I like it, but it’s certainly not a normal movie by any means. It’s very much stylized – more like an opera or a music video than a normal motion picture, more epic mythic story than documentary-lets-pretend-this-really-happened. And I mean this storytelling-wise, not in terms of camera angles or colours or anything like that. Therefore, I suspect it’s not to everyone’s liking.
“I was not born to live a man’s life, but to be the stuff of future memory.” This quote by Arthur in the movie also applies, in a way, to the movie as a whole. The movie does not try to portray Arthur as a realistic medieval/fantasy king, but the idea of King Artur, the legend.
