King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

Gryphos

Dark Lord
Amongst all the comic book film hype, this little gem came out of Comic-Con. Director Guy Ritchie, known for his gritty crime films, and the serviceably enjoyable Sherlock Holmes films, is taking on the Arthurian mythos.


First impressions: it looks very modern, with its camera techniques very reminiscent of Ritchie's past work. Some people may see this as distracting from the authenticity of the world, but I disagree on the basis that this film will be less of a period piece and more pure fantasy. And as we all know, historical accuracy needs little consideration in fantasy.

Frankly, I'm always quite fond of sprinkling modernisms into an otherwise old-fashioned work. It keeps it fresh and engaging. So I'm actually quite looking forward to this film.

While I am a huge Ritchie fan, my impression is that it might not be that good. Hopefully the trailer doesn't do the actual film justice.

I'm looking forward to his third Sherlock Holmes film which is rumored to be in the writing stage.
