This’ll be short.
Watched “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” (2017), Guy Ritchie’s vision of it. Music by composer Daniel Pemberton is only the tip of the iceberg of why I LIKE IT.
Very “BvS” deja vu for me, in that I don’t completely understand why critics dislike is as much as they do. Don’t really care. I LIKE IT SO DARN MUCH. Casting. Dialogue. Visuals. Humor. Action. Costumes. Just the sequences (I think they’re brilliant). And perhaps the list will go on as I watch it again, and again, and again.
Audience ratings are far higher anyway. To each his/her own.
Also, thematically (and a bit style-wise), it’s kind of like “The Lion King” meets “The Gladiator” (and not just because of Djimon Hansou) meets “300” (Mr. Snyder, hi!), all movies I adore. Story-wise, it also made the legend of Excalibur so much more interesting to me.
Anyhoo. More on that later.
The whole time, this was in my head: this film might as well be Charlie Hunnam’s Oliver Queen DCEU audition (if he’d seriously consider it. I mean, I know he acknowledged it at one point). The character is basically Oliver Queen in a medieval fantasy AU. Sword holster in lieu of a quiver. Come on.
In conclusion, CHARLIE HUNNAM for Oliver Queen and RYAN POTTER for Tim Drake.
(See what I mean about my DC obsession? I watch these movies and I’m thinking about how they can be incorporated into the DC Universe. Haha!)
