It was better than a trailer I saw and it piqued my interest, but is it wrong of me to wonder in which part of England this took place in? There seems to be a significant departure from what I'd expect with a King Arthur flick. If you watch it, you've got to let me know if it's suitable for someone with a need for plot and substance like myself and not just an SFX extravaganza.
Yes...I suppose entertainment value will be high. And the elephants weren't even that big in Middle Earth! Even Sauron couldn't get his Olyphants to half that height. In one part of the clip, as the "elephant's" eye gleanmed yellow, I expected to see his eye shoot "freakin' laser beams".
Hahaha. Hollywood *always* wins, and I base this on the fact that I watch every single Transformers and Star Trek movie when they come out regardless of any logic.
I did watch it. To recommend something is to invite danger, but it was much better than I expected, I will buy it, and the trailers did not do the actual movie justice. I'll end with, it was not a Michael Bay extravaganza
Pin it!

It's definitely not wrong. Personally I would be watching this purely for the entertainment value.
I kind of threw out any hope of it being historically accurate and substance when I saw the 8-story tall fighting elephant ;)

I immediately thought this felt like it was set in a Middle Earth battle.

Haha. You know the Bugs Bunny cartoons when a character has an epiphany and suddenly turns into a sucker?.....
You nailed it.

"Better than expected" One way I find happiness is through having initial looooow expectations.
Your last line does the most to make me amenable to seeing it. I appreciate you posting the clip, btw.
