King Arthur
The story of the Arthurian legend, based on the 'Sarmatian hypothesis' which contends that the legend has a historical nucleus in the Sarmatian heavy cavalry troops stationed in Britain, and that the Roman-British military commander, Lucius Artorius Castus is the historical person behind the legend.

The film drops to its lowest point with heavy-handed religious revelations before surging to its peak with the innovative frozen lake battle sequence.
King Arthur receives mixed reception with reviewers appreciating the gritty realism and battle sequences while criticizing stilted dialogue and historical liberties. The film peaks with creative action set pieces like the frozen lake battle but suffers from predictable plotting and wooden character development. Overall sentiment reflects a competently made but flawed attempt at reimagining the Arthurian legend.
