1st watched 3/5/2022 - 4 out of 10 (Dir - ???): Documentary-style beginning of a telling of a young King Arthur who tries to bring together warring lands into one peaceful union of southern part of what we now call England. He uses unusual means including the tactful retreat(run-away per Monty Python fame), and other shrewd methods that are not the most noble. This movie is actually a compilation of BBC television programs pasted together into a movie, and it comes across that way sometimes with each episode intertwined by dialogue. Arthur begins the movie as a chieftain with a few loyal friends. The other lands are feuding with them initially, and he brings them together to fight one enemy. His methods are at many times deceitful, which kind of turned me against him. Examples include one episode where he messes up a marriage to get more land, and another one where he promises treasure where there isn't any to get help to rescue his friends. This may work for a sitcom, but not a historical movie. This one is to bypassed if you don't want to learn terrible ways to be a leader.
