In this year, any myth and epic can be adapted into a sci-fi flavor. This year alone, Merlin has gradually added the identities of Transformers and female wizards. Therefore, since there is a rock version of the "Sherlock Holmes" series, it is a foreshadowing, and then the screen I was not surprised to see Guy Ritchie making a Warcraft version of "King Arthur".

It is said that the importer translates the title of the film into what? What is it? It's full of bad taste when I listen to it. Or maybe it's just too many disgusting movie titles, which brought more than expected effects to my originally unexpected viewing experience.

King Arthur, the origin of the kingship of England, can be said to be the oldest IP character in the UK. The story of him and the Knights of the Round Table is as legendary as Sun Wukong. It has been used repeatedly in history, and it is destined to continue to be used again and again. Go creative elements. Therefore, the screen is not unfamiliar with the story of King Arthur, so it is necessary to adapt it again, either to make an epic that is more soul-stirring than its predecessors, or to make a new and unexpected one. Guy Ritchie was a natural choice for the latter, using his usual quick edits, dark graphics, and rock-and-roll soundtrack to give old legends a modern action-movie feel.

At the very beginning of the film, a dismounted majesty, the huge war elephant that covered the sky and the sun hit Camelot with a destructive force. On the towering castle, King Uther resisted desperately. This picture was enough to make the audience excited. After that, octopus monsters, giant snakes, giant bats, giant rats, and giant wolves took turns to satisfy the appetite of the audience who love sea king creatures. The whole movie is an extended version of the Blizzard game CG experience. The soundtrack of this film is another highlight. First, the tune of "The Light of Aidan" sung in Welsh, which has a strong epic feel, and then cleverly matched drums, electric guitars and horns, greatly enhancing the smoothness of the original. The exciting action scenes have a sense of rhythm, and the viewing experience is very pleasant and exciting.

But just like the distinctive personality style, the film's flaws are equally obvious. The excessive pursuit of style display has made the script of this film criticized. The first is the darkened King Arthur character, which is inconsistent with the orthodoxy of the epic blockbuster; leading a team of green forest masters to capture Camelot is too simplified for King Arthur to regain the throne. The big boss is more like a mountain prince, and Not the king of England; the sword of the king is awesome, but if it is a map cannon, King Arthur does not need to assemble an army, and he can dominate the whole country alone; there is also the final battle at the top of the tower, which is compared with the big scene in the title. , completely in pediatrics, can't help but feel that the villain is too weak again.

Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of this film are very prominent, and it is very stylized. If you like it, you will think that it is an excellent dark epic. If it is against the story of King Arthur, it is definitely not a good historical film. I myself prefer the former.

Wonderful, recommended, not favorite.

    The plot is simple and routine, but Guy Ritchie adds a lot of charming elements and blends it into a dark fantasy epic style blockbuster. The costumes and music are quite brilliant, the special effects are good, and the storyboard is very Guy Ritchie. The picture once reminded me of The Lord of the Rings, as well as the absolute charm bonuses of Eric and Qiu Hua, are very worth seeing. (Who said that Qiu Hua is old, obviously still so handsome

    Gayrich’s style is suitable for detective films, comedies, and fantasy films like this. It’s really out of place! It flashes back at every turn and looks tired. There are a lot of useless characters, the screen is dark, and the 3D hitting looks extremely uncomfortable, and the whole process is like sitting on pins and needles. It is said that there will be 5 more shots? OMG, let's fill in the hole in "Detective Sherlock Holmes" first. Legend of the Sword translated into "Beast Fighting Hegemony" is also drunk, translator, do you play a lot of Warcraft? 3/10
