Warner's sacrificial masterpiece?

Battle of the beasts? What a weird translation...

I don't understand why the movie is so unpopular with critics and it got this rating. Untouchables become king stories? To be fair, aren't the scripts of Hollywood commercial blockbusters so half-hearted? clip? The cuts are a lot of fast but also very stylish, not so much that the plot jumps so people can't understand. apparel? Can you accept a group of superheroes in leather leotards running around the world, but you can't see the British noble knights in some slightly modern attire?

The best special effects texture since The Hobbit 2, the magical elements are neither exaggerated nor mysterious, the visual style is outstanding, the action scenes are enough to burn the soundtrack, and it has both a street ruffian and an epic temperament. In contrast, last year's World of Warcraft is simply hilarious. Tell me the only two black points, one is that the storyboards of the holy sword and the boss battle are too game-like (like playing Shadow of Mordor?), the other is that the protagonist is not powerful enough (or is the villain too charming? ).

So is it unacceptable to this modern overall style or does it despise this editing method? Or is this subject already condemned to death? The poor director also added a roundtable at the end of the foreshadowing, looking at the box office, there is no sequel.

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.
