Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
TheLittleSongbird Didn't actually want to dislike 'King Arthur: Excalibur Rising' and didn't watch it with the deliberate intent to. Although not novel. there was an intriguing idea here that did have potential to work. something novel in any kind of media but it was hard not to be intrigued by it. Part of me was nervous though considering the less than favourable (putting that kindly) reception. A reception that, after seeing 'King Arthur: Excalibur Rising', is justified. Was hoping to find some kind of value, being an encouraging generally reviewer, but 'King Arthur: Excalibur Rising' really is that bad. The concept is completely wasted, brought down terribly by the amateur hour execution and that not enough is done with it.'King Arthur: Excalibur Rising' looks bad and that's being polite. The costumes wouldn't even pass for fancy dress, even bargain bin quality clothes look better. The effects and such are shoddy. Worst of all are the utterly chaotic photography, with an overuse of annoying techniques, and editing that is enough to make one physically ill.The script is really embarrassingly cheesy and stilted, with them constantly being mumbled making it barely coherent too. Even more incoherent is the story, which is dull and disjointed with very little idea what it wanted to be, what direction to take and who to aim it at thanks to the kitchen sink of under-explored tones and ideas. The action is far from exciting. The profanity, violence and nudity were gratuitous in quality and abused in quantity.Found nothing interesting or endearing about any of the characters, all of which have no traits other than dull or obnoxious. The acting is wooden and passionless, lumbering even and like they didn't know what to make of their lines and characters. Merlin comes off best, and, along with the at least listenable if instantly forgettable music score, the best thing about the film. The less said about the direction, the better.Overall, really awful. 1/10 Bethany Cox
lokifv OK, so I have not seen the movie yet. But considering how many bad reviews I have just read, I have definitely got to watch this movie to satisfy my curiosity. I am giving this 10/10 before watching it assuming I will get the pleasure of experiencing the terribleness that has been advertised by other reviews....and I doubt one 10/10 from me is going to skew the true rating much...hahahaha..... OK, so, 30 minutes have gone by and I managed to get this far only because I was also playing (2 simultaneous instances of ) Final Fantasy Brave Exvius on mobile phone.Yup, definitely worth 1 star!
markwcousins This film is absolutely dreadful. The sword fighting scenes are overly choreographed and are similar to what you would expect in an amateur pantomime. If you watch this film you will laugh at the appallingly bad CGI wolf. I cringed and shook my head with embarrassment for those involved with this offering. Surely the actors, production staff, producer and director will have been acutely aware that this is a very poor film indeed.
philiplangdon I watched this movie hoping for an imaginative re-working of a legend which enthralled me as a kid . . . but I was appalled at how badly this one was put together. Although the story-line was encouraging, the acting, editing and direction was absolutely abysmal. My wife and I were laughing during the supposedly climactic moments, watching third-rate actors stumble through lines that were truly forgettable, scenes that were embarrassing in their stupidity, and ultimately left us wondering why - Why would anyone allow this movie to be released?
