## Summary

Guy Ritchie’s *King Arthur: Legend of the Sword* has entered Netflix’s Top 10 most popular films, bringing renewed attention to the 2017 fantasy adventure. The film offers a fast-paced, stylised reinterpretation of Arthurian legend, with Charlie Hunnam as Arthur and Jude Law as his uncle and rival, Vortigern.

In the story, Vortigern betrays and kills Arthur’s father, Uther Pendragon, but the young Arthur survives and grows up away from the throne. When Excalibur draws him back, Arthur joins forces with a mage and confronts his uncle as he discovers his heritage and claim to rule. The film did not lead to a sequel and takes liberties with familiar Arthurian tales, but its action, score by Daniel Pemberton and distinctive vision of Camelot are highlighted as its strengths.
