Hollywood Avalon, ep. 22 - Legend of the Sword (2017)

What if Arthur was a bloke? You know, a regular street tough, a geezer, a guy up from the harsh streets of Londinium, who defeats an evil wizard-king with his merry band of criminals? Then you'd have Guy Ritchie's version of the Arthurian story. And honestly? It's not that bad. Don't get me wrong, it's not great–the story is silly, the CGI looks terrible, and there are parts that drag quite a lot. But it has Jude Law as the evil King Vortigern, swishing his way through the story, and Charlie Hunnam is pretty affable as a guy who goes from bouncer to king. Starring Charlie Hunnam, Jude Law, Astrid Bergès-Frisby, Djimon Hounsou, Eric Bana, Aidan Gillen, Tom Wu, and Neil Maskell. Written by Joby Harold and Guy Ritchie. Directed by Guy Ritchie.
