King Arthur
The story of the Arthurian legend, based on the 'Sarmatian hypothesis' which contends that the legend has a historical nucleus in the Sarmatian heavy cavalry troops stationed in Britain, and that the Roman-British military commander, Lucius Artorius Castus is the historical person behind the legend.

unlabelledView post →shocked to find that there are no Welshmen in this new movie about King Arthur.
unlabelledView post →"Taika Watiti to play Willy Wonka in animated movie." Okay we can throw Willy Wonka in with Scrooge, Robin Hood, Dracula, and King Arthur on the Pile of Thing We Don't Need Another Adaptation For.
unlabelledView post →I heard that the Odyssey movie has the line "Our Age of Bronze is collapsing" That is like making King Arthur say "We sure are living in Ages of the Middle"
unlabelledView post →Watching that new Guy Ritchie movie and a few things — Henry Cavill should only do movies where he plays weirdos. Also do I need to watch Reacher? Also also I am reasserting my plea for a sequel to my beloved Trash King Arthur with Vinnie Jones as Merlin.
unlabelledView post →Watched King Arthur (2004) for the first time. The cast is stacked. The hair is incredible. The plot is bonkers. History was thrown out the window. Everything was muddy. Nothing made sense. I had a good time. #filmsky
unlabelledView post →*taps mic* Ahem. If a King Arthur or Robin Hood film purports to be “the true historical version,” it is, in fact, full of shit, because there isn’t one!
unlabelledView post →My favorite alt title for King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (the Charlie Hunnam starring film) is Excalibro. (I love that film, I should note, even as excalibro-ing as it is)
unlabelledView post →I liked him better when he was a fox. Or Carey Elwes. Or, I don't know, Errol Flynn. Maybe there are medieval English folktales other than Robin Hood and King Arthur out there? One or two? Or dozens? When am I going to see a King Horn film? How about Offa or Finn? Or one from Wales or Scotland?
unlabelledView post →We need more public domain mashups. Everyone should have a public domain mashup. Get funky with it. None of this coward horror movie shit. I want to see Popeye fight Dracula. I want to see King Arthur fight Carcosa. I want five different Atlantises all fighting each other. Smash them action figures
unlabelledView post →The film “King Arthur” starring Clive Owen begins with some text explaining the premise of the film which starts with the words “historians agree…” I nearly stopped reading and ran out of the cinema right then.
unlabelledView post →This movie is still the best version of the tale of King Arthur !!!
unlabelledView post →Hey, look! It's me over at the amazing @uncannymagazine.bsky.social talking about King Arthur in film. Beware, I have opinions...
unlabelledView post →You asked my thoughts on King Arthur movies. Here they are. Beware. I have opinions. (Also, another person told me today that my Arthurian books are their first Arthuriana outside Disney and thus STILL blows my mind) youtu.be/XMf2FY4-5mU?...
unlabelledView post →Landing somewhere between Excalibur and Monty Python's Holy Grail, Robert Bresson's 1974 classic Lancelot du Lac is a striking retelling of the King Arthur story, with lots of realism (and gore), but also genuine sensitivity to the moral codes involved. 4 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/07/06/l...
unlabelledView post →#Edwards1000SixtiesMovies 311/1000: THE SWORD IN THE STONE This Disney animated film is a family-friendly look at the early life and education of legendary King Arthur, his training under the tutelage of powerful yet forgetful wizard Merlin, and eventually, his successful retrieval of Excalubur.
unlabelledView post →Let out a "No!" seeing this news. Tim Curry was so often the most entertaining part of any movie and show he appeared in. Dr Frank N Furter, Wadsworth the Butler, Nigel Thornberry and King Arthur in "Spamalot" are just a sample of his many brilliant roles. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
unlabelledView post →Excalibur (1981) is the first R rated movie I recall seeing. My King Arthur-loving dad took me to see it in the theater when I was 7. It led me to believe that adults were into some weird shit.
unlabelledView post →This is deeply funny because it's so easy to not?? Film??? The new stadium????? It's like filming a King Arthur movie and putting Big Ben in the background
unlabelledView post →Thinking about Ritchie's The Man from UNCLE again, and what a shame that he used the incredibly wrong vibes on that King Arthur movie when what the world is really crying out for is Guy Ritche's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser
unlabelledView post →hey #TarValonOrBust listeners -- we'll be watching KING ARTHUR: Legend of the Sword this weekend to record next week, so GET READY FOR THE BEST (trash) KING ARTHUR MOVIE and you better believe we're gonna talk about becks
unlabelledView post →I always think of the time in 6th grade, during a unit on the Middle Ages, when they meant to show us Dragonheart, the movie where Sean Connery voices a dragon, but instead someone mixed it up with First Knight, the 'sexy' King Arthur movie with Richard Gere, Julia Ormond (and also Sean Connery) lol
unlabelledView post →It’s more pressing for me to see the Transformers movie that’s about King Arthur than it is for me to see the new Odyssey
unlabelledView post →On a scorching summer’s day, Mei and a handful of her cosplay friends thought it would be the perfect time to take some fun photos. Mei, in particular, wanted to reenact the iconic Lady of the Lake scene from the King Arthur movie.

Tim: I.. am an enchanter. King Arthur: By what name are you known? Tim: There are some who call me... Tim?
unlabelledView post →New? Oh wow. Enjoy! It’s a timeless classic. Probably the best King Arthur movie.
unlabelledView post →I’m watching a movie about a sixteen year old King Arthur having grown up in the 90s and his mother is my age
unlabelledView post →To quote my wife, watching whatever King Arthur movie that suggested he was a Roman legionnaire was called... "FUCKING TREBUCHETS?!"
unlabelledView post →having another look at Guy Ritchie's King Arthur, which is essentially a gangster film in chain mail - it isn't great but it is unintentionally funny a lot of the time, adding in your own Monty Python quotes helps as well .. (Netflix)
unlabelledView post →Despite being spoiled on stuff like Gilgamesh's existence and Saber's real identity being King Arthur, I seriously didn't know this twist was a thing until I watched this movie. Much to re-contextualize and think about based on the previous entry I watched.
unlabelledView post →Then again, I was actively pissed off that the movie that claimed to represent the "real" story of King Arthur included shit like Merlin and Lancelot. You don't get to do that.
unlabelledView post →It used to be the 2004 King Arthur movie. But then Guy Ritchie was like “hold my beer” and Legend of the Sword happened. The unintelligible frothing I performed…
unlabelledView post →TNG fucking slaps. It's especially cool this is a cash in on the Costner film (to the point they rewrote a King Arthur idea. @madeley.bsky.social gnashing teeth there), but it was made before that came out, so Worf gets to be Will Scarlett rather than the Swarthy Foreigner he'd have been after.
unlabelledView post →The only movie I can think of that does this is the 2000s King Arthur, which opens with a statement about new evidence suggesting King Arthur existed, giving the audience an extremely misleading idea of how historically accurate their jumble of fringe theories was.
unlabelledView post →deeply odd that Sword in the Stone, a film about King Arthur as a child, is more or less a hangout comedy about a wizard turning himself and his protege into various kinds of animals and getting into a bunch of goofy animal business, e.g. squirrels getting horny for Merlin. I go Stitch here
unlabelledView post →Tonight’s Film Selection🍿🎥🎬: My second favorite King Arthur film. John Boorman’s 1981 “Excalibur” will always be runner-up to “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” which is so much more historically accurate. Excalibur completely left out the Knights Who Say Ni! 😂🤣😂🤣 #TonightsFilmSelection
unlabelledView post →Mediaevalists and comedy fans, what is your favourite line from the greatest King Arthur film of them all - Monty Python & The Holy Grail? Here's mine...
unlabelledView post →I've thought far too much about this. This Mortal Coil would make an incredible LAIKA-style stop-motion animation. The Traitor & the Wretch would be a live action movie, but only if it has the energy of Guy Ritchie's King Arthur.* #pretendpanel
unlabelledView post →Fate's a fun system to learn with a ton of well-written books. If you want setting recs, I love Nitrate City (film noir meets classic horror monsters) and Under the Table (King Arthur reimagined as a 1920s bootlegging mobster). Oh, and Spirit of the Century for all that pulp action goodness!
unlabelledView post →We are waiting patiently for the cowards to put this guy in the next King Arthur film
unlabelledView post →What are you wearing to the bsky prom? Guinevere's (Kiera Knightley) dress in King Arthur (2004). Though I seem to remember the dress looking more vibrant in the film - may have to rewatch it!
unlabelledView post →I get your points. But I feel like just because Victorian or later Medieval poems about King Arthur exist, it doesn't mean we have to make a film where he is wearing clothing from those periods... Nobody has done proper Bronze Age Homer imagining, and it just feels like a missed chance
unlabelledView post →the Ink trailer has once again confirmed the same thesis on Danny Boyle I've had for nearly two decades now: Danny Boyle make a King Arthur movie
unlabelledView post →listen, this movie is terrible, and I'm straight, but no one is too straight or gay for Mads Mikkelsen as Tristan in King Arthur
unlabelledView post →Both the atrocity of Hiroshima and the film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword involved bombs. Comparing the two *to* one another is simplistic but comparing them *with* one another has granted me valuable insights
unlabelledView post →specifically Danny Boyle make Lev Grossman's The Bright Sword, but look come on man just make a King Arthur movie we all know how bad you want to
unlabelledView post →brilliant in every single film I've seen him in, AND I got to see him as King Arthur in Spamalot, where he completely stole the show!
unlabelledView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Starting from one of DreamWorks's best animated movies in recent years to a quirky French film about empathy, a very relevant to today's times musical, and one of the most hardcore King Arthur films.
unlabelledView post →#NowWatching: I’m kind getting into the King Arthur mythos, so I’m intrigued. However, this is also Zack Snyder’s favourite film, so I definitely have some expectations and not a lot of them are positive.
unlabelledView post →"Tis but a scratch." "A scratch?? Your arm's off!" "No, it isn't." "What's THAT, then?" *looks down at severed arm, then back at King Arthur* "... I've had worse." I fucking love this movie 😂
unlabelledView post →Discussing John Boorman's Excalibur, I began having Guy Ritchie-related flashbacks to Jude Law canoodling a giant octopus and David Beckham's squeaky-voice. King Arthur; Legend of the Sword is an origin story for an England of kaiju, elephants and giant snakes 2/5 film-authority.com/2025/07/28/k...
unlabelledView post →Not to side with Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, a mess of a movie, but Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword did the whole "an heir to the throne grows up in the dirt and comes back to claim his power" rigamarole better than Gladiator 2
unlabelledView post →EXCALIBUR is emphatically the Good Shit, handily blows every other King Arthur movie out of the water, and not for lack of trying. The Arrow 4K re-release is splendid.
unlabelledView post →Talk about weird timing -- George Romero's Knightriders was released the same day as fantasy classic Excalibur. Yet it's much more about why the film industry is a pain than King Arthur. All about this film on the latest podcast episode: apple.co/42BvJ1B spoti.fi/40DFTMv #moviesky #filmsky
unlabelledView post →Pacific Rim Trash King Arthur Jupiter Ascending (until they give me another movie where Charlie Hunnam cares about his co-star's storyline)
unlabelledView post →Technically a success. After this, he made a very graphic blood and guts “King Arthur” movie, which was financially successful.
unlabelledView post →They wrote a sketch where Jesus’ cross was falling apart and he angrily berates the carpenters responsible. Discussing with the Python team, it was decided their next film would lampoon the New Testament in the same way Holy Grail had the legend of King Arthur. 3/47
unlabelledView post →And on top of that, there are things that aren't historical but, thanks to just various drift in how things are present in film and TV, showing the historical realism would somehow feel more unrealistic. You expect King Arthur in plate armor even if he'd be wearing chain in his era.
unlabelledView post →The Rock is the best James Bond movie. The 80s Masters of the Universe movie was Jack Kirby's Fourth World and the Charlie Hunam King Arthur movie was a great grim and gritty Masters of the Universe movie.
unlabelledView post →“Gritty, realistic take on King Arthur” they all catch dysentery and/or gout and are bedridden for the whole film
