I love Gai so much

Strong spoilers, be careful.


Before I went, I watched it as a brainless cool movie, but I didn't expect it to be so cool... The first scene came out and it started to be cool. You can see that the funds are burning along the way. be dazzled. The film is worth four stars to me, but because it's so cool and I love Director Gai so much, I still have to give it five stars. After all, it was the first time I went to the theater to contribute to the box office for Director Gai.

First of all, this story has been adapted quite a lot, and it feels similar to the Sherlock Holmes series, that is, there is a frame background of the original character, and the rest is all free play of the screenwriter and director, more like a fan work. King Arthur is more like a fantasy movie (the special effects are really too atmospheric), rather than a historical drama. This one is the new king ascending the throne, Lancelot and Guinevere have not yet appeared, and Merlin is only living in the lines. See the posters and translations calling the witch Guinevere? This, this, this, I refuse, the gap from princess to witch is too big, I can't believe it, wait for the second part. In addition, this heroine is a mermaid in Pirates of the Caribbean 4! ! Do you see it! No wonder her face is so familiar, the witch here is also very beautiful.

The cover of this film is also very obvious. Classic slow motion (used many times in the Sherlock Holmes series), interlude and mixed cuts, British bickering, God, it looks like I'm going to have a heart attack. It is rare that Gai Dao did not arrange for the foundation in this film, which is a man's drama that continues to burn. (Okay, what's the matter, maybe Garcia put his hand on Qiuhua's arm?) Although using too many mixed cuts may make people unable to keep up with the rhythm, some people may find it boring, but I am very special like.

The above key points: If you want to watch historical dramas, don't go, you won't get what you want.

Blast all the way. Arthur's character is also very lovable. He is a small gangster, but he is grateful to protect the prostitutes who raised him. He is clever but does not lose the spirit of a king. Especially the last kiss, the pride of my king! Our young king, wearing a crown and holding a holy sword, ascended the throne domineeringly.

There is also Qiu Hua, what is "cold and noble" in her strength... She waved her hand on the execution ground, oh mother, let me die. Then Arthur's instructor, George, was also very happy, didn't he!

Let’s talk about a few of your own sparks:

1. The old king returns from his first victory

2. Qiu Huahua's Flame and Ash Cloak

3. The old king threw the holy sword upward, and the holy sword fell and pierced him

4. The Banshee of the Lake meets Arthur underwater

5. Arthur's Kiss

6. Arthur's last words to the lord

7. Arthur Takes the Throne

The soundtrack is composed by Daniel Pemberton, who also composed the steve jobs of Fa Shark, which he likes very much.

PS: There are also some loopholes in the plot. One is why Arthur squeezed forward to draw the holy sword first. Shouldn't he run quickly at this time, knowing that he would be caught if he pulled out the sword. Another is that Qiu Hua killed all their people in the cave and took away the witch and the child. Why is the witch so godless at this time? There is also Xiaobei's cameo, Xiaobei's voice is too crisp, is there any hahaha in an instant play? Okay, but I'm pretty cool that I don't care about the little details.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword quotes

  • The Mage: You know what we have to do. In order for him to control Excalibur, he needs to go to the Darklands.

    Bedivere: That's not happening.

    Bedivere: ...Welcome to the Darklands...

    The Mage: He needs to take the sword to the tower.

    Bedivere: Give me another way.

    The Mage: There is no other way. And he has to go alone.

    Bedivere: He can't survive the Darklands alone!

    The Mage: You don't want all of him to survive, that's the point. You have to break his old self completely, wear him down. You want him to think big? Give him something big to think about.

    Bedivere: You're playing with fire, mage. And I'm not killing the king before he's even become one!

  • The Mage: Pick it up. Pick it up with both hands.

    King Arthur: YOU pick it up.
