This is an old staple of the genre, presenting the most classic, iconic, and complete story of King Arthur. Unfortunately, its stage quality acting, costuming, and set design don’t age well. Beside the fact that Robert Taylor as Lancelot pulls a Kevin Costner (is the only one without a British accent), it’s a bit too bland if you’re already familiar with the story. On the whole, though, it’s a good place to start if you want the most straightforward account of the legend.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword - 4/5
It's not nearly as bad as the other critics are saying. The music is really good, and the editing (except for one part) is exceptionally good. I really liked the non-linear storytelling, and Jude Law's performance is amazing. It helped knowing it was adapted from a graphic novel going into it. If you liked Timeline and you didn't hate Guy Richie's previous Sherlock Holmes movies, I think you'll really like this.
