OK, so I have not seen the movie yet. But considering how many bad reviews I have just read, I have definitely got to watch this movie to satisfy my curiosity. I am giving this 10/10 before watching it assuming I will get the pleasure of experiencing the terribleness that has been advertised by other reviews. ...and I doubt one 10/10 from me is going to skew the true rating much...hahahaha. .... OK, so, 30 minutes have gone by and I managed to get this far only because I was also playing (2 simultaneous instances of ) Final Fantasy Brave Exvius on mobile phone. Yup, definitely worth 1 star!

This time I urge you not to ignore the other reviews which were right. this movie sucks big time. u must be very polite to rank this crap more than....1 star and that's generous. I think only those who made this movie gave it more than 1 star. There is no need to tell you what's wrong with this movie. the other reviews said many of those stuff but I will tell you this to understand how bad this is. So far the only person I know who "watched" this film and he did not said anything wrong about the film was a person who in real life is simply...BLIND. that's the only way to....."watch"....this film and not bothered by it.....LOL

May contain spoilers - although I am unsure this movie can actually be spoiled any more than has been accomplished already by the Director and cast. OK, I am going to admit to having made a huge error. I am currently in Asia, and when I saw this movie advertised at the cinema, for some reason I thought this was the King Arthur movie being made by Guy Ritchie - a schoolboy error i know, but in my desperation to see a good movie I did not hesitate to get a ticket and get in to the cinema. I sat through the movie in disbelief that my hero Mr Ritchie could be involved in anything so abysmal and only after an hour did I break the cardinal rule and get my phone out in the cinema and open my IMDb app and check. The utter relief when I realised my error was noticeable to those sat around me when I let out an audible "Thank God for that". The acting is dreadful, the story is dreadful, the continuity and fight scenes are dreadful. The final scene where Arthur - King of the Britons is crowned and looks majestically at the crowd, scanning from left to right as If upon ten thousand people and when the camera pans back he is stood in front of about 12 people (including his old mates from the tavern) all stood on the edge of a pond (supposedly the abode of the lady of the lake). I knew there was something wrong in the first few minutes when we saw Merlin who had had the costume department go to great lengths to make him the shorter double of Gandalf. I guess there are only so many looks for a wizard. If you like sitting through appalling movies then this is one for you, otherwise avoid like the plague and do not make the same mistake as me. Mr Ritchie, I apologise for not realising in the first 30 seconds this was nothing to do with you!

I actually thought I was watching the other King Arthur movie from 2017. I kwpt watching this one because I thought it was worth finishing. Sure, its not a great movie, pretty shallow, predictable, and things could have went worse before they went better. But it was a decent movie, worth a few more than 2.5 stars. I liked the lead, he was relatable and his character was sincere. I would like to see him in other roles. The scenery and props were pretty good, except the white houses (why white??) Also the blood coming from the mouth was cheesy and almost made me dislike the movie. Overall, I think the crew did a good job and deserve a few more stars!!

Hi there film lovers, A quick review on this travesty of a shambles of two shams of a mockery, how could anybody in their tiny mind think that this film was good enough to release, in a few years from now a scientist will discover that all the wasted pixels used on UTTER garbage like this will be responsible for the demise of the human race, So I urge all film makers who after a few courses in film, actors with a bit of extra work behind them, TO STOP !!! making absolute tripe like KA:ER (2017) as you are damaging the future of mankind. Think about it ... Does this review contain spoilers? NO.... as this movie is so predictable it would take a moron not to work out the storyline after two pages of script. One more IMDM please we need a minus rating if so this would have received -10

Didn't actually want to dislike 'King Arthur: Excalibur Rising' and didn't watch it with the deliberate intent to. Although not novel. there was an intriguing idea here that did have potential to work. something novel in any kind of media but it was hard not to be intrigued by it. Part of me was nervous though considering the less than favourable (putting that kindly) reception. A reception that, after seeing 'King Arthur: Excalibur Rising', is justified. Was hoping to find some kind of value, being an encouraging generally reviewer, but 'King Arthur: Excalibur Rising' really is that bad. The concept is completely wasted, brought down terribly by the amateur hour execution and that not enough is done with it. 'King Arthur: Excalibur Rising' looks bad and that's being polite. The costumes wouldn't even pass for fancy dress, even bargain bin quality clothes look better. The effects and such are shoddy. Worst of all are the utterly chaotic photography, with an overuse of annoying techniques, and editing that is enough to make one physically ill. The script is really embarrassingly cheesy and stilted, with them constantly being mumbled making it barely coherent too. Even more incoherent is the story, which is dull and disjointed with very little idea what it wanted to be, what direction to take and who to aim it at thanks to the kitchen sink of under-explored tones and ideas. The action is far from exciting. The profanity, violence and nudity were gratuitous in quality and abused in quantity. Found nothing interesting or endearing about any of the characters, all of which have no traits other than dull or obnoxious. The acting is wooden and passionless, lumbering even and like they didn't know what to make of their lines and characters. Merlin comes off best, and, along with the at least listenable if instantly forgettable music score, the best thing about the film. The less said about the direction, the better. Overall, really awful. 1/10 Bethany Cox

As you know I'm a big fan of King Arthur stories and I've read books, watched movies and played video games about King Arthur. I have seen this movie and I felt disappointed in this version of King Arthur Now to summarize the story plot. This movie is about King Arthur who gets killed in battle and later on Owain gets arrested by Mordred and killed and thrown in the lake. The Lady in the water gives the Excalibur to Owain and he goes on a quest to over throw Mordred and the Witch in the castle and he seeks help from Merlin the Wizard. I was surprised with the amount of bloody violence and strong profanity this movie contains. Parents and sensitive people, Be warned this movie has mature content and it is violent, has disturbing content, contains strong profanity compared to "Game of Thrones" or "Braveheart" and this movie is not for kids so you've been warned. It's too bad this movie "King Arthur: Excalibur Rising" was very bloody, violent, has so much swearing. It could've had more story in it and been done better. This could've been a great "King Arthur" movie even for a low budget movie. The music score was very beautiful and exciting like you would expect from a movie soundtrack. If you want a good "King Arthur" movie then I suggest watching "The Sword in the Stone" or "First Knight" or "Knights of the Round Table" 1953, "Quest for Camelot", or "Camelot" 1967.
