Well since they are totally different stories overall, and in film making style, who knows.But Alexander has the added bonus of Angelina Jolie 🙂
I really actually enjoyed King Arthur, fun movie with a beautiful score by Hans Zimmer.
I see good in most movies, I rarely say a movie is extremely horrible.
If there are a few things in a film I like, it's very hard for me to dislike it.
King Arthur I thought was fun, not brilliant, fun.
My friend loved it, interested in the stories of King Arthur, and he was very happy with how they made the movie.

Action packed war..
Did you see the same "King Awful" as me? I saw 3 cliched, slow motion, boring "battle" scenes.

Given her latest string of "hits" in "Taking Lives", "Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life", "Beyond Borders", and "Original Sin", this is far from a bonus. It's more like a demerit.

Why do you think it as worst of the year? yeah the acting is mediocre in places, but apart from that...?
The whole movie was less than mediocre, IMO. It was like "Lord of the Rings Lite". It was very cliched. A bunch of brutish warriors, an opening, middle, and end battle with a bunch of boring filler dialogue in the middle.
Glad someone enjoyed it. Atleast there won't be a sequel.
If these two movies were playing at the same time, and i had to pick one to see,knowing nothing about the king arthur or alexander history/mythology i would choose Alexander. there are simple reasons that alexander will be a far better movie, This is an experienced renowned director. The filmakers are not trying to be groundbreaking, or artistic through a modern feel.This aspect is'nt always a bad thing, i am all for being creative and innovative, but this formula usually always mixes well with period peices. Alexander is an actual character and not an accepted myth.
I am not saying that alexander will be a good movie, i have my doubts amd am not very enthralled to see it. I believe the cast in this movie is staggeringly overated,but it has a superb director, and with great directing the worst acting can be passed off as good. I bel;ieveKing Arthur had good acting, but unfortunately with a poor script and direction, the movie fell apart disaterously .

no we saw the same...diference is..is didnt go to see keira knightly.
actually i didn't go to see her either, I went to see the movie and I take that as an offense that you would assume that I go to movies for the eye candy. Yes she is very pleasent to the eye but that is not the reason i went to see King Arthur. It was a good movie, yes it was drawn out at times but overall it was a good movie.
