Guy Ritchie and Charlie Hunnam Tried and Failed To Launch an Epic New Franchise With This Fantasy Action Movie
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is a far more entertaining film than its box office underperformance would suggest.

There are many characters that exist within the public domain, meaning that any filmmaker or studio can create a new adaptation without having to officially acquire the rights. King Arthur and the stories of Camelot have been adapted to the screen countless times, with all-time classics like the musical Camelot, the timeless satire Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and the '80s fantasy epic Excalibur being just a few examples.
