Actors Charlie Hunnam and Poppy Delevingne pose at the European premiere of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword in London.

"King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" opens in the UK on May 19 and in the United States on May 12. The Guy Ritchie-directed movie sits at a low 26 percent on the review site-Rotten Tomatoes.

During the chat with Graham, Guy presented his leading man with a sword he had promised him during filming.

King Arthur follows a young Arthur, who had a tough upbringing in the back alleys of the city.

"I can see a love triangle hot spring threesome".

In this Arthur-world, King Uther (Eric Bana) was murdered by his traitorous brother Vortigern (Jude Law), who rules England with an iron fist. "Nobody has called me about playing James Bond, so I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen". "Hence you go out and learn how to fight". "I'd been in Sons of Anarchy and lost a lot of weight and it was a bit of a stumbling block to me getting the role because Guy had wanted a formidable Arthur".

I could go on about how I cared about Arthur's crew way more than I ever expected to, or how their big chase scene, where they all slide around nearly in unison, is one of the better chases I've seen in forever, but like, if you think this movie looks bad, watching it is certainly not going to dissuade you. Mostly, though, "Legend of the Sword" feels like a rather desperate attempt - in design, music, and even casting - to score some of that sweet, sweet "Game of Thrones" cash. It'll have to be a deal forged quickly however, with just one more set of episodes to be filmed for the final season before the series wraps for good.
