Short version: the trailer accurately gives a feeling for what the movie is like. If you were into the trailer, it’s probably safe for you to see the movie. Jude Law does crazy well. I’m buying the soundtrack.

It was not received well.

I’m kind of used to critics not liking the films that I like, but that 23% is pretty danged grim. I’m hoping that they’re all just appalled that Guy Ritchie laughed maniacally and went nuts with the King Arthur legend.  I mean, that I don’t mind at all.

Still seeing it tomorrow, though.

I think that it is official: Guy Ritchie is all out of [expletive deleted]s to give.   He must figure that he survived Madonna, which means that he can survive anything. He’s certainly not going to be constrained with anything that gets in the way of making King Arthur: Legend of the Sword at any level below that of eleven with extra volts.

I would have liked to have been at the meeting where Jude Law asked Ritchie just how out there he could get.  Because when Ritchie looked back at him blankly and said I’m not sure I understand the question it would have been interesting to see Law’s reaction. After all, Jude Law can get pretty far out there.

And it looks a good deal more coherent, now. It also knows its target audience.  Blasting stuff from Led Zeppelin 1 is pretty much a subtle signal to the SCA crowd.  You can trust us, it whispers.  We know what you like. We know what you need.

Movie out May 12.
