shipperxLOL at this review of King Arthur:
I can imagine Bruckheimer sitting Fuqua down in a screening room, popping in a copy of Braveheart and asking "can you give me something like that?" Any answer other than "DUH, yeah I tink tso" still wouldn’t explain the conception of this project. It’s certainly nowhere near a starting point for PG-13-aimed youngsters to become interested in the character. Those steeped in Thomas Malory’s La Morte d’Arthur or T.H. White’s The Once & Future King will leave with the resounding thud of "what the HELL?" I’ll concede I’ve lost the bet that the casting of Richard Gere as Lancelot would be the low point of King Arthur films, but JESUS CHRIST, Monty Python presented more of a true story than this.
