Deconstruction and Reinvention of a Legend
30 July 2017
The legend of King Arthur and Excalibur has been been told many times by the cinema and television. John Boorman's "Excalibur" and Walt Disney "The Sword in the Stone" are certainly among my favorite versions of this legend. The versions that I have seen have different stories but the storyline are similar; therefore, most of the worldwide viewers have a similar view of King Arthur and Excalibur.

Guy Ritchie has decided to deconstruct and reinvent the legend using an unpleasant character and based on CGI in most of the scenes. The result entertains as an adventure especially for young generations that like special effects. However it is absolutely frustrating for those that are familiar with the legend and that likes cinema as something more than CGIs. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Rei Arthur: A Lenda da Espada" ("King Arthur: The Legend of the Sword")
