    There are some lack in the plot but not really bad. The visual and cinematography is so beautiful.

    Finally saw this. It was good not great. Like I felt it was a shell of a movie, in the sense it missed a lot of "meat" that makes a movie, especially one like this good. Nonetheless I love the cast, and the visuals. Like I said I watched it and I enjoyed it, but I felt something was missing throughout most of the movie.

    Director David Lowery crafts a love letter to Arthurian cinema in The Green Knight. Breathtaking cinematography, impeccable sound design, and a richly crafted medieval atmosphere transport viewers to a bygone era. Dev Patel delivers a sensational central performance, anchoring this captivating exploration of legend and legacy.

    It was visually impressive, but there were too many scenes that failed to move the plot or develop characters. It was just a bit of a mess.

    Beautiful. Haunting. Visceral. Though-provoking. Weird in the right ways.

    It's long, a tad meandering at times, and a lil confusing for your average audience member. But the beautiful cinematography, the themes, the lore of the magic/worldbuilding, and Dev Patel's acting more then makeup for it. I'm pretty forgiving on boring movies, especially when they're boring in a meditative way like this one, and this movie has a LOT going for it. Although the ending left me a little lost when I first watched it, but the longer I thought about it the more expansive, redemptive, and beautiful it became. Also Dev Patel's acting does so much for this movie. In a sense the movie hinges on his ability to play this character as both deeply flawed and deeply sympathetic, and he kills it. And he looks great while doing it. If you go in with some patience and a forgiving attitude to ambiguity, you're going to find a movie with themes that will stay with you long after the movie ends.

    Took me a week of valiant effort trying to make it through this movie. It was about an hour too long for the amount of storytelling there was. So darn slow, I just couldn't stay awake! The only way I finally made it through was by fast forwarding 10 seconds at a time through the torturously slow and often dark and hard to see scenes. Big ups to the filmmaker being able to get people behind their vision, but it's a no for me dawg.

    Excellent visually with good performances from the supporting cast. However, I didn't find the protagonist intriguing or likable enough to be more than indifferent to the outcome of the story.

    Very slow. Pretty uneventful throughout. A very weak adaptation of the original tale unfortunately. The artistic rendering was nice, but it wasn't enough to make it good.
