  • otsutsuki The film begins with two young women walking down a dark street in Camelot while they are pursued by a group of drunks and would-be rapists, King Arthur narrates the story saying that in the two years since he took over the kingdom, crime has dropped because now, the bad guys have to fear as the King has become a symbol of bringing fear to the bad guys, and when the rapists surround the girls they scream for help and just when we think the worst is going to happen, we hear someone's footsteps coming from the darkness and the theme on the loudest, when we see King Arthur with a deep look and a serene look, an expression of fear takes over the bad guys that attack him and he quickly defeats them all (the battle is kind of similar to Blaviken Market Fight Scene from The Witcher), he returns to the Castle where his mother confronts him about his "actions" and says that he and his father would be very proud of the King Arthur is becoming, she even tells him that "A wise king never seeks out war . But, he must always be ready for it", so we see for the first time Morgan Le Fay and her "lover" Accolon attacking and decimating the Kingdom of Camelerd, as a last step King Leodegrance sends his daughter to Camelot to ask for Arthur's help, she manages to escape but her father is captured by Morgan, Guinevere then leaves for Camelot upon arriving in Camelot she is attacked by two soldiers she manages to defeat one and Sir Bedireve appears and defeats the other, she explains the situation to Sir, who takes her to Igraine and Arthur, she explains the situation and ends up having a faint, Arthur goes to Merlin, she says she has heard her father comment on Morgan and says that the situation is the worst possible, in Camelerd Morgan and Accolon torture the King but he doesn't say where her daughter has gone, but Morgan enters her mind and finds she has left for Camelot.

  • devahutiraichaliha It'd be interesting to see Merlin as a female; and Helena Bonham Carter would also have been my first choice as Morgana!

  • misterwolf @otsutsuki Generally Positive: my praise is aimed at it's action sequences, personality, and storyline. My criticism is aimed at its formulaic script and lack of drama compared to the first film. Other than that, it works.

  • loading Interesting, I just wish the director was someone with a more open mind "in terms of breaking out of the cliché". So I would recommend putting Jon Watts to work in that kind of area, to give something more innovative about the character and the story itself.

  • castingsinmyblood Once again, good work but I do feel Giacchino is the weak link in the chain here.
  • screenwritersjournal Cast looks good
  • artchie28 Again, your plot surprised me.
  • jfrankly Story is good. The only thing I might change is switching Guinevere and Merlin. I don't see Olsen in the role, but that's just my opinion. Good job over all though.
  • mcgee You have talent, your story is great.
  • samkresil @otsutsuki Yeah, I took a brief look at your King Arthur 2 story and though I didn't get a chance to look at the FULL story, I like how you added a few more new additions. But since I didn't get to read the entire script of the first film, I could maybe add a few more additions to your story since the cast looks minimal in comparasion.
