    From the trailer it looks like they've done a typical Hollywood makeover with the original source materials. The fact it's directed by Guy Richie suggests it'll probably also be quite brutal and gritty and generally pretty high on male testosterone.

    Personally I doubt anyone will ever make a king Arthur movie I love as much as Excalibur, and the reason I love Excalibur is because Excalibur was very faithful to the original material.

    Tbh I'm pretty excited. The trailer looks really cool (not to mention the excellent music choice) and I'm kind of a sucker for medieval fantasy epics. Plus I really liked Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movies so I hope this one will be just as enjoyable

    Excalibur was fast-paced and combined a lot of characters (Bedevere, Percival, and Gallahad were all the same character... and Nimue, Morgan, and Morgause were all the same character). It also combined Caliburn and Excalibur and just called both swords Excalibur. But it's still the closest movie I've seen to the original source material, so it's got that much going for it, at least.

    I think it's kind of funny how the 14-year old squire Arthur in that movie looks like he's in his mid 20s, though.

    As for this newest remake... well, I'll hold my opinions until I've seen it.

    ...I like Jude Law. Anyone else like Jude Law?

    He's pretty cool.
