Read the user reviews and had to see for myself. I agree with most of them. This was so boring. The acting is really bad. Very light on action. Extremely unconvincing sword play. Arthur charachter is weak and horribly presented. Merlin is not in it for more than 5 min total. Felt like someone had some money to waste and wanted to make a high school production on film. Just skip this one.

This is one of those annoying films. It has a rating of 7.4 (at time of writing) and yet the very highest user review rating is 3 stars! - I wish I had read the reviews first....
The good:
...*.......*......*....
(that's a tumble-weed moving across the screen)
The bad:
Well.... to quote a fellow reviewer "bloody awful".
Its constantly dark/dreary (like the film)
Its soooo boring, I had to reach for the FFD button a lot to get to the end
The pacing is terrible, and there is so much slow fluff going on that I could not be bothered to concentrait hard enough to really follow any of it... but basically the story is King Arthur comes home and takes control back off his naughty son (who probably has a point btw) - and that's really it.
The king is the most annoying whiny-arse... why would anyone follow him. To be fair he does tell people this all the time, but they are like: "we will follow you to the end" and crap like that...
Did I mention it is very boring?
I did not enjoy the screen time of any actor at all - not one, and that is rare... well, possibly merlin, but then he only had about 3 lines - yet its called Arthur AND merlin??? - it should be called "Arthur whines a lot"
ehhh... I am too bored to remember the rest...

The plot is all over the place, the acting is terrible, and I couldn't even make it to the end. An hour in I had to abort.

I was fooled by the rating. Should have read reviews. 90 minutes (not all because I walked the dog) lost forever..:

The acting was poor. The writing was poor. The actors had to have family boosting the ratings. This had to be one of the worst King Arthur movies I've ever seen.

I wonder who got the weird idea to tag this movie as a comedy since it's absolutely not in any way shape or form, not even with a second degree of lecture. And worst, this not even a good movie at all.... Not a good swordfight in it , no interesting plot , no attaching character,..... This movie is boring as hell and the only good news is that it last only for 90 min wich feel already like 180 min. Maybe you're a fan of the Arthurian mythology, well you'd better avoid watching this because like me you won't find nothing a bout it in that piece of crap.

The only redeeming quality to this garbage movie is the sweet release of the credits.

This movie has nothing to do with the story of Camelot and is such a waste creative effort what little there is here.

This is surely one of the worst movies of 2020. Everything about it is way below average. The acting and fight scenes sucked, and the plot is just utter rubbish. Watching this movie to the end will only leave you regretting.

I have an affection for low-budget literary adaptations that show a passion for the source material or a fresh point of view.
This film has neither.
It doesn't even exhibit any zeal for film making.
The actors are utterly failed by this.

I don't know that the director even watched this terrible movie that is made by himself. Very bad
