Ranking All The Major SDCC 2016 Movie Trailers From Worst To Best

10. King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword

Nobody asked for a Guy Ritchie King Arthur film, but nevertheless it's been threatening on the horizon for the past couple of years with a summer 2017 spot. And now it has a trailer that looks exactly like we all expected.

The first half actually looks really interesting: with Charlie Hunnam's Arthur jokily explaining him and his "lads" escapades to Roose Bolton, it feels like a Guy Ritchie film, rather than a film with Guy Ritchie's name on it. Then we get to the sword in the stone and the actual mythology side, however, and it all goes to pot, looking ultimately like a very drab, periodically-confused film (why is Arthur wearing Bane's coat?). There's demon-eyed Jude Law and a cool zoom on Littlefinger firing an arrow and a worried-looking Eric Bana, but the only thing that's really awe-inspiring is how Ritchie got such a good cast together for what looks like such a bland take on a done concept.

The trailer is really selling two different things, one that could be very interesting but that gets overshadowed by generic fantasy. It came in the middle of Warner Bros. panel and certainly got the most tepid reaction, although there's really nowhere it could have been a hit.
