I saw it Wednesday, opening night. I say that unless you are dying to see the battle scenes on the big screen, wait until it comes out on video.

While I liked that it dealt with Arthur in his likely-historial context, Anton Fuqua's directing/storytelling stunk! He did a terrible job of explaining who Arthur really was (aka - why he ended up fighting for/with the Woads). Also, some of the dialog was mumbled and certain important pieces were not clear.

I happened to see the History Channel's special about the history of Arthur and it was a large part of why I was interested and understood what was going on.
