King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword

Directed by:  Guy Ritchie

Starring:

Charlie Hunham

Jude Law

Astrid Bergès-Frisbey

Djimon Hounsou

Eric Bana

  This film has a lot to live up to for me as I am a huge fan of the legend of Arthur and also a fan of Medieval times. Also, to me, King Arthur with Clive Owen was a really well made, dark incarnation of the legend of Arthur. Even if it does have Keira…

Movie review time!

Saw a "buzz" screening of Guy Ritchie's new film, "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" the other night.  So...I went in really hoping I would love it, because, you know, King Arthur! And Guy Ritchie (auteur of the “Sherlock Holmes” films, which, as you know, I dearly adore...)!

But, sigh...at best I can say there's some lovable, rapid-fire "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" or "Snatch"-ike banter among the boys here and there. And the main Scooby gang -- er, I mean, Arthur and his band of good guys -- are attractive and sometimes endearing.

But honestly - you know me, I like loud movies, but this has to be one of the most overwhelmingly loud movies ever made. This doggoned movie bangs and booms and crashes EVERY SINGLE SECOND, to the point where I think they must have employed every single drummer in all of England and told them to just have at it, boyos. It's all a bit too much incessant pounding, bashing noise, with no breaks. I mean - the Middle Ages couldn't have been THAT noisy.

And on top of that, they've larded into the soundtrack an instrument called the "tromba marina" (which, despite its name, is a medieval stringed instrument that is neither a trumpet nor has anything to do with the sea..) that has a deep, threatening, ominous tone -- which might have been effective if it had only been used a couple of times, but which comes in throughout the movie, over and over and over, until you want to yell "OH MY GOD ENOUGH WITH THE TROMBA MARINA!" (Which may in fact be a phrase that has not been uttered since the late 1400s.)

There's really not a whole lot of King Arthur in this movie, at least the King Arthur you know. It's the Arthurian legend done up as a brawny he-man high fantasy (with a LOT of nods to iconic fantasy artist Frank Frazetta, whose paintings seem to have inspired the look and feel of "King Arthur.” Or maybe Conan the Barbarian did - it’s hard to tell...). 

 Whereas Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes" films amped up the action element (which was already there in Conan Doyle) somewhat, and employed Ritchie's trademark fast-cut flashback/flash-forward montages as fragments of Holmes's ever-nimble, futurist mind, "King Arthur's" careening flashback montages are just there...with no real story purpose. And the Sherlock Holmes movies also benefited immensely from Hans Zimmer's clever, zingy soundtracks, which add so much to the fun. Ritchie’s Holmes movies are really love odes to Sherlock Holmes, while existing in their own comedy-action-adventure milieu. I sometimes wonder how much we need to thank RDJ -- that irrepressible on-set improviser -- for the joy and lightfootedness of the Holmes movies. Probably a lot.)

“King Arthur” is, shall we say, a male-heavy movie. The only female character of any substance is a "mage" -- standing in for Merlin, who is mentioned, not seen -- played by Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as that stoned Goth girl in the back row of your film studies class.The other women in this story pretty much exist only to be slaughtered and imprisoned.

The movie's saving grace, however, is Jude Law, as the evil King Vortigern. Always elegant, with simmering, coiled menace lurking just beneath the surface, Law is terrific (though perhaps a tad too close to his current "The Young Pope" character...but he seems to be having a good time chewing the scenery -- elegantly -- as these very NOT-nice guys...).  When Law is onscreen, it’s fun and interesting.

So -- if you want an expensive-looking, overwrought mess of a high fantasy set in some quasi-medieval time period with tons of bashing action, incessant pounding drums, battle elephants (!), giant snakes (why'd it have to be giant snakes??) and other monsters appearing out of nowhere just because...a movie that just barely tips its hat toward the actual King Arthur legend here and there...and with regular gratifying outbreaks of Jude Law -- then this is for you.

For the rest of us -- well, I was glad I saw it for free, because that was $12.50 I would have spent to be annoyed.

Still waiting for "Sherlock Holmes 3," Mr. Ritchie, and hoping that you got all of this out of your system and will be back to the lighter touch you had on the Holmes movies.

Let's see if the critics agree with me, shall we?  Till then - off to see "Guardians" this weekend, yay!
