We get it, King Arthur tale is not quite a historical story because it involves magics sword, wizards etc, but is actually tale based on a true story.
With this tale, filmmakers can go two ways; real history without magic or the magic way. Guy Ritchie chose the second one. Movie scenes do look magical amazing and the movie looks like excellent action adventure but history will be in the last place. The trailer is showing perfect fitted pants and t-shirts in medieval England. Scenes look like a combination of Lord of the Rings (Saruman’s parts) and Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes.
The story in the movie is changed and we will have classic fantasy revenge story: you killed my family and stole my crown, but I am a true hair and this magical thing proves it.
The movie was postponed two times and it will be box office bomb or smashing hit postponed in a weekend without serious competition. Nonetheless, time and critic will show true nature this movie. We can’t wait for 12 May and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey in a role of Guinevere.
If it fails we will alway have 1981 Excalibur version and the eternal question: What is the secret of the grail…
