mrwoogieman Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 The problem isn't with Guy Ritchie and his films, it's a studio giving him any kind of budget over say 60-75 million. Ritchie's movies are a niche brand and should be treated accordingly by the studios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I am constantly seeing movie previews and saying to a friend, "that is going to BOMB." I'd say I'm running about 75% accuracy rating. How is it the people who actually DO do this for a job can't see the piles of poo before it hits the fan? +1,000,000 It is hard to believe they paid over 100 million to make this when bomb was clearily written all over it. Same thing will happen with Zorro in the post-apocalyptic reboot. Artboy99 and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisco37 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Pretty easy to see from the trailers this was gonna be a stinker. Nothing compelling about any of the previews. Artboy99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it trying to be 'A Knight's Tale' or 'Excaliber'? It seems to have an identity crisis right now. This is what made me question what this movie was trying to convey as a direction. Depending on which trailer you saw, it either was rock mixed with Gaelic, or rock, or going with some period-sounding piece. It's like they were waiting for viewer responses to the trailer to determine which path to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artboy99 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) I have seen these "modern" movies in this genre over and over and now I can't be bothered as they all stink. For me it started with Sam Worthington in Clash of the Titans(2010), a remake of the classic tale with Hamlin in 1981. The newer version is modernized, the "hero" is full of angry angst and is the anti-hero model that movie makers of today think we the viewers want to see - FYI they are wrong. These movies all lack any heart and soul, the characters are typically 2 dimensional at best and they usually contain some dumb addition that takes you out of the story: In the King Arthur film it is the giant elephants ( ????? ) and from Clash of the Titans 2010 it is this Djinn guy, why he is included in the film is beyond me, I guess the producers thought they needed something "cool". Just awful movie making, and it is to bad as I love fantasy. If you want to see a pretty good King Arthur movie I recommend the film Excalibur from 1981.
