King Arthur - 5

This film is attempting to be a historically accurate telling of how Arthur became a kind of England. Merlin has been ripped of his magic power, which is unfortunate, but the story is not a cheesy love story like First Knight, which is another retelling of the same story. Although aiming at history, they have forgotten that American English didn't develop until...well you get the idea...there are many small historical things that are mixed up. I think they would have been better off to just go with a fictional angle. It is mostly battle scenes, with some discussion about religion, especially Christianity and Rome, as well as what human freedom and destiny are. There is also some weird Middle Ages feminism going on, which makes the argument that since men and women are equal then historically women should be just as violent and angry as men have been portrayed.
