Wow, what a movie.
Before going to see this film, I thought it was going to suck. Suck bad. But, luckily, I was way off.
In England, way back when, mages and humans lived together, but once Arthur's (Hunnam) uncle takes power, the world is thrown off balance. It is Arthur's right to fix it although he does not want to be king.
This is definitely a Guy Ritchie film. I have only ever seen one other Guy Ritchie film, which was a short "Star." His movies have a tendency to be fast paced with some experimental editing in between. This film captures that and makes you feel eager and excited for more. There were various scenes that because of the type of camera work and editing, did not feel like a boring Medieval film in the slightest.
In addition, Hunnam makes a great Arthur. He's sarcastic and witty, but contains the qualities that a leader would. They picked the best person to play him. Pretty much all the characters were spot on. 5 popcorns.
