In 2017 Guy Ritchie released King Arthur Legend of The Sword, starring Charlie Hunnam and Jude Law. It was a major flop and received poor reviews. Today I wanted to talk about the issues that occurred behind the scenes, why most general audiences weren't interested in it, and then talk about the final version of the movie that we did get. - Zábava

😤😤😤
Of course there’s a director’s cut.
Let's say hypothetically, your members were you. Would you still love them more?
some cut are add in blueray dvd. Why not this.
This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine, love the ost especially, would've liked to have seen the sequels they had planned
It sure did I really loved that damn movie.. Charlie hunnam was great as well as all other casting.. but the film was awesome u can tell Hollywood or studio out and or cut it down and chopped it up..
No such things as guilty pleasures man. There's just stuff you like and stuff you don't and you don't have to feel the need to justify it to anyone.
@@NnullX That's true null. I think trying to find reasons to enjoy movies and shows people don't is an unnecesary justification, you just enjoy them for what they are and that's it
Same. Even if they didn't do full-on sequels with Arthur as the lead again, they could have done movies centered on the other knights, like I love the idea of having movies centered on Lancelot, Percival, Galahad and Gawain, with the recent The Green Knight proving how great it can work
Devil and the huntsman and knights of the round table are my personal favorites
I want the directors cut so bad, LOVE this movie
Right lol. I did too
This isn't Guy Ritchie's best movie but man this is a great example of what his films are like. Fun action story that still feels epic whenever it needs to. One of my favorite directors and whenever I'm bored I just put on King Arthur
The Jude Law speech about power and fear is one my favorite parts of this movie. Give me chills everytime!
I loved this movie despite its faults. I constantly rewatch it. #ReleaseTheGuyRitchieCut
I got to watch it during the pandemic for the first time, and personally, it was really better than what people gave it credit for. From the scenary and background of Camelot, of course the great and entertaining style of Guy Ritchie holding all together, and Charlie Hunnam being pretty damn awesome as Arthur, in which I found to be a really interesting iteration of the figure of King Arthur and how learning from low grounds of Camelot, turned him into the leader he was supposed to be along with his connection to Excalibur. My problem of course, as you said, the pacing and editing does drag down throughout the middle act and the climax not being a strong pay-off. And the fact that they cut all the other connections to the Arthurian legend, such as the role of Guinevere and how the connection of Merlin could have brought a different layer for the story. Its really unfortunate that they couldn't do the original plan for the movie's story, because they still could have branched off another movie in the same universe but with another knight of the roundtable, like Lancelot, Percival or Gawain (though The Green Knight beat them with that character already, hehe). Nevertheless, its a really fun movie and entertaining for what it was, but certainly not Guy Ritchie's best work
And of course #ReleaseTheGuyRitchieCut
I liked how this movie was a retelling of the story of King Arthur but with very Guy Ritchie dialogue, which gave the movie some extra flavour, its got its issues but i remember liking this film.
Edit: just wanted to add a little something #ReleaseTheGuyRitchieCut
I fucking love this movie. It’s a guilty pleasure of mine. I don’t care if it’s not accurate to the time period, it’s a fantasy movie and it’s a fun one at that!!
Charlie Hunnam would be the perfect Geralt in a faithful adaptation to books The Witcher, nothing against Henry Cavill, but he is too big and strong for the character.
We're never getting one out of Netflix, lmao! Cavill is far from the worst offender in that cast.
You know who would've been the best geralt if he were in his 40s? I present to you nikolaj coster-waldau. Jaime Lannister himself. He has the height, the muscular and fit but not too bulky build, he has the handsomeness, and he has the penetrating eyes. If not nikolaj, he is 52 now although still handsome, tall and fit, if not nikolaj, then charlie hunnam, OR hear me out.... Chris Hemsworth.
I constantly rewatch this movie cus I enjoyed it
And you are telling me that it WASN'T the best version of the movie
I’ve probably watched this movie about 20 times at this point, it’s one of my favourite movies of all time. I love the fight scenes, and the humour is brilliant. I love Guy Ritchie films, especially the two Sherlock Holmes films. His fight sequences and editing are always amazing and I love watching them. I watched this for the first time probably back in 2019 or 2020 and I loved it from the get go. I was really surprised to learn that it bombed at the box office, and really upset to learn that it was supposed to be a six movie franchise but because of the bad numbers, they had to cancel the plans. I’ll admit, the montages got a bit confusing at times, but it really doesn’t bother me at all. The score for this movie is phenomenal; genuinely one of the best I’ve ever heard. I love this movie so much, and I really hope it comes back for a sequel.
If it weren't for this video I wouldn't have realised that ever. They did a pretty good job I'd say even with the rewrites and chopping 1.3 hrs of runtime. In my opinion the movie was still very good. Got to admit Ritchie is a genius to have pulled this of. Considering how apparant justice league was
Saw the movie with my dad when I was small, still remember a lot about it and how dark it was, yes somehow I was allowed to see it back then, and the story writing was great, the villain was very sympathetic as he slowly loses everything he had in the search of power and therefore has nothing to lose in his final confrontation with the protagonist, the idea of the sword giving you superhero speed to the point of almost stopping time and amazing strength its a very original take on how the sword works and why the antagonist wants it so much
Overall I definitely recommend this movie but my one problem is how they discover Arthur's identity... I mean its cool but like that sounds like the dumbest way to be found out after many years of hiding and he just gets tricked into pulling the sword out of the stone which just seems so annoyingly simple, but still a good movie
Ayo tex, i dont usually comment much on your vids but i gotta say, mad respect for calling out this film it was pretty darn good despite its flaws.
Thanks for commenting and watching 👌I would like to see Guy Ritchie have another go at it.
This movie is so good, the final battle is sick, I thought I was the only one who watched this movie lol
I loved this movie! It’s such a shame it didn’t get to become the multi film saga it wanted to be
Enjoyed that movie for what it was - Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur Franchise would’ve been really cool to see ☹️
I am a big fan of anything Arthurian and am usually a bit of a stickler for keeping to the established lore, but I do love this version. I would like to see a longer director's cut and a sequel or two. My all-time favorite version is John Boorman's "Excaliber". I watch it several times a year.
This is my favorite movie, and I call it my comfort movie. I’ve watched it countless times and continue to. I will die on the hill that this is a great movie.
Honestly, when I thought this came out in September or October or even November of 2017, it came out in May 2017, and I scratching my head as to why this opened that mouth because GOTG Vol.2 which made 863.8 million USD, just released before King Arthur.
The movie wasn't terrible to me it was just confusing and was divided into two or three different movies (how, well I can't explain it) I do like Guy Ritchie's films like Sherlock Homes theology, and I like his style of moving the camera to our main characters. The story I didn't like because it has characters that were underdeveloped, and it has some of like Dark Souls type was thrown in there, and I know the last battle was like Dragon Ball Z fight mix with like a video game, but I don't want to complain about this movie, it has amazing ideas, but the poor reason for this movie. 3/10 or 2/10 of the movie, but #ReleaeTheGuyRitchieCut
#ReleaseTheGuyRichieCut
I loved this movie and I watch it at least once a week. My 4 year old son enjoys it just as much. Really wish they would make more. This take on King Arthur was a breath of fresh air compared to all the other stories. But for now I will keep watching King Arthur: the legend of the sword.
I’m the same. Probably seen it about 20+ times…. Including right now. Just seen it again 😂
Im still hoping that we‘ll get more of the arthur movies! Amazing movie and i really love it!
It time to #RestoreTheRitchieVerse
Hell yeah this movie is so awesome, since I saw this movie back in 2017 I thought this movie was very underrated and it did not deserve to bomb , I'm still salty that there's no sequel Lol
I was so stoked for this movie and I felt like it really delivered for me. I was sad to hear how many people disliked it but I would absolutely love to see a sequel!
I literally love the movie the visuals are epic
I gotta say the movie was incredibly entertaining with Ritchie’s take on it, the quirky, charming main characters, and an emotionally-intriguing antagonist (reminded me of macbeth). But the pacing was a little too fast, and the cgi could’ve been perfected if they were given more time and longer movie runtime. I hope they release the director’s cut. 👏👌💯
It will forever elude me why this movie failed at the box office let alone the critics. It’s a fantastic movie as it is, not mentioning a directors cut. Such a great and fresh take on the King Arthur Saga. I wish I could tell Guy Ritchie that, not that he’d need that. I love it, my family loves it, it’s amazing. And that’s coming from a German dude who had to read Middle High German Court Literature at school, such as Parzival or the Nibelungen. It’s a great movie.
One of my favourite underrated movies and I need a sequel but it never came
Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movies are incredibly underrated. Not enough people talk about them.
this is literally one of my favourite film
The OSTs went 📈📈
I love this movie. Shame we couldn't get that 3 +hr epic intended.
Haven't even seen the video yet but I so agree
Bro this movie is one of the best. I don’t care about Ritchie’s humour or his edit style and etc. Imo this is the beautiful fairy tail about good and evil. It seems that we forgot that fairy tails are the basics of everything. This movie is almost a guide for people and men especially. They explain the nature of evil, where it gets its powers, and what it needs to sacrifice in order to keep the power and control over other people. It shows And Arthur is the good on the other hand, it’s very scary and hard to be on the right side of the story, that why he is trying to quit the whole movie by saying ODGAF let me go at the beginning and throwing the sword away at the ending. Damn, if you start think of the movie in this way, you can tell how much Ritchie wanted to put his philosophy, almost I would say Christian believes in this movie, and I am sure that that is the case cuz when he kills Jude in the end Arthur basically says “you are the incarnation of satan”. So, yeah, one of the best if not the best Guy Ritchie movies. Snatch and everything is cool, but this one is on another level in terms of philosophy and deepness imo
I think the problem is the fatigue from King Arthur, Three Musketeers and Robin Hood that people had at the time
This movie is sweet, I just re watched it again.
I was pretty young when the movie came out and absolutely loved it. I still love it now but knowing all the other stuff that happened I know it could’ve been better and it infuriates me I always felt it should’ve gotten more than it had
I first saw this film at the movie theater when it was on its way out. I was bored and there was nothing "interesting" playing in theaters, so I figured I would at least give King Arthur a shot but wasn't expecting much. What I got was the surprise of a lifetime when I thoroughly enjoyed the film! I own it on DVD and have watched it at least 10 times. My family loves it too. I was also shocked that it didn't get much recognition, but realized it was understandable seeing as I wasn't that interested to see it back then.
I'm very glad I decided to experience it in theaters!
Thanks to you remainding me about it 👍
Just reminding that the new Star Wars sequel got to have a continuation trilogy but this film didn't.
I haven't seen the film. I may give it a shot.
I love this movie. For all its faults, I still think it's fantastic; I would love to revisit this world.
Hell yeah man... Finally some love for this gem
I loved this movie. Thought it was a super take on Arthurian legends with creative filming. The soundtrack is fantastic.
never seen it, but it looked too good to be true.
It’s such a unique take on King Arthur and I lowkey loved the gangster movie type feel for a movie set in the middle ages. That was an aspect of the movie you don’t see in other medieval fantasy movies. Personally I thought it fit surprisingly well. The soundtrack was great as well!
I was at the premier of this movie - I sat next to Guy and David Beckham - smoked weed with Charlie - I know loads about this movie - I also have pics to back up them claims - they defo cut out 1 hour and a character - they spoke about it lots - it did suck (however I did have to say to Guy it was amazing ........ Red carpet pressures!!!!)
Mate I loved it. Really wish they make a sequel
I had a lot of fun with this movie
Man such a shame how critics gave it such a low rating? How? Other movies are ass but have a sequel but King Arthur?! So many people I’ve seen their comments and they all either liked it or loved it…. Shame how there’s no sequel :(
This film got fucked over by it's script. Good directing. Good visuals. Good performances. Good action. Good music. It's just the story that's not good. You should go watch filmento's video on this movie.
Cheese sad
one of my favorite movies, blows my mind that this movie isn't popular
To be fair, I do love the film still but I'd love to see the perfect film they were going for
Dude this movie was criminally under rated
This movie was dope as hell excellent take on the story
Finally someone talking about it
I love the movie.
#ReleaseTheGuyRitchieCut
My brother loved it so i was convinced by him. But really loved the movie after watching. I felt budget was bit high i don't know why, as their was no high paid actor in this movie.
I thought it was ok. I'm personally not a fan of the King Arthur legend. It's been done to death, and I just don't care for the story I guess, it's just never intrigued me. The only story of King Arthur I like is from Monty Python and the Holy Grail 😄
Monty Python is Goated
Dang. I didn’t know this movie had that many studio issues and cuts. It’s like the justice league or BvS. It deserves an original cut to be released. I always felt like this movie was rushed and lacked the time to breathe and see some depth. I love Guy Ritchie films so I would be way down for a remake or an extended cut release
I'm a fan of the movie Excalibur by John Borman, but I'll give this movie 3 out of 5.
Guy Ritchie may feel bad about cutting down the first 30 min of the movie
But me, I loved those montages
I enjoyed this movie. It sucks that it bombed at the box office. Also, just another example of WB ruining a movie by not letting the director do their job.
King Arthur:LoTS is an awesome movie that I still enjoy just as I enjoyed it back in the day.
I love guy Ritchie I think his director style so fun and I really want to hug him please adopt me guy Ritchie
Never count on what the critics say. They are at most wrong especially in current movies. And so many movies that dont make bank still become cult classics. Also just because budget exceeded box office doesnt also mean the movie sucks. Its just that there are a lot of severely high paid contracted actors, staff and equipment. There is also no control over what people are into until they see it. Look at so... so... so many of movies that get awards on the red carpet yet they dont make shit compared to budget. But to me those movies stink and that makes another point that budget and box office doesnt mean a movie is crap.
I always said to people that it felt like a 3 hour movie condensed into 2 hours
Excalibur is the best king Arthur movie, it's true to the lore unlike other movie.
This movie felt like it wasn't targeted for everybody, but for heavy UK slang speakers, and gamers.
loved this movie, had so much potential.
Man from UNCLE is soooo underrated
You are right,
We deserved a better movie than the crap we got.
Agree with you king arthur was good but could be better
This movie was a great fun!
Welp.. time to watch the movie again.
I saw this movie last year and it was very fun, really enjoyable movie
I love this movie and also his Aladdin remake
love this movie so underrated
as you said it was ok but mostly felt like a miss opportunity
This movie is a revisionist feast that does everything you've ever wanted him to do with the Arthurian legend.
Yup
Read the title only. I agree 100%
I love this movie, the music is amazing.
If only the extra footage was released .
I think maybe this should be a show or miniseroes rather than a movie.
I’ve been saying this all along
I thought I was the only one that liked this movie
Guy Ritchie is cinema God! I still like King Arthur, but I get why people see it as chopped and meh.
Anyone has some spicy news why his newest movie didn't come out yet? Operation Fortune.
I wish I knew. All I could find were articles just saying it's release was delayed.
Regard OF It has issues with an Ukrainian Villian , so they are reshooting new scenes…
Damn movie was great I’m sure they cut it down and destroyed the original concepts… I thought it was great casting and great idea from the Mange to Arthur and everything was just great… they didn’t promote it they could of done this a lot better but it’s still a film I recently watched again actually…. If you haven’t seen it you def need to go watch sucks that they diddnt release the full film..
I am very bitchy and picky with movies but this was an awesome movie.
Guilty pleasure baby
But i like this movie
Thanks for letting us know that your takes on Rings of Power are highly suspect 🤣
It rushed the plot. That's what killed all tension and characters. You could make an entire movie about Arthur's early life, Uther's usurpation by Jude Law, and especially Arthur's life-altering journey in the Darklands. It had all the atmosphere in the world, yet before you could feel any of it, the movie ripped you away from it with the next cut. I really couldn't care about any of the characters. Watched it twice and still don't remember any names besides Vortigern and obviously cultural characters like Arthur/Uther. Then you've got the fact that they blackwashed Bedivere and a few others, and you really just didn't have a great final product.
It had a phenomenal score and some stellar action sequences, but even the great moments of the film such as Arthur's ''You make sense of The Devil'' weren't earned because every bit of development was rushed.
Honestly, the more I write my book and the more I watch films, the more I realise that 90% of films could be fixed with either longer runtime or more efficient use of time. Almost every critique I tend to have on almost every film nowadays is that they do not give the time needed for us to give a damn about the plot or its characters. This is why LOTR and Joker worked. Joker was all about one man. They took two damn hours for one man just to make us fully understand him. And LOTR worked because it gave its characters four hours, and in the characters that weren't present for the entire four such as Boromir, gave them an incredible amount of screentime with pivotal scenes all the way to the end that built and explained their characters to compensate.
Guy Ritchie's fast paced style didn't work for the genre in my opinion. Comedies shouldn't overstay their welcomes, so the fast and almost jarring cuts from character to character and scene to scene works great for those. But tragic tales need time to sink in. Just minutes of watching a character break down over a loss with nothing but a soundtrack and some great scenery can impact the audience better than any dialogue or rapid cuts of what effect that loss had ever will. And Ritchie had none of that. We didn't feel Arthur. We just saw setpiece after setpiece. No better way to kill the suspension of disbelief than by taking you out of any immersion the moment you feel it. The longest scene in the film was probably Arthur first retrieving Excalibur, and it was the only scene where I felt something. Then even that was cut short...
If you want to see a good adaption of King Arthur’s myths just watch Green Knight and Excalibur.
Still waiting for Sherlock Holmes 3.
