The Medieval Action Movie Everyone’s Watching on Netflix

King Arthur: The Legend of the Sword recently hit the Netflix catalog in the United States, with many customers rushing to see the feature film. It turned a medieval blockbuster into a hit on the streaming giant.

In Brazil, King Arthur: A Legend of the Sword is also available on Netflix, but for a longer time. It was successful when it came here and there.

Directed by Guy Ritchie, King Arthur: The Legend of the Sword brings a fresh perspective to the story of King Arthur, played here by Charlie Hunnam from Sons of Anarchy. A summary with more details can be read below.

“Arthur is a street young man who is unaware of his predestination until he first comes into contact with Excalibur.”

“Challenged with the sword, he needs to master the power he possesses to make difficult decisions, face his demons and unite his people and fight the tyrannical Vortigern who destroyed his family.”

Despite its success on Netflix, King Arthur: The Legend of the Sword did not do well at the box office when it opened in theaters.

With a sizable budget, it failed to gross $150 million at the box office, resulting in a loss for Warner Bros.

Experts called the feature “sluggish” and criticized the change in story. Still, it’s worth checking out if you’re a fan of Guy Ritchie’s work.

Remember, as of Warner Bros., King Arthur: The Legend of the Sword is not exclusive to Netflix. So it is possible that it will be removed from the catalog soon.

In Brazil, King Arthur: A Legend of the Sword is available on Netflix.
