King Arthur
Wow, another movie that looks like it is going to kick so much ass. Yeah, saw the preview last night and it looked really good. The movie has a bunch of characters from the King Arthur ages like Lancelot, Merlin etc.....

Keira Knightley as Guinevere.

Also, Clive Owen is the man. I wish he was playing Bond.

I have to admit, it looks good, but I have a feeling its going to be a huge flop.

I'll see it. Keira looks hot in that pic, although she looks like she just stepped off of the Braveheart set.

Except this is supposed to be about the man behind the legend.

Lancelot wasn't a part of that. He was a French folk hero who was later added to the legends...Several hundred years later. His full name, Lancelot De Luthe (Note to the Frenchies out there, I appologise for my shit spelling), should be an indication of that. There were three people upon which Arthur was based. It looks like they're either combining the three or going with the general.

There were several Merlins, as well, as Merlin was a TITLE, not the name of a person. Sorry, my father has a library of King Arthur Literature and a manuscript on the topic, so I've had a lot of opportunity to read up on the Man(Men) behind the Myth...I'd be a lot more interested in this movie if they weren't trying to make it out to be the "real story of King Arthur."

King Arthur never existed, except in legends and fairie tales. He was an amalgamation of multiple people, none of whom acheived all or close to all of the things for which Authur was renowned. Though one of them DID unite a large portion of what would later be England/Britain (Exccept he did it a few centuries before there was such a country...).

Major point of irritation for me, because I like Aurthurian stories, no matter how campy. I just think it's stupid to claim this is the "real story."

I dunno. It looks/sounds cool but I have a feeling it might suck. The director did Training Day, so that's but he also did Tears of the Sun and The Replacement Killers...sooo yeaah.

Clive Owen is the man though. I'll prolly see it.

Despite the "Hollywoodization" of the real King Arthur stories, I think it'll be a great movie anyhow.

I saw the trailer for it, then the trailer for Hero came on and I forgot about it, until just know. I don't expect much, but I'll probably end up watching anyways, it might surprise.

Also, thanks for the info KK. anything on the Ballad of Tristam in the collections?

I agree. I saw the trailer and I was blown away by it, I'm definitely seeing this on the night it comes out.

I love fantasy stuff like this. I love reading about King Arthur and enjoy watching King Arthur films.

Can't wait to see this. :nod:

Saw the trailer tonight as I was waiting for Troy to come on. Looks decent, I think I'll check it out.
