When the child Arthur’s father is murdered, Vortigern, Arthur’s uncle, seizes the crown. Robbed of his birthright and with no idea who he truly is, Arthur comes up the hard way in the back alleys of the city.

Viewing Notes
Took the whole family to see this for Mothers Day, mainly because Gavin really wanted to see it. Surprisingly Ewan liked it more than anyone else. It’s a big mess of a movie, relying heavily on special FX to cover up the crazy.
I really wish they’d spent more time on the battles, especially the opening and final battles. Those both should have been batshit-crazy, drawn out spectacles of swordplay and special FX. I was hoping for more giant battle elephants at the very least. I also wish they’d have spent more time on Arthur’s journey through the Dark Lands, which was a disjointed could-have-been that contributed little to the forward motion of the film. Instead we just got peeks at some pretty cool monsterish things like large rats, giant bats and a huge snake. I wanted a LOT more of that!
It was great to see Neil Maskell show up in a fairly prominent role. Haven’t really seen him much since KILL LIST.
