I agree. I never take the criticts word for anything. Most of the time I feel they are wrong about the movies they review, so if it interests me I'll go see it.

However, for the history lesson. I am aware that there is some historical fact in the Arthur ledgend. The problem that I have read about (as I have not seen the film so I am going on reviews and also my parents reviews, who I trust more than the critics) is that the film didn't stay true to the historical fact. For instance, "Arthur" should not have been called "Arthur", he should have been called "Arturius" or something along those lines.

While I don't have a BA in History, it seems to me that the problem here is that the film was poorly researched.

But like I said before, I still want to see it. If nothing else, it does look entertaining, and isn't that what movies are really about?
