10 Big 2017 Movies Destined To Flop
10. King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword
With King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword Guy Ritchie is trying to meld a bizarre hybrid of his cockney geezer romps and a fantasy epic, which will reinvent Arthur as a lovable petty criminal destined to be King.
The first in a planned series of six movies certainly looks like it's getting showered with money, but it also looks bloated and unwieldy. It’s full of the director’s trademark flashy camera gimmicks, yet this meshing of epic and typical Guy Ritchie lark feels awkward. It definitely feels like one of the more unique blockbusters on the horizon, but that hasn’t translated to anyone being excited for it yet.
Reaction to the trailer was mostly bewilderment, and poor Charlie Hunnam has yet to find a movie role the equal of Sons Of Anarchy. It’s got a fantastic supporting cast and the studio will no doubt give it a big push, but that six movie plan is looking optimistic right now.
