Video: 76

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword exhibits solid 1080p/AVC-encoded Blu-ray quality with deep blacks, restrained and muted colors, and detailed textures despite some minor banding. Shot on Arri Alexa cameras, the film's desaturated palette and cinematic clarity maintain a somber, dreamlike aesthetic.

Audio: 78

Warner delivers an engaging Dolby Atmos track on Blu-ray, distinguished by immersive effects and powerful bass, despite some limitations in active overhead sounds. Dialog clarity shines, though heavy accents may challenge viewers. The track supports a dynamic range fitting well within the source material.

Extra: 51

The extras for "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" offer an in-depth exploration of the film’s technical and logistical feats, emphasizing Charlie Hunnam’s dynamic performance, Guy Ritchie’s modern take on the Arthurian legend, intensive swordplay training, detailed medieval set designs, complex stunt choreography, and picturesque Scottish locations.

Movie: 43

Guy Ritchie's 'King Arthur: Legend of the Sword' showcases his lively style with rapid dialogue and frenetic visuals but falters due to a convoluted script, erratic pacing, and lackluster performances, notably from Charlie Hunnam. Despite its ambitious $175 million budget, the film's blending of mythological sources and cinematic flair didn’t translate to box office success.
