how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 100 comments (73 from Reddit, 22 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) — 28 of them described how it moves.
➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing.

“Even if this pleasure were included in the ticket price for everyone who went to see King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, I would still not recommend this film to any of you. This movie is the equivalent of huffing keyboard duster. Yeah there's a bit of a high, but it's a cheap, empty, dirty one and after it's over you'll have a headache and wonder why you just spent money to voluntarily damage your brain.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews — the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
“The stylish and engrossing reinterpretation of the mythological king's early years lacks character development, but makes up for it with swashbuckling, sword-fighting, beast-slaying fun.”
Allen Salkin, New York Daily News · 80
“In its finest moments, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is swift and clever and exhilarating. At its low points, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword plays like a cheesy B-movie, with ridiculous monsters and unintentionally laugh-inducing moments.”
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times · 75
“With Legend of the Sword, the filmmaker isn’t remaking or adapting anything. This is his version of Arthur’s origin story and, if nothing else, it’s kinetic and attention-grabbing.”
James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 75
“King Arthur wants desperately to please, and it mostly succeeds.”
Katy Waldman, Slate · 70
“Ritchie’s ‘King Arthur’ is a pleasing big budget spectacle, oddly aligned to the filmmaker’s thematic interests and startlingly compatible with his signature razzle-dazzle style. In fact, the soggiest moments in the movie are the ones that adhere the closest to that ambitious multi-film strategy, lessening the fun, and emptying its impact.”

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
