King Arthur: Legend of the Sword | Guy Ritchie | May 12, 2017 | Charlie Hunnam

[filmlover]

I kinda feel bad for Charlie Hunnam. Finally had his "he can actually act" moment (The Lost City of Z) and the studio decided to be mean enough to finally unleash this flop in waiting around the same time.

He had already proven he could act.

I enjoy Guy Ritchie's style even though some people describe it as 'messy.'

Quote

Originally, AMC was to screen the movie at 150 sites across the nation, but upped that to 50 when the gratis RSVPs began to book up.

 

While it is an interesting marketing strategy and may or may not help the movie at the box office, I am not sure I understand the logic there. Of course people want to watch a movie for free, but wouldn't the optimal number of sites have been calculated in advance by Warner? What do they get from this extension?

I would imagine you want those experience to have a full or almost full theater, not only for the better ambiance and people liking their experience more, but because like you said what it would look like if it is not even able to get people in when it is free, I would imagine that the ideal number depend a little bit on the demand.

The quote I gave wasn't clear by it was upped by 50, from 150 to 200.

I enjoy Ritchie's style, too. I just don't think it's right for *every* kind of project. For a '60s era spy caper, it's perfect. For a medieval era fantasy epic, it looks ugly.

"90% of this film felt more like if you gave Uwe Boll a 100m dollars budget and told him to make a King Arthur film with giant elephants swinging metal balls everywhere in the first frames of the film,

  Reveal hidden contents

and there's a giant snake that comes in at the end like someone gave steroids to the fucking Anaconda"

- Fuck this sounds bad! 

 

The funniest thing about this is that it was his first movie of the night and he said he wanted to go home, but at least the second had to be better.

 

It was The Circle.

His review for The Circle wasn't even as hilarious, but that's mostly because he had already unleashed most of his rage at King Arthur. 

 

So much for it being another CHIPS / Power Rangers for him, though. Oof!

[UNDERDOG]

Man, the more and more I'm thinking about this film, the more I like it.

 

I really want to see this again. 

 

The musical score alone is worthy of admission.

This looks like the most interesting wide release of both May and June to me.  Most of the other big action adventure movies look kind of bland in comparison.

[MrGlass2]

The word is getting out, a lot of people saw the trailer this weekend.

 

It might not be a complete flop.

The trailers have gotten sillier and more ridiculous since Comic Con. And I still expect two things: that I'll have a fun time with it, and that it'll get savaged by critics.
