ReviewsGuy Ritchie revived the LegendMr. Guy Stewart Richie knows how to tell stories. What we just did not learn from him: the adventures of London hooligans from "Maps, money, 2 trunks" and "Big Jackpot", the cult adaptation of "Sherlock Holmes", the spy thriller "Agents A. N. K. L.". And here is one of the most talented directors of Great Britain reached the epic of his beloved homeland, presenting the world with an excellent spectacular film "The Sword of King Arthur", so gorgeously flavored with the true "Gairichev" handwriting!
Even with the advent of the first trailer, I knew that I would go to the movies for this film. However, after seeing the rating of film critics, which was only 9% on the day of the premiere, I went to the session with an extremely skeptical attitude. And you know how I was glad that I did not believe these figures!
Elegant shooting of the most diverse and detailed locations, excellent special effects, Charlie Hannem, delighted yet in "Hooligans", in the image of Arthur, incomparable Jude Law, who replaced the papal tiara for the royal crown, in the role of antagonist, original English humor, all "business cards "One of your favorite directors, suggested that there are reviews for the Movie Search. But the real cherry on the cake was the magnificent, incredible and simply awesome music of Daniel Pemberton. The case when the Nordic harsh motives, sometimes leading the ears to musical ecstasy, did not just fit into the film, but became one of the main actors.
The plot of the picture is based on the novel by Thomas Malory "Death of Arthur". However, one should not be frightened of such a name, the story will go about the maturing and becoming of the king, of course with the corrections of the eminent director. Young Arthur trades with his friends in the city of Londinium and takes the famous Excalibur into his hands only by chance, after which, by a miracle escaping execution, begins his hard way of ascension to the throne.
"King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" certainly can not be called the new "Lord of the Rings" or "The Game of Thrones", but to watch the film is definitely worth it. After all, it is, first of all, the story of a hooligan, but a deeply honest kid, defending his family, friends and people, and only then about the glorious medieval England with magic, basilisk, huge bizarre animals and other miracles. Guy Ritchie, with his characteristic love of his work, tried to convey to us some of the myths and legends of his people, and to ignore this would at least be impolite.
If you want to see a truly worthy story from a recognized master, if you want to plunge into the atmosphere of medieval intrigue, magic and adventure, if you appreciate subtle humor, nice picture and chic OST, creators have something to offer you!
