Just wasted 2:13 of my life watching this piece of poo. Seems like Jerry Bruckheimer wanted to make a King Arthur version of Gladiator, but fell extremely short. Lots of speeches that make you go "oh god, how cheesy", and even the battle scenes are predictable and boring... no "oooo"s or "aaaaa"s.

    I liked it too. It wasent the best movie, but I enjoyed it.
    King Arthur is actually one of the closest renditions to the original stories in Old English. It could have been much better as a movie, but I think it worked overall.

    I enjoyed this as well, decent movie.
    If...
    Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    Maybe I was just in the wrong mood for that genre :)

    Hated the theaterical cut, the extended edition is substantially superior. Overall, good way to kill 2.5 hours..
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin
