king arthur

the grade: B-

this film was long on action and very short on plot. in this case it works. the movie bastardizes the traditional tale, but tries to bring to life the origins of the traditional story. the film is carried by the performances and a nifty scene taking place on a frozen lake. keira knightley only helps the cause, as does her outfit later in the movie. some questions: what the heck are woads, and what was up with stonehenge? if it looked interesting then catch it, but if the trailers didn't get you excited, then nothing else in the film with either.
