King Arthur Legend of the Sword

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

The film stands on its own for being a big, bold, brash and visceral experience, boasting Ritchie’s signature flair in massive, cinematic fashion. The visuals are brilliant and the cinematography breath-taking, with shot after shot of open countrysides, old cityscapes, and towering castles blended with the fast-paced nature of Ritchie’s action and plotting that moves at a brisk pace. But, while it does move quickly, it doesn’t take away from the development of Arthur, who is played impossibly well by Charlie Hunnam in a role he was truly born to be in. While sarcastic and lacking humility, he grows into the king he was meant to be, realizing his purpose in the darkest hour. Jude Law is utter brilliance as Vortigen, who is a villian you’ll love to hate. Diabolical, cunning, and manic, he goes the distance to gain the power he desires, at any cost. The supporting cast is incredibly solid, especially the “lads” who help Arthur become legend, from Game of Thrones’ Aiden Gillen to Oscar winner Djimon Hounsou. But, another big star of the movie doesn’t come from the cast, but from the composer. Daniel Pemberton’s musical score is an astounding masterpiece. It grips you to your seat and pounds your eardrums with scathing screams and heavy breathing, only to soothe with heart-wrenching violas and cellos. The script finds an interesting balance of humor and horror at the reign of Vortigen, and it works thanks to Ritchie’s direction. Of all his films, this is not his best, but it’s his most entertaining and easily accessible, due in no small part to the main man. But, the big issue that both hinders and compliments the film is the disclaimer above: this is the first film in a franchise. It is the first adventure of Arthur and his Knights of the Roundtable. It works on its own, but is understandable to hear people disappointed with this outing with the born king.- Korra Nomad

Watched this last night and already pre-ordered the digital copy. It’s a fast paced, action packed, visually stimulating movie with an incredible cast. Do not listen to the critics on this one. They hate Guy Ritchie movies and they have attacked this one as well. Also don’t let the box office numbers fool you. It opened against Guardians of the Galaxy 2 which is stealing it’s thunder. If you are a fan of Ritchie’s Sherlock movies then you will NOT be disappointed. You’ll love this movie.-Corgi Mom

I feel ashamed that I didn’t go see this movie in the theater. I really and sincerely believe that Hollywood needs to come up with a different business model for movies. Content is coming at us too fast and gems like this fall by the way side I have screened this movie for various groups at various times and it’s ALWAYS been a hit.Acting is great, action is amazing, especially when “showing” the power of the sword, Excalibur. The fantasy elements are there but subdued like in the original Lord of the Rings movies and the re-imagining of the legend with modern sensibility has lost none of its power or taken a misstep for the sake of today’s audiences.Guy Ritchie did a phenomenal job here.Now, my understanding is that this movie was earmark to be the beginning of a 6 picture double trilogy. A shared universe. A theme Hollywood can’t seem to keep under control.This shared universe works with material that’s been in print for the better part of 80+ years.Not original properties that need to prove their mettle.That being said, it pains me that I (or others) will not get a chance to revisit this universe Ritchie created for us.The Lancelot, Guenevere and Arthur love triangle. The introduction of Merlin, the fantastic elements funneled by Ritchie, the challenges Arthur will meet. Testing Arthur and Excalibur to their limits.-R. Tricoche
