I've been going through my old DVD collection( I know it made me feel old), and I stumbled across the 2004 film, King Arthur. On re-watch, this movie is actually a lot of fun.


The cast is excellent; you have an up-and-coming Clive Owen, the always fantastic Kiera Knightly hot off the heels of the success of the first Pirates film, and a virtually unknown Mads Mikkelsen.

The story holds up. It is more of a historical retelling of the Arthur myth with a more realistic slant. The other supporting members of the cast all do really well. The action sequences are excellent, especially the fight on the ice, which should really get more credit. Clive Owen cements himself here, I think, the film has a humbling 31% on RT, but Clive is hands down pulling his weight here. The success of Gladiator and Russel Crowe's success a few years before could have inspired him in this because this film feels like a stepping stone for Owen toward films like Children of Men. Knightly, on the other hand, is capitalizing on the Pirate's success. She is the big name in this film. Her different take on the Guinevere is refreshing. Antione Fuqua is red hot in this time period as well. Training day and tears of the sun lead directly into this film.

Those were the days

But mostly this movie brought to mind the fun of the early 2000s films. They are big, action movies focus more on entertaining than trying to re-invent the wheel. Movies like King Arthur and Armageddon feel like container events not meant to be anything other than a fun weekend flick. I kind of miss when movies weren't just set-ups for other films or universes.
