The major problem with King Arthur is the sloppy editing. The fight scenes, I`m sure, were filmed properly yet the finished product looks liek a hybrid of Disney and TBS.

Finally a more realistic Arthur than Excalibur for the time period. Battle scenes are good.
I am not a satisfied customer. The major problem I have with the film is the HORRIBLE re-editing of the film, from R to PG.

What this does is ruin EVERY combat/death scene in the film. We see a sword, we see someone fall, there`s nothing in between. Usually, you don`t see who`s dying till the sc
