OH SCRIPT, WHERE ARE THOU?


It isn’t true that everything is bad in today’s high end Hollywood production. There are still some great men behind the camera, capable of filming a suspenseful and innovative scene/sequence/movie. Guy Ritchie is one of those naturally gifted directors, whose editing cut, camera and lens can still surprise us so deep into the 21st century.

There are also some still decent actors, capable of carrying out their roles they were meant to, even if they were mediocre up until now (i.e. Jude Law).

CGI, production and soundtrack makers were never the issue.

So, what is the main problem with modern blockbuster coming from the other side of the Atlantic?

Script, script, script.

There aren’t any good ones left. If there were, story about King Arthur, his sword and the Knights of the Round table wouldn’t be so trashy and written for the population with special needs. Which is really a shame, because Guy Ritchie otherwise made a really decent action historical/SF spectacle that could’ve been capable of satisfying even a more demanding viewer.

„King Arthur: The legend of the sword” is a good movie with an awful script.
