King Arthur: Legend of the Sword Review

King Arthur.

The trailers for this film are horrible, let’s just get that out of the way. The first time I saw the Trailer, I was like, “Arsehole director! Who does he think he is! Copying Guy Ritchie’s Signature style.”

Then I saw that Guy Ritchie IS THE director.

Somehow his recent movies like Sherlock Holmes have been good but nothing as great as Snatch or Lock Stock.

This movie seemed hopeless, but somehow Guy Ritchie made a comeback with this film. This is his take on the King Arthur legend and he does it in his typical fast paced, crime movie, heist flick sort of style and somehow, it all comes together and WORKS RATHER well.

I don’t how else to say this, but this film is AWESOME!

Personally I am STILL suffering from a Baahubali Hangover and this film is PERFECT for such hangovers! The story is similar to our own Desi Super Hit where in, an young man is raised not knowing that his father was the king and whose evil brother takes over the throne and the young boy is left orphaned. Now he must rise up against his evil uncle to take back his father’s kingdom and give the people justice. (not that the story of LION king is much different)

The story might be the same old, but the way Guy Ritchie directs it, works VERY well. His direction is what makes a mediocre sort of story into something fun and amazing to see.

There are scenes reminiscent of snatch and they are not just hilarious but fast paced and keeps the viewers on their toes. The action scenes are damn good even though there are not too many of them. But every action scene is bloody amazing.

The score is also amazing and gives rhythm and Pace to the film which is more or less relentless.

FEW minor problems are there in the film, some useless but cool scenes which are not needed and the concept of magic and mages is not well explains. Not to mention the famous merlin doesn’t make an appearance AT ALL. But overall this film is blast to see and quite satisfying.

Rating : 8/10. Fantasy Swords and Fighting genre got a huge boost recently and this film is totally worth a watch in 3d.
