Review of King Arthur(circa 2004)

Keira Knightly(Guinevere) and Clive Owen(King Arthur Castus) star in the movie King Arthur. First off i'd like to say this movie wasn't entirely bad. The main story is about the battles between the Saxons and the Romans. Although it does tell the tale of the "historical" king Arthur, many things were changed for purposes of Hollywood. If you are familiar with the legend of King Arthur you will notice some slight changes. The changes are not bad, just different.The entire cast of the King Arthur legend is there including Merlin, Lancealot, Tristan, Gwaian and Gahaland.The story closely relates to the Malory version of King Arthur....minus his death.
The acting and the cinematography was pretty dang good.But most of all if you are a battle scene lover, there is a few of them that are really well done. I honestly think this movie was meant for people who aren't expecting a romance between Arthur and Guinevere, it is there but it is shoved off to the side and not made important until the end. Guinevere in fact kicks some ass herself. Overall i would give this movie a 7/10. So go rent it from the movie store or from the library like i did, it will be to your advantage. This movie was very much worth the procrastination, so go procrastinate what ever you are doing and watch the movie.

Thanks for reading until next time adios
