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

[grim22]

Goddammit, seriously? Egg on my face.

Hmmmm. I retract my rage.

So Pacific Rim cast 2 British actors as American and 2 American actors as Australian? No wonder everyone's accents were all over the place.

[John Marston]

Why did Eric Bana never happen? I like him.

 

 

while he may not have been a star he has actually appeared in a decent amount of films and worked with many respected directors

[shayhiri]

This will be a magnificent movie, the Shay says.

[Chewy]

Different strokes for different folks there. I thought ATJ in Godzilla was absolutely dire to the point where he damaged a movie I otherwise really enjoyed, but most people I've read on here seem to think he was merely underwritten and forgettable. When it comes to Hollywood's attempts to inorganically create the next Joe Schmoe handsome white guy stars, opinions differ. 

 

Pretty sure most people trashed the hell out of ATJ in Godzilla? Abysmal.

 

Hunnam was bad in PacRim, too

[RichWS]

I have plenty of nightmares. Having to choose between Hunnam, Jai Courtney or Sam Worthington to be the lead in my movie is up at the top. Ten years ago, it would've been Josh Hartnett.

[Chewy]

Josh Hartnett is hilarious. Wicker Park and Hollywood Homicide are the best

Huh. Maybe at the time, but in our constant retrospective musings on movies, it seems Edwards' choices as director (which I liked), the underwritting of human characters, and the choice not to have multiple monster battles (which I liked) all seem to get the hate. Whereas with PacRim, most people who dog the movie seem to dog Hunnam, along with the semi-inexplicable nitpicking about all the fights being at night. But idk. Hunnam and Kitsch at least bring a sort of rugged believable intensity to their roles, and they've done great work on TV. ATJ, Worthington, Liam Hemsworth, and Courtney are just as bland as it gets. But its all splitting hairs, I suppose.

 

Next on the bashing line: Joel Kinnaman. Just watch. It's gonna happen. 

[Ozymandias]

 

Its disturbing how much he looks like my older brother in the face there.

[Orestes]

Haven't seen Kinnaman in anything, but it doesn't feel like he's being inflicted upon movie going audiences the way some of those others were/are. Of course, if that were to change, and if he's a Blandy McBlanderson, then yeah, it'll happen.

[RichWS]

 

 

 

 

These two are my favorite.

 

PHOTOGRAPHER: "I know this is EW but let's go for the seductive Vanity Fair look! Charlie--that's your name, right? Charlie, I understand this feels dumb but I'm trying to not work for EW anymore. I'm going for the big leagues now. Help me out."

 

EDIT: POST #13,000. Only took me over a year to get from 12 to 13.

Which is funny because he's British, no? Maybe getting to use his normal accent will help, cause otherwise I agree with ddddeeee, he's Worthington levels of bland.

I don't think he is great, but he is better than Worthington. He has at least proven he can act on Sons of Anarchy.

[filmlover]

I really have no feelings for Charlie Hunnam either way other than that I constantly mix him and Garrett Hedlund up. Becoming more and more difficult for me to keep track of pretty boy blond white young actors, I guess.

[RichWS]

It does give me great joy that Pratt has surpassed all of them in the blink of an eye. GOD BLESS REAL AMERICANS.

[shayhiri]

GOD BLESS REAL AMERICANS.

 

Yeah, RAH RAH, Jingo brother!!

[Jack Nevada]

The Chris Pratt backlash has got to happen sometime soon.

He was bad (and miscast) in JW

[Chewy]

It's already started in certain corners

 

It started pretty much the second he hit, though

He was also the only tolerable thing in the whole movie (the actor, not his character), but that only goes to show what unimaginable stinker Jurassic Turld was.

[Charism]

 

 

 

 

 

Oh my god.

He was fine playing a Brendan Fraser circa 1999-2001 role

[Hatebox]

Don't feel too bad - in his 'breakout' movie Green Street with Elijah Wood he can't even pull of an East London accent.
