King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is Hollywood's latest stab at the classic tale of knighthood and destiny - this time from Sherlock Holmes and Snatch director Guy Ritchie. And while the origin of Arthur and the story of sword in the stone have been done many times before, Ritchie tries hard to find enough meat on those bones to make a unique movie and imprint his own take on the tale. He’s unfortunately not entirely successful, and the film’s greatest crime is that it too often forgets the old adage of “show, don’t tell.”
Charlie Hunnam stars as the title character, who must learn to accept that he's not just a petty criminal raised in a brothel but also the son of Eric Bana’s Uther Pendragon -- and the one true King of England. The actor gives us an Arthur comfortable in his old, smaller life - one who finds this greater destiny forced upon him. Much of the film consists of his journey to being king, and Hunnam does his best to make it an interesting trip. (Also along for the ride are Djimon Hounsou and Aidan Gillen, who play outlaws and friends of Arthur’s. The actors are enjoyable to watch, even if the characters themselves remain too much of a mystery.)
