king arthur

[roninblade]

di ko din nagustuhan yung movie!

1. the saxons invaded from the south not the north. hindi sila mass invasion with grand armies like the movie. they migrated little by little over time. the people from the north were the picts and the scots.

2. the allies of arthur were the welsh... and they mostly didn't paint themselves and were not as savage as what they were portrayed in the movie.

3. the armies of rome wasn't recalled in such a short time... it was a gradual process and it was not known for a long time outside britain that the legions of rome are no longer present in the country.

4. the headquarters of rome was in london and the supposed location of camelot was near present day city of Bath. they were never near Hadrian's wall.

5. how can you shoot a shortbow from a distant hill and still hit somebody hiding in a tree at the other side of hadrian's wall? shortbow lang yun... buti sana kung composite bow or longbow na gamit ng mga welsh... baka maniwala pa ako.

6. the only historical character i know in the movie was germanicus, the ex-legionnaire holy man. but his character was also protrayed poorly.

7. yeah, the fight scenes were good. the cinematography was similar to the warcraft 3 FMVs but they were nowhere near the lord of the rings quality.

the movie is a total disappointment especially for people like me who has a little bit more background on the story.
