As you know I'm a big fan of King Arthur stories and I've read books, watched movies and played video games about King Arthur.

I have seen this movie and I felt disappointed in this version of King Arthur Now to summarize the story plot. This movie is about King Arthur who gets killed in battle and later on Owain gets arrested by Mordred and killed and thrown in the lake. The Lady in the water gives the Excalibur to Owain and he goes on a quest to over throw Mordred and the Witch in the castle and he seeks help from Merlin the Wizard.

I was surprised with the amount of bloody violence and strong profanity this movie contains.

Parents and sensitive people, Be warned this movie has mature content and it is violent, has disturbing content, contains strong profanity compared to "Game of Thrones" or "Braveheart" and this movie is not for kids so you've been warned.

It's too bad this movie "King Arthur: Excalibur Rising" was very bloody, violent, has so much swearing. It could've had more story in it and been done better. This could've been a great "King Arthur" movie even for a low budget movie. The music score was very beautiful and exciting like you would expect from a movie soundtrack.

If you want a good "King Arthur" movie then I suggest watching "The Sword in the Stone" or "First Knight" or "Knights of the Round Table" 1953, "Quest for Camelot", or "Camelot" 1967.

I consider myself to be another among the duped RedBox renters. Should of came here first to read reviews then I would have taken heed that this King Arthur-Excalibur Rising May 4 2017 was not the similarly entitled King Arthur-Legend of the Sword May 12 2017 I was looking for. Back I go to the rental realm in search of http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1972591/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Sadly, I could not grasp the story line as everything except the soundtrack was horrid. Bad: casting, wardrobe, choreography, acting, writing, directing and more distracted me from the subject matter. This movie oozes in that low budget feel. I also preferred the 1981 Excalibur with it's lack of CGI era. I feel no shame for taking a nap mid way through this King Arthur.

Other than the grand musical score, the other positive is the actor who played Merlin. Simon Armstrong http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1409802/?ref_=tt_cl_t5 was nearly a ringer for Ian McKellen's Gandalf. Coincidence? I dub thee 2.5 star movie to be the lowest rated IMDb movie of all time.

I wish I had read the reviews before I watched the movie.

I can not add to what everyone else has commented on.

I gave a 1 star rating only for the music. Too bad the acting and script and plot were not as good. Was this done as a high school art project?
