King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (亞瑟:王者之劍) is an 2017 movie. The film stars Charlie Hunnam as King Arthur. The supporting cast include Jude Law, Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey, and Djimon Hounsou. The movie is a new look at the story of King Arthur directed by Guy Ritchie.
Jude Law plays Vortigern, who kills Arthur's parents to gain the throne. Arthur escapes, found by prostitutes, and raised him with street smarts. Arthur runs into some trouble and falls in with some folks trying to pull Excalibur from the stone. Arthur pulls it and thus begins his story to overthrowing Vortigern.
Short summary because the movie was super complicated. Seriously complicated. BUT it was fun and the story was another realistic take on the legend of Arthur. In this case, taking a more rags to riches and man of the streets. Charlie ends up being a reluctant king who overcomes.
If it comes on TV, I'd stop to watch. Not sure if I go out of my way to watch again.
