10 Terrible Movies With One Redeeming Feature

The biggest box office bomb of 2017, Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword failed to even recoup its frankly-unnecessary $175m budget at the global box office. Which is nothing less than it deserves to be fair; Charlie Hunnam once again fails to convince as a leading man, the story is all over the place, David Beckham's cameo results in one of the worst acting performances ever committed to film and the ending substitutes Jude Law's hammy villainy for a weird CGI monster-type thing.

Completely ignoring the movie's many shortcomings, Daniel Pemberton's thumping score is nothing short of fantastic, and it wouldn't be hyperbole to name it as one of the year's best soundtracks. It's just a shame that it didn't come attached to a better project.

Instead of the usual generic orchestrals that come packaged with most summer blockbusters, Pemberton takes the music of King Arthur in an entirely different direction and incorporates a variety of different sounds into the score to create something fresh, exciting and more than a little reminiscent of Hans Zimmer's work on Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes franchise.

It speaks volumes about King Arthur: Legend of the Sword that the movie's only redeemable quality isn't even a visual or narrative one, and given its status as a colossal dud, a lot of people aren't even going to hear the composer's brilliant work.
