Guy Ritchie's editing style should only be used for three minute music videos


I found several parts of the film to be unwatchable due to Ritchie's hyperkinetic editing style. A movie full of quick cuts doesn't allow for character/plot development and could possibly cause seizures for some members of the audience. I wish an established director would have done the King Arthur movies. Ritchie should stick to action movies with minimal dialogue or three minute music videos.

I agree. I hate all elements of what I call the "ADHD style" of filmmaking: shaky cam, lens flare, quick cuts and very tight shots. It's like they are playing a game of peek-a-boo with the audience.
