King Arthur: Excalibur Rising (2017)
Not Rated
Starring Adam Byard, Simon Armstrong
Written and Directed by Antony Smith
The Story:
2017 was the year for King Arthur adaptations. Unless you were looking for a good King Arthur adaptation. In which case, 2017 was a bad year for King Arthur adaptations.
This was super cheesy, low budget drivel that was nearly impossible to stick with through the first 15 minutes.
Merlin (Armstrong) was basically there to remind you that Ian McKellan is the only actor that can apparently portray grey bearded wizards in fantasy films.
I was sitting with my hand over the eject button when the movie shifted and the scene said "19 years later."
Then one of the characters addressed the other as "Sir xxxxx" and when he said that he hadn't heard that name in years, the reply was "yes, 19 years...."
Eject.
Sooooo bad.
Now you see why I couldn't just outright dismiss Legend of the Sword. That was a masterpiece compared to this trash.
Final Grade: F-
