Arthur Pendragon with a fohawk? Seriously?! If that's not ridiculous enough, Guy Ritchie's excessive styling is obnoxious and disorienting when applied to this already convoluted and poorly explained take on the classic fable.

A stylish retelling of the legendary sword. I liked how it explored different techniques and there's a variety of execution styles. Jude Law stood out.

The whole, "let's make this dark and gritty for no reason" reboot of classic stories isn't working. Guy Ritchie is all flash, no substance here. Arthurian legend is thrown out the window, instead with have Go-Pro street chases, no chemistry (I'm sorry, but Astrid Bergès-Frisbey was a poor choice all around) and actors that, frankly, look a bit bored. This was supposed to be the launch for a franchise, instead it's a reminder of how things can go terribly wrong.

As strange and confusing as the editing is, this is actually a rather generic and dull fantasy movie. It's an uneven mashup of Excalibur, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and A Knight's Tale. Charlie Hunnam and Jude Law seem bored and the cast of mostly television actors is not interesting. The action is poorly done and the visuals are just downright ugly. It doesn't help that the movie is too grim and violent for the audience to get any enjoyment out of it. At least "Gods of Egypt" looked like a fun movie to make and it looked bright and colorful.

Watching this after a bad hangover was the biggest mistake of my life. I mean, holy crap. The editing and camera work in this is just nuts. Well that's Guy Ritchie for you.
