This was an outstanding film by one of my favorite directors, Guy Richie. If you are unfamiliar with his work, he is the director of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch and the two Sherlock Holmes films w/ Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law. In this film, Guy brings back Jude Law and has a great cast lead by Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy & Pacific Rim). This is was Guy attempt at period pieces and he placed his own flair as usual on to it. With great dialog and cinematography, Guy brings on what I call, another masterpiece.
Charlie Hunnam does a great job portraying King Arthur as he tries hard to take on his destiny welding the mighty Excalibur and leading a small band to take over the thrown. Jude Law was also great as he did a good job making me not like him. Not as comedic as his precious roles, but a nice performance nonetheless. I also give a nod to Aidan Gillen, Eric Bana and Djimon Hounsou. Great supporting cast.
