King Arthur: Excalibur Rising Audience Reviews

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
charismoon Whilst this film relayed more on imagination than original analysis of the text, there are a few 'good' moments in it. In the first 10 minutes we see Sir Lamorak. His scenes are perhaps my favourite in the whole film, his acting is one of the only redeeming and believable features of this film and really do earn him a place on the poster as well as on the big screen. Why was he not cast as the lead? I feel like we should all keep our eyes on Tomos Gwynfryn Evans as he begins to rise up through the ranks and onto the Silver Screen. His striking looks are reminiscent of James Dean in his early works. He tells the anguish and hopelessness of the world in his eyes and looks natural on the screen. Following on from the death of King Arthur, the film lost it's way and fell off the wheels due to the struggling acting and bad sets. I hope to see more from this independent studio, but for me it fell short of what I wished for. Also... I thought this was the one Guy Richtie made...
lokifv OK, so I have not seen the movie yet. But considering how many bad reviews I have just read, I have definitely got to watch this movie to satisfy my curiosity. I am giving this 10/10 before watching it assuming I will get the pleasure of experiencing the terribleness that has been advertised by other reviews....and I doubt one 10/10 from me is going to skew the true rating much...hahahaha..... OK, so, 30 minutes have gone by and I managed to get this far only because I was also playing (2 simultaneous instances of ) Final Fantasy Brave Exvius on mobile phone.Yup, definitely worth 1 star!
martinbrygger I think this movie is really good to watch in case you are interested in Arthurian Legends. There are some really common mythologocical themes in this movie, which I believe are quite accurate which gives the movie depth. This movie starts in the Iron Age, as Ovid would have called it, where even father and son are enemies. King Arthur has died and the sword has been returned to the Lady of the Lake by one of King Arthurs loyal knights. Mordred is on the throne, like an evil sheriff of Nottingham, while Owain is on his path to fulfill his destiny and bring justice back to the kingdom. The story has many similarities to other myths. Owain is the "once and future king". It's his destiny to wield Excalibur as the son of Arthur. It's possible to compare him with Robin Hood. What I like about this movie is that it shows the mythological struggle between good and evil and it shows that egoic behaviour and greed in the end only creates suffering until people understand the virtues of compassion and rightious action. In that sense, Owain is a true knight, like his father. The movie also has similarities to Star Wars, in that Owain is like Skywalker and Modred is Darth Vader. Both these characters have their magic ally in Merlin (Yoda) and Morgana (the emperor) respectively. I would watch this movie just to get an understanding of this timeless myth, although Excalibur (1981) is a much better movie. I particularly like the fact that this movie brings back the true virtues of being a knight, like honesty and compassion.
ctuckerhoskins This movie is literal garbage. The CGI and green screens were horrendously bad and the acting was no better. None of the scenes are good in any way. It is a terrible excuse of a movie and deserves the rating it is given Nothing about this movie is redeeming in any way shape or form. Don't make yourself go through this nightmare of a film production. If you ever watch this movie I will be impressed if you make it to the end without realizing how terrible it really is.
