Notes: Above all, it was such a misguided idea to make yet another movie about King Arthur. I mean, seriously, there have been already so many movies about this story and its character and, even though Ritchie did manage to recycle Sherlock Holmes (which was in fact slightly overrated), he obvisously didn't succeed here in providing anything new or really interesting about this classic tale. Well, this movie was supposed to be the first installment of a planned six-film series. Seriously, I don't understand why they make such an announcement before a movie is even released. I mean, they could say 'If the movie is successful, we might have some ideas for a sequel'. Anyway, this movie turned out to be one of the biggest box-office bombs in 2017 so we won't see any of these 5 sequels. 
“Even though this movie turned out to be a box-office flop, since I have seen all the other movies directed by Guy Ritchie, I was still eager to check it out. Well, eventually, I didn't care much for the damned thing, I'm afraid. Indeed, first of all, it was such a misguided idea to make yet another ” read more

“It’s another movie I wanted to watch for so many years, I think at least 15 years, so I was really eager to check it out and I had some rather high expectations. Well, to be honest, even though I always had a weak spot for movies dealing with con artists, I still struggled to really get into this ” read more

@The O.P.,
Sure, they pushed it too far and I really had the feeling that I was watching some kind of geriatric version of Jason Bourne.
A Complete Review of Brett Ratner's work (12 movies items)
chosen by Bea
Notes: Well, even though the majority of the film club really enjoyed this movie, to be honest, I really struggled to care about the damned thing. I mean, the Argentinian landscapes were gorgeous, I really liked these characters thanks to some solid performances from the cast but, eventually, this story didn't really work for me. Seriously, I felt bad for this poor woman who seemed to be already so sad and, suddenly, she also lost her bag with all her belongings and the only reason why was that, otherwise, she wouldn't meet this guy and there wouldn't be any story to tell which was rather mean. Then, to make things worse, this bag remained a main issue through the whole thing just to provide an excuse for the characters to spend more time together. Well, I thought it was some rather poor story telling and I wish they would have found some other way for us to spend some time with these otherwise interesting characters.

“Even though Michael Cimino had been blacklisted throughout most of his career, I always had a weak spot for his work so I was really eager to check his directing debut. Well, eventually, the whole thing was just too damned random and chaotic to ever really work but its massive randomness was also qu” read more
