The legend of King Arthur is arguably second only to Robin Hood in terms of well-known British folklore . But , trust us , you ’ ve never seen the story of the once-and-future king told quite like this before …
Directed by Guy Ritchie , who shot to fame with the flash , funny crime thriller Lock , Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in 1998 , the film stars Charlie Hunnam ( Pacific Rim ) as the fabled medieval figure . If you ’ ve seen the trailer ( or , for that matter , any of Ritchie ’ s prior work ), you ’ ll know the kind of movie to expect : quickfire dialogue , speedy cuts , jarring sound effects , larger-than-life characters . You ’ ll also know that you ’ re in for a real treat ! When we first meet the
“ Hey Jude , don ’ t make it bad . Take this kingdom and make it better !”
orphaned Arthur , he ’ s trying to make a quick shilling on the streets of Londinium : petty robbery , illegal fisticuffs , etc . Unbeknownst to him , he ’ s actually the country ’ s rightful king ; his evil uncle Vortigern ( Jude Law – TV ’ s The Young Pope ) murdered Arthur ’ s father when Arthur was just a boy , then cast the youngster penniless into the wilderness . The rotter !
Now , many years later , our reluctant hero is about to draw a sword – Excalibur – from a stone and , in doing so , unleash merry hell on the kingdom . Can he reclaim his crown and save the people from Law ’ s tyrannical , greedy , oppressive ruler ? ( Nope , he really doesn ’ t have any good points !)
Medieval mayhem with an all-star cast that also includes Djimon Hounsou and former footballer David Beckham . You ’ re going to love it !
