King Arthur isn’t just any old story; it is one of those foundational myths of English identity that make you groan whenever you hear someone’s doing a new version – like Robin Hood or Sherlock Holmes or Winston Churchill. (Next up is Dev Patel in David Lowery’s delayed Arthurian head-trip The Green Knight, and even as we speak, news is breaking that Zack Snyder is working on a “faithful” King Arthur retelling). Arthur’s re-emergence at a time of national upheaval, less than a year after the Brexit referendum, was almost inevitable. How Guy Ritchie would refashion the story was equally inevitable: this Arthur, played by Charlie Hunnam, is a street-smart wide boy to be found ducking, diving and exchanging blokey bantz with the low-lifes of old Londinium taaaaan. His mates have nicknames like Wet Stick, Back Lack and Goosefat Bill. Yep, he totally Ritchies it up.
