We had two free movie tickets to redeem by the end of May, so went to see King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
The movie first caught our attention last year by its teaser trailer. The legend of King Arthur and the sword Excalibur received a Guy Ritchie treatment with Sons of Anarchy's Charlie Hunnam as the lead, and the result was a really fun movie.
I have reservations about reimagining established and well-known legends, as they are supposed to be based on, or at least inspired by, historical characters and events. However, Legend of the Sword somehow worked perhaps by not taking itself too seriously, unlike the 2004 movie. The Arthurian legend is pure fiction after all.
