10 Hyped 2017 Movies That Will Definitely Disappoint You

4. King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword

Skull Island
Warner Bros.

The Hype: Guy Ritchie lends his stylistic flamboyance to another period romp as he offers up his take on the King Arthur legend. Charlie Hunnam plays the title character, and he's joined by Jude Law, Djimon Hounsou, Eric Bana, Aidan Gillen and...David Beckham.

Why It Will Disappoint: The trailer suggests an utterly mediocre Ritchie vehicle with tons of quipping, tiresome stylistic tricks and forgettable action sequences, including some howlingly awful CGI.

Though Ritchie's films always invite plenty of interest, and there's certainly potential for him to reinvent King Arthur as a franchise much as he did Sherlock Holmes, this one looks more by-the-numbers and low-effort than fun and stylish.
