[King Arthur] These pictures look reeeally cool!

Anyways, let's not nit pick on this thing when we its more fun to nit pick on Lancelot's helmet.

That's not his helmet! That's Madmartigan's helmet! I swear!

I am not insane! Do you hear me? I AM NOT INSANE... MWUAHAHAHA!!!

PS: It's Madmartigan's helmet.

PPS: Actually, I'm wrong. I am insane, and it's not Madmartigan's helmet. But geez doesn't it look stupid?

I remember liking Beverly Hills Cop when I was, like thirteen. I would give it another chance, but I'm skeptical. But every other film on that list? Yeah, sucked.

Really? Top Gun, for example, sucked? Remember the Titans sucked? Interesting.

Come on, Cat People? Kangaroo Jack?

Yes, he has made some bad films.

One of the things to consider that even if you approve of some of those films, the fact remains that Mr. Bruckheimer is EASILY (I would even say EFFORTLESSLY) capable of producing astonishingly bad films. So seeing his name in the credits of a film, while you might say to yourself, "Hey, this might be every bit as good as The Rock (I wouldn't, but you might)!", you also need to keep in mind that it might be every bit as bad as Gone In Sixty Seconds.

Yes, he can produce bad films. However, it seems that many here are saying "man, if Bruckheimer is involved then the film must be a suckfest!" In point of fact, in a long career, Bruckheimer has many better than average to good films under his belt, many more than most people who have produced fantasy style films.

I must admit that if you said "Jerry Bruckheimer" to me a little while ago, I would have said, "Who?" I had not connected him with any film except PotC.

Until I saw the list.

Then I realized that I, unlike most people, have only liked a single film of his.

Personally, I am much, much more worried because of the standard Curse Of Arthurian Films rather than the specific director. So far I have seen two pictures, one I rather like (Arthur) the other I can't stand (Guenivere). I have heard zero about the plot other than it is supposed to be "historical" (whatever that means in an Arthurian context). I will go see it because I go to see all Arthurian films (even ones I know will be bad); I am just not overly anticipating due to the general run, not of Mr. Bruckheimer's work, despite my reservations, but rather due to the run of slightly-below-mediocre to dead-awfulness that is most Arthurian films.

You do realize that this officially makes you the only person I have ever dealt with who did not like The Ref.

Top Gun is a great example of a sucky film. It sucks for all sorts of reasons. If you wanted to show somebody a sucky film and have tons of suckiness to talk about, you could choose worse than Top Gun.

Remember the Titans sucked? Interesting.

Didn't see it. Mm, football movie. Thanks, I'll stick to swordfighting.

But I do not claim to have made an exhaustive study of Mr. Bruckheimer's films.

Yes, he has made some bad films.

We appear to be in agreement.

In point of fact, in a long career, Bruckheimer has many better than average to good films under his belt, many more than most people who have produced fantasy style films.

We define "many" differently. I certainly approach any film with Bruckheimer's name attached to it with great caution.

Link this with the "Arthur Curse" mentioned previously, and there is cause for some alarm.

But I'm not saying "Bruckheimer" is a sure sign of crap. I'm just saying it's NO sign of quality.

You mean Sorsha's helmet don't you?

Here's the word from Clive Owen (who I have no complaints about and consider a thoroughly good actor -- one point in favour of this film):

I play Arthur, who is half-Roman, he's a commander of a crack team of military knights who, at the beginning of the movie, gets the mission from hell.

I just need to point out the phrase, "crack team of military knights."

And one more time:

"Crack team of military knights."

Alrightie then.

Whats wrong with him clarifying the type of knight?

After all it could quite easily be a story about the famous florist knights of Venice or the ancient order of Cardiff pacifist pizza delivery knights. I know how disapointed if I went to see a film about these and it turned out to have a bunch of military knights in it.

Of course, you also have to remember that Orlando Bloom called his character in Lord of the Rings "an assassin" in some interview that was packaged with the Fellowship DVD. Just because the actor's a bonehead off screen doesn't mean much.

 

[barsoomcore]

True enough.

"crack team of military knights"
