[movie] King Arthur

[beck]

I'm still surprised I sat still long enough to watch the whole thing tonight when it was on tv. Even if it were a super crappy movie, I don't think I could've changed the channel. GUH! Clive Owen was hot enough for me to just watch it for him. I think it was either the armor or the ruggedness that made him sexy in the movie. I always heard his name on this one older BBC series Second Sight that comes on in the afternoon on the weekdays but I always changed the channel. Now I think I'm going to have to check it out if it's on Monday.

Wow! I was even impressed with Keira Knightley since she wasn't sporting those damn balloon lips like she does on PoTC. (makes me wanna grab a pin everytime I watch that movie >__<)

Its so weird looking at the premier photos since everyone is so clean shaven, I could barely tell who played what part when it came to the knights.

So yeah, I'm going to ask a really dumb question. Keep in mind that I never read any books that was focused on Arthur or the Round Table aside from the kiddy stuff I always heard about.

What role did Arthur have that was in regards to the Romans? Was he a Roman or no? Or better yet, just roughly what is his background about when it came to what was mentioned.

When the movie started to get farther into it, I just sat there going "what is the purpose of this movie to begin with??" I felt it was pointless and perhaps...plotless?

I wondered why half of my Friends List was going nuts over it.

I was the same way. Though for most of those that I saw squee over it were the slashers and who they could slash together in a heartbeat. (hell, most of them cream their pants while they are already watching it in the theater *rollseyes*)

That is it exactly!! I kept waiting for something to happen, for anything to emerge out of this piece of garbage. NOTHING. It always amazes me when directors can take so many great actors and succeed in creating a horrible waste of film.
