'King Arthur: Legend of the Sword' Trailer Is Full of Bonkers Medieval Action

This is not your classic King Arthur story. Nope, "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword" is Guy Ritchie's typically bonkers take on the medieval tale of the sword in the stone, knights, and the Lady of the Lake.

A new trailer dropped yesterday, the first good look at the movie since a teaser reel at last summer's Comic-Con. And it's a Ritchie-esque as anything the director's ever done, very stylized and very violent.

Charlie Hunnam stars as Arthur, the lost son of the previous king, who returns to challenge his uncle (Jude Law) for the throne. What follows are some epic battles, slowed-down hand-to-hand combat, and even winding street chases.
