At a Glance

Blood and thunder of the Medieval variety from Antoine Fuqua, director of Training Day and the incredible Tears of the Sun. Clive Owen straps on his armour and wades through the enemy as Arthur, ancient hero and chick magnet. A demystified take on Arthurian Legend, on moody Arthur, dishy Lancelot (Ioan Gruffudd) and foxy Guinevere (Keira Knightley, holding her own in the battle scenes), this a slick Hollywood production with all the trimmings you'd expect from producer Jerry "Pirates of the Caribbean" Bruckheimer. The movie is particularly satisfying in special edition form, coming, as it does, with an additional twenty minutes of hacking, stabbing, chopping and bashing action.
