An alternative version of the King Arthur legend. As a boy, Arthur is left orphaned after his father, King Uther Pendragon, and mother are killed in a war waged against them by Vortigern, who then assumes the throne. Arthur flees and is raised in a brothel, knowing very little of his birthright. Vortigern wants Arthur dead, to ensure there is no claimant to the throne. The legends foretell that only the next king will be able to draw Excalibur, Uther's sword, from the rock where it is lodged. So, in an effort to identify Arthur, Vortigern forces all the young men of Arthur's age to attempt to draw out the sword. Now it is Arthur's turn.

Movie Reviews

Radio Times - 10/10 by Alan JonesRitchie's tale of warlocks, Londinium docks and 2000 smoking arrows is undoubtedly his finest and most commanding movie to date.
Forbes - 9/10 by Mark Hughes[I]t fails to deliver a film worthy of [its] ambitions... There was a good movie in here somewhere, but only pieces of it were allowed to survive.
AV Club - 9/10 by Ignatiy VishnevetskyThe franchise-hungry tentpole-itis of the present studio model has produced oh-so-many dumb rehashes of classic myths and fairy tales, but this is the first that is always funny on purpose.
TheWrap - 9/10 by Alonso DuraldeThere are quick cuts and CG imagery and bro-ing out in nearly equal proportions; I found some of this excess to be heady and exciting, but by the end of the film’s running time, it all became a bit tiresome, to say nothing of tiring.
indieWire - 9/10 by David EhrlichPart “Game of Thrones,” part “Snatch,” and almost all bad, Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is one of those generic blockbusters that has nothing to say and no idea how to say it.
Siete24.mx - 9/10 by Mario P. SzékelyFailed attempt to expand and modernize the myth of King Arthur. [Full review in Spanish]
4:3 - 9/10 by Tansy Gardam...in another year crowded with unwanted sequels, remakes and reboots, this uneven, unimaginative take on a character we've seen before only adds to the noise.
Lyles' Movie Files - 9/10 by Jeffrey LylesIt's not a fantasy genre game changer, but this is a clever, unique and most importantly fun way to tell a familiar tale.
FilmDrunk - 9/10 by Vincent ManciniGuy Ritchie's nü-metal retelling of the Arthur legend leaves the old story largely unparsed and just sort of draws a tribal tat on it.
Geek - 9/10 by Bob ChipmanSo if they had the giant snake the whole time, why didn't they just use it right away? ...is a question I did not expect to be asking this week.
