I think that this movie was definitely intense, dark, and bloody. The beginning fight scene was so violent I had to look away several times as people were killed in really gruesome ways. I believe that this movie should have an 'R' rating.

Interesting
King Arthur was amazing not only for it's interesting historical perspective, but for it's graphic violence. Some scenes made LOTR seem benign.

Beautiful people
The actors in this movie are (almost) all gorgeous people.
I liked the movie, but it wasn't one I would rave about to my friends.
The overall mood was "dark", as were most of the scenes -- like a perpetually cloudy/stormy day. There is very little to smile about, and I think there are only a couple of scenes where someone actually DOES smile.
The "ice" scene was pretty good. Pretty strategic in the battle scene. All battles were pretty intense; however, it was not nearly as graphic as Mel Gibson's "highlander" movie years ago. (I'm sorry -- the title escapes me).
The sexual content is mild -- more suggestive than graphic.
The guy who plays the leader of the Saxons is probably THE WORST actor I've seen in a while. It was so bad I almost laughed. He was mean and heartless, but he wasn't very convincing otherwise. I think any High School actor could have pulled it off as well.
I do think it might offer some educational value in the historical sense; to visualize how barbaric people were in that day and age. And how easily jerks can take charge and make life miserable for the commoners. There are lessons about loyalty and commitment and also about where to draw the line with that loyalty.
I would probably let my teens (16 and 13) see it. I would probably rent it.

Some parts cool, some parts can,t believe they got paid
Violence I very expected and not an issue. Problems are some of the worst acting I've seen, but in some sceenes some of the greatest and true battle tactics. Get Netflix or Blockbuster to see it.
