The film is a demystified take on the tale of King Arthur, a cavalry officer in the Roman army, and the Knights of the Round Table who defend Hadrian's Wall against rebellious Britons.
Guinevere, no dainty princess she, is a kind of hardened medieval feminist, and the aggressor to Arthur's bashful but equally driven warrior, in both bed and on the battlefield.

By going back to its origins and dusting itself off, the King Arthur story has proved itself to have a very contemporary resonance.
A brash departure from the legend that retains the round table, but that's about it. Still, the contemporary echoes make the Dark Ages relevant again and the movie, while longwinded in parts, overcomes its shortcomings.
A title card says this King Arthur, grimly directed by Antoine Fuqua, is based on the latest research into the mythic past. Maybe so. But one can't help thinking the research that really counted was that into the more recent box-office charts.
