First King Arthur reactions are in

Yesterday, King Arthur fans were treated to the first screening of Guy Ritchie’s retelling of the historical story, and their reactions are in.

A select number of lucky fans, who won Warner Bros.’ King for a Day competition, saw the movie in AMC theaters last night. One theater even had director Ritchie and the titular star Charlie Hunnam in attendance. And many will be pleased to hear that the film went down extremely well, with generally very positive reactions:

Just got out of an advanced screening of the new King Arthur movie. Fun movie. I enjoyed it. A little much on the CGI in parts. 75/100

I'm back from an advanced screening of the shockingly enjoyable "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword." It's Le Morte d'Arthur by way of Snatch.

KING ARTHUR is clunky to start but finds its footing pretty quickly thereafter. Stylish action, though not always engaging. Still quite fun.

However, KING ARTHUR has a bit of a stupid, reverse SUICIDE SQUAD issue where the villain creates his own problem. You'll see what I mean.
