How did you like the CGI? I saw the preview a couple of weeks ago and it didn't look real to me, which I why I didn't see it this weekend. To me the robots looked obviously computer generated.

After seeing the new flick "King Arthur" Saturday, I declared to my sister that the script writer should be taken out and shot! Also, the editor. The film was a good twice as long as need be to get the story across, and the lines, particularly those read by the Arthur character, were atrocious. When we returned home my sister showed me a text book with all the King Arthur legends, one chapter of which was written by Winston Churchill. I learned from a quick scan of that book that the setting and plot scenarios from King Arthur, legend that it is, were actually far closer to the probable truth than any of the other Arthur movies. However, I stand by my points of the first paragraph. The movie could have been great with a writer the caliber of, say, David Franzioni, who wrote the screenplay for Gladiator. Even I with a completely untrained eye could spot seconds, even minutes where the story could have been strengthened by snipping a scene, part of a scene, or even a few moments that had no meaning. Let alone stuff for which there was "just no time." I swear they put every frame they shot in the damn thing.
