Next up on my "I'm sick so I'm watching movies" marathon: King Arthur. Claiming to be a more historically-accurate re-telling of the legend, the tale involves said king before he was crowned, when he was a knight in the employ of the Romans. The Saxons invade through Scotland (what?), and Arthur must beat them back with a handful of native Britons and small band of his vaunted knights. Does he succeed? What do you think?
I'm rapidly finding that, the more I read, the less I enjoy many movies. Having read a good deal about King Arthur recently, this just didn't do it for me. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, but not enough to watch a second time. One final comment: I hate it when movies claim to be historic, or nearly so, and then aren't anywhere close.
