Saw King Arthur. 'Twas interesting.


Well, the beginning was a little odd. As cleolinda said, "VERY SERIOUS TEXT THAT WOULD NEVER EVER LIE TO YOU." Or something along those lines. The 'RIDE! RIDE! RIDE!' was just absurd and cracked me up. However, the character designs and costumes were amazing.

Tristan. Guh.

Actually, am not overly 'teh sex' - ing over him. He was just such an amazing, wonderful character. Want that hawk. Was really upset when he died, though kind've expected him to. Would have loved it if they hadn't Hollywooded it up and had let him kill Cerdic. He was at least equal if not better in the skill department.

Was the slashiest movie I've seen in a long, long time.

Also had such lovable and quickly developed characters that I can see a lot of fangirling springing up out of this.

Arthur was a bit too stoic and typical, but suited his role and was adequate for the job.

Lancelot had potential and there were a few moments where I was just 'rock on boy, you make that highly accurate and intelligent point!', but there were too many gratuitous pretty/arrogant shots for me to like him. But he and Guinevere belonged together.

Was obvious that Arthur and Guinevere had no real feelings for each other. As in the legend, it was a marriage of politics, and the sex was so obviously a thankyou note equivilant. But it didn't matter, for I hated Guinevere, and Kiera Knightley pisses me off. Bleh. Collagen ingections.

Cerdic was quite cool despite his American accent, and the once again there was awesome costume designs galore.

All the sequences were pretty cool.

The Roman kid was hot in a sickly, odd kind've way.

Kiera Knightley has no breasts.

Quite liked the way they fitted all the original trappings into their own storyline, and despite other's disapointments I liked Merlin a lot.

OMGNACMACFEEGLE!

It was a good story overall and though I don't think it is anything like 'the true story' it's a good example of what it might have been like.

The only thing that really pissed me off was the sword.
