	King Arthur - the movie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		King Arthur without chivalry and romance, without spells, curses and tragic destiny, is a national insult.
		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
		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.
		King Arthur traces the origins of the title character and his men, the famed Knights of the Round Table.
		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.

	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.
		This ‘King Arthur’ is set in the Dark Ages in the 5th Century, which is not the usual setting for a story about King Arthur.
		Forget traditional King Arthur as you may know him, for this is a totally different slant on Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.

	King Arthur - Movie Review
		These contradictions are not deeply explored, let alone resolved, by 'King Arthur', but their obvious resonance with today's unfolding war on terrorism expands the film beyond the limited arena of Badon Hill (where the final battle takes place), refashioning ancient myth in the image of modern history.
		Yet 'King Arthur' is worth seeing for its impressive battle scenes - especially the face-off on a lake of cracking ice - and for Stellan Skarsgård, whose performance as Cerdic, the ruthless Saxon leader, is a masterclass in mumbling understatement that makes a potentially cardboard character come to life.
		King Arthur is one heck of a good movie and i liked it.And to all of those people who cant tell a good movie from a bad movie u should learn to tell a movie from a good movie from a bad one.....

		Another school of thought believes that Arthur is at best a half-forgotten Celtic deity devolved into a personage (citing sometimes a supposed change of the sea-god Lir into King Lear) or a fictive person like Beowulf.
		Another early reference to Arthur is in the Historia Brittonum, attributed to the Welsh monk Nennius, who is said to have written this compilation of early Welsh history around the year AD In this work Arthur is referred to as a 'leader of battles' rather than as a king.
		King Arthur is sometimes depicted as the leader of the Wild Hunt in not only the British Isles, but in Brittany, France and Germany.

	Movie Review : "King Arthur" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		King Arthur is not the fanciful legendary hero movie that you would expect from that name.
		Arthur (Clive Owen) is a Roman officer who along with 6 other knights (known as the Sarmatian knights) have given 15 years of their life in service to Rome and to the Pope.
		Not being Roman by birth, Arthur is torn when he learns that he and his men will not receive their discharge papers on the eve of their 15 years of service, but have one last task to perform before they will be freed from service.

		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.

		Instead we are presented with a gritty, supposedly more realistic view of Arthur and his knights, one that bears little resemblance to traditional legend and only hints at the love triangle between the story’s central players.
		King Arthur has got to be one of the worst movies i've seen in recent years.
		Although it's supposed to show what King Arthur may have been like, that doesn't mean that it will be enjoyable and with Clive Owen and his monotone voice almost putting you to sleep, I would also suggest that you stay away from this movie, believe me, you won't regret it.

		The story begins 1000 years before King Arthur’s legend and sets the scene on how Arthur and his knights came to be in Britain and how the fight unfolded to set Brittan free, both from the Romans and then the invading Saxons.
		Arthur is not yet a king and he rides with his knights protecting the Roman territories in Britain.
		Arthur believes in the idealistic Rome of fifteen years ago, unaware of its recent change in religious and political status.

	King Arthur - Movie Review
		King Arthur, a “historical” version of the British myth, strips away the magic of Camelot for the cold filth of the Dark Ages.
		While Arthur and his special forces venture one last mission before securing their walking papers from the retreating Romans, brutal Saxon forces are sweeping southward, burning every village that stands between them and dominion.
		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.

		Arthur is a roman scion who stays behind when the empire withdraws, and builds his realm with Merlin's help.
		The understanding that I have is that there was a king who tried to unite the Britons in the 5th century (circa 490), there is some archaeological and historical evidence that there must have been someone like that, named the Bear.
		The legend of arthur I think should be treated like all legends - it should be made relevant to the era we live in.

		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.

		Historians have thought for centuries that King Arthur was only a myth, but the legend was based on a real hero, torn between his private ambitions and his public sense of duty.
		Behold the Legend of Arthur, King of the Britons.
		All we've really done is use the brand name of King Arthur, made a passing swipe at some of his legend -- love triangle with Lancelot, Excalibur, Roundish table -- and dipped it all in some kind of speculative research to make it feel real.

		In this version Arthur is a leader of different sorts, and his Knights are an eclectic band of fighters, each with their own motives and fighting styles.
		This time though she isn't your regular damsel in distress, but a warrior of vast talents too, which is a nice change.
		Her role, aside from "love interest" eventually for Arthur, is trying to get Arthur to care about the land and freeing it's people from Roman rule, and the Saxon's who are now attempting to seize it.

	King Arthur London Movie Review
		Given King Arthur’s dismal performance at the U.S. box office, the publicity machine has gone into overdrive in order to assure its potential audience that this is “the real King Arthur”, like a multi-million dollar history lesson.
		So Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table — Lancelot (Ioan Gruffud), Bors (Ray Winstone), Tristan (Mads Mikkelsen) and the rest — embark on their mission as audiences struggle to forget the coconut shell clip-clop noises from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
		The climactic battle is decent enough, but the fact remains that King Arthur has had its thunder comprehensively stolen in that department by Troy.
