I have always been and always will be a die-hard fan of the King Arthur stories. My family is from that area of that area of the world, so there is some deep-seated calling to it. However, I tire greatly over the focus of the Arthur-Guenivere-Lancelot plot being the entire focus or one of the main focuses of the movie. I especially enjoyed that those character relations were subtle undertones. In that way for Aurthur-lovers you can see, "Ohh... I know what's going on there!" My favorite part, as with the Mists of Avalon, was how they meshed the Christian faith of Rome with the pagan beliefs of the knights and the people in the country. This is a remarkable depiction of how it would have been like for Christian Rome to be attempting to convert the pagan--and the relations there were remarkable, I thought. The translation of the aloof romantic story we all know to a more down-to-earth version was amazing. In every other version we see, it's all about what's going on within the personal lives of the characters, but one of the reasons Arthur and his knights are still in our minds is because they did great things for the world, and I thought it a crime to not focus on that. Clive Owen and Kiera Knightly were a weird pair, I admit. One is flawlessly gorgeous and the other you have to sit and think for a second before you realize he is a hottie too. There were times when I knew what was going on, but didn't really understand the character's motivations behind it, but when you hit the final scene and realize what's been done here, you feel a smile break out on your face. At this point, if a studio is going to do something about King Arthur, it's not really about being historically or politically correct--it's about doing something that hasn't been done before, and I think that they hit the nail on the head.
