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.

The best film version of this story. The cast, the action scenes, the VFX, the costumes, the cinematography, the Dickensian mixed-era script are all top notch. The score is simply incredible. Easily one of the best movie scores in the last couple of decades. Must watch if you’re a King Arthur fan. Tragically underappreciated. 5/5
Would have been nice to ride it to the finish with the othe five films they had planned. A shame really.
Sequel is being discussed, saw an article just last week, Charlie Hunnam is pushing for it.
