Wow! Like it! Even it got Guy Ritchie's style!

Well you were on a good roll!

I thought this looked absolutely shockin', I mean really bad... mind what do I know!

That is one of the most unique depictions of King Arthur's story I've seen! Or rather 'part seen' being just a trailer...

This might not be a bad thing though. We'll see.

Designwise it's everything I hate in a King Arthur movie, a sort of First Knight meets Harry Potter thing, but I suppose the Mockney gangster style hasn't been applied to it before so it might be fun. Still waiting for a serious modern version of Connecticut Yankee, you'd think the steampunk thing would have got one going by now..

But Jude Law's already done A KNIGHT'S TALE! No, hang on. That was Rufus Sewell . . .

I unironically hated the trailer for Paul Anderson's Three Musketeers, but then unironically loved the actual film. This could go either way, but that trailer looks utterly terrible.

You'd expect Richie's shooting style to be anachronistic with a film set in ancient Britain but, based on this trailer, it kind of works!

Yeah, I think this looks like a total riot. I mean, it doesn't look like an Oscar contender and it definitely looks like something I'll be slagged off for liking by some of my peers, but I've got a lot of time for movies that are just out to be as uproariously entertaining as this looks to be. Did wonder if perhaps Charlie Hunnam's years on SAMCRO have put some quirks in his english accent though, it sounds a bit odd but I can't tell if that's just because it's not what I'm used to from him at this point!

Judging by recent interviews Hunnam's own accent has definitely started wandering since Sons of Anarchy, but even before then he was responsible for the worst Cockerney accent since Don Cheadle.

This looks like it could be a laugh or a complete turd - Ritchie has made his fair share of shit but his Sherlock Holmes films were far more entertaining than they had any right to be.
