King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

Came in with low expectations, and despite not being anything outstanding, the movie turned out as very enjoyable for me. Yes, it is an imprecise take on the Arthurian Legend [spoiler]_Since when Mordred is a mage and Arthur has an evil uncle? Is this Saruman meets Hamlet?_[/spoiler]. Yes, it is a superficial action movie. Yes, it is nothing special. However, I found that the pace of the movie was pretty spot-on, the characters were -although shallow- pretty charismatic, and the balance between fighting scenes, humor and dramatic tipping points very appropiate. The music (a mix of tribal noises, gaelic sounds and urban rhythms) was very solid and accompanied the images perfectly. It is absolutely clear that this film will not set new standards, nor push the boundaries of a genre; but it will surely provide two hours of entertainment. Give it a shot if you're looking for an engaging fantasy action film -like Warcraft, for example-.
