King Arthur

[modage]

Hey mod-age, I got a new one for you: In the trailer for Shall We Dance, the voice-over says, "From the studio that brought you Chicago."

*(head explodes).

I like the one in the Rollerball trailer:

'from one of the producers of Fast And The Furious.'

Not all of them, mind you, just one.

If all of them produced Rollerball, it would have been a quality product.

Haha.  They may as well just call it Guinevere's Boobs.

[The Perineum Falcon]

Didn't those female archers, you know, Amazonians, cut off one of their boobs back in the day?
And this is also the first time I've ever heard of Guinevere seeing any action outside of the bedroom. I guess that's why it's "untold," until now...

So has anybody seen this or what?
Should I go or save my cash? The trailer is shitty but there are so many good films with bad trailers.

It doesn't make you forget the superior "Excalibur," and the battle scenes are nothing that "Braveheart" hasn't done better, save for one fight on a frozen river. The pacing could have been cut quicker, and I'm sure the film could have benefitted from the unDisneyfied, 'R' rated director's cut. The acting is kinda flat, and the Knights lack deeper personality. I like Clive Owen, but he has yet to really breakthrough with a 'mainstream' role that suits him.

In the realm of summer action, so so affair. The story is only half involving and Kiera Knightely, for as beautiful as she is, only half distracting in that good way. Enjoyed the action scenes and of course, for summer films, I expected nothing but felt rewarded. I must say though the best part of the film by far was Jerry Bruckheimer's production efforts. Excellent work. Yes, he's been incorporated with some shit films, but I think he does quality work. Its just I'd like to see him doing more risky films (have yet to see Veronica Guerin) but for summer duties, I always appreciate what he can do for such hollow films.

c'mon, admit it.  you're just saying that to get under my skin.

Alright, I saw it yesterday, now I came back here to read MAC's review again and I totally TOTALLY agree with it.... to the letter!
That PG-13 love scene was pathetic to say the least, I was so hoping to see Keira's boobs. I did like the sets and the props.
