Cursed (2020)
1/10
Merde
24 July 2020
A couple of weeks after white actors had to resign from voicing black characters in cartoons, a black actor plays Britain's most legendary hero, King Arthur. He then tells the "haters" to "educate themselves"... perhaps as to why such racially motivated double-standards are perfectly fine in today's messed up world?

Fortunately, Arthur is not yet the king... unfortunately, the story opts to make, The Lady of the Lake - pretty much a sub-character in the myths - into the leading role and, also obvious given today's world, as a butt-kicking heroine. Sigh. One may wonder as to why the creators didn't just make a programme about an Amazon - if they wanted the modern cliche of tough women - or of Boudicea - if wanting to set it in Britain - as opposed to reinventing femininity... but, well, who cares, right?

All of the above aside, WOW, is this bad! I hate all this woke crap being forced upon us, but man, modern writers really need to stop focusing on sending messages and go back to learning how to write dialogue! Almost every line is *CRINGE* and the talent of the performers makes me wonder if I imagined the entire #metoo movement, as there's only one way those two leads could have ever gotten their parts!

Bad writing, worse acting and subliminal, political messaging aside, there's not really much to recommend, aside STAY AWAY FROM THIS HORRIBLE MESS.

Yes, I'm "shouting". Please listen.
