling of Arthur’s many adventures.
		Arthur is bland and the rest of his knights are generic, unshaven pretty boys from Central Casting.

		Factual errors: In this movie, the Saxons are invading from the North, in actual historical fact, the Saxons invaded from the South, as the first Saxon Kingdoms in Britain were in Kent.
		My high hopes for the movie, King Arthur, were dashed before the film even opened in theaters, by critics who were panning the movie from advanced screenings.
		The movie King Arthur has it all - a tight, well written story, believable characters, gritty realism, a great musical score by Hans Zimmer, epic battles, and more blood and splatter than you probably really wanted to see.

		Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the movie, according to the press kit, is based on what historians have recently learned about the leader who lived in the 5th century, when the crumbling Roman Empire was pulling the last of its troops from Britain.
		The half-Roman, half-British Arthur (Clive Owen) and his small band of knights, comprised of ferocious Sarmatian cavalry, are basically Rome’s Special Forces on the island, charged with maintaining the peace as well as battling various enemies trying to encroach on the far-flung outpost.
		Arthur’s band consists of Lancelot, Galahad, Bors, Tristan and Gawain — all mighty warriors from the Russian province of Sarmatia.
