The young Arthur runs the back passages of Londinium with his crew, not knowing his royal lineage until he grabs Excalibur. Instantly confronted by the sword's influence, Arthur is forced to make up his mind. He joins the rebellion and a shadowy young woman named Guinevere. He must learn to understand the magic weapon, deal with his demons, and unite the people to defeat the dictator Vortigern, the man who murdered his parents and stole his crown to become king.

Trivia:
The song that plays during the latter part of the ComiCon trailer is an adaptation of the traditional song "Wild Wild Berry," which is itself an adaptation of the traditional song "Lord Randall". In both cases the lyrics speak of a young lord who comes home from feasting and wants nothing but to lay on his bed and rest. When questioned, he reveals he was poisoned by the woman he took to be his true love. After the lord's death, the woman who poisoned him is executed. See more »

Saw this at a Promo Screening last night and have been shocked by the
harsh reviews from the critics.
I went in expecting to see a by-the-numbers generic fantasy like the
ones Disney churns out regularly. But instead I was surprised to find
that Guy Ritchie has applied to King Arthur the same style and
technique that made his Sherlock Holmes films so beloved.
In this film is the witty dialogue and creative editing we've (at least
some of us) have come to love from Guy Ritchie. There was never a
boring scene throughout. The action is good, the effects are good, but
it is the manner of delivery of it all that brings this to greatness.
The acting is solid, some characters are less developed than others but
I did not feel that this hurt the movie at all.
I've seen King Arthur movies before but have never seen it told in this
manner, it is to King Arthur what Batman Begins was to Batman.
Should you see it? If you did not enjoy Guy Ritchie's other works,
especially the Sherlock Holmes films then you may have issues with his
style, but if you were entertained by any of his other films then there
should be no reason for you to not be entertained here also.
