"King Arthur: Battle of the Beasts" is not difficult to see that director Guy Ritchie wants to subvert the ancient legend with his black comedy, and hopes to use the rock gang elements to dispel the melancholy and tragic epic. The director's weakness in the conventional linear narrative is fully exposed, and Arthur's road to the king of the sword is completely trapped in Hamlet-like vulgar routines. However, in Guy Ritchie's world, editing and the story are always inseparable, and only when the two complement each other can the narrative magic of Guy Ritchie be truly released. Guy Ritchie's works are the parallel and intersection of multiple threads, which in itself is destined to require complicated editing. The MTV-like rapid cutting, fragmented space and nonlinear time add icing on the cake to the narrative, allowing the audience to look forward to the unexpected but reasonable ultimate intersection at the end of the film in the continuous audio-visual climax. The same routine used in the film does not have knock-on effects and circular narratives. Those forcibly inserted are more like fan benefits and modifiers, which can bring a short climax but cannot save the out-of-date routines.
The film Guy Ritchie is crazy, exhausting the hilarious soundtrack and wild visual effects, enough to give the original familiar and banal story new vitality.
Film director Guy Ritchie can turn London crime stories into unexpectedly good movies, but when he applies these fast-paced editing and jagged pace to the Arthurian legend, he can only see a cruel and bloody mess.
"King Arthur: Battle of the Beasts" even though there are a few good clips interspersed in the middle, the whole is still a mess.
There are many tricks, circles and fillers in the film, some are good and some are bad, but they are basically disposable products.
