Leave your thoughts about King Arthur.
| FilmStew.comTodd GilchristClive Owen fails to engender much sympathy from the audience when attempting to rouse his troops for the umpteenth time against seemingly insurmountable odds. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsGlenn WhippWhile King Arthur isn't a waste of time, per se, the story hasn't exactly been reinvented in a way that makes its two hours compelling viewing. |
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid KeyesA brave and admirable little endeavor here that creates a whole lot of grand chaos in just a little over two hours. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonLeather and swords and British accents and gorgeous guys wielding them all can make a gal overlook a lot of badness in a flick. But not quite this much. |
| Eclipse MagazineMichelle Alexandria"King Arthur" is worth watching at least once, but only when it comes to cable. This film is a dreary dull mess. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusHaving omitted virtually everything of interest from Arthurian legend and fact, Fuqua and Franzoni substitute a plot apparently borrowed from Fuqua's Tears of the Sun. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongMost folks, when asked about the legend of King Arthur, don't immediately conjure up an image of Keira Knightley in a leather bikini. |
| Portland OregonianMarc MohanAn action film without a completely empty head, and these days, that's as rare as Excalibur itself. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertNot a bad movie, although it could have been better. It isn't flat-out silly like "Troy," its actors look at home as their characters, and director Antoine Fuqua curtails the use of computer effects in the battle scenes, which involve mostly real people. |
| The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttAn engrossing, highly intelligent reimagining of the legend of Arthur. |
