comment
Anachronism Stew: As is not uncommon with Arthurian adaptations, the look of the movie is distinctly more modern than it ought to be. Notably enough Arthur uses Henry IV's coat of arms, historically not used until almost a millennium after Arthur is supposed to have lived.

False Flag Operation: Edmund dresses his soldiers up as Saxons (while also being allied to the actual Saxons) so that people won't suspect he was the one who overthrew Arthur.

Adapted Out: Arthur, Excalibur, Camelot, Merlin, and a Saxon invasion force are the only Arthurian elements used, the rest is nowhere to be seen.

Color-Coded Armies: Conveniently, the final battle is between Pendragon-loyal forces in blue and Saxon invaders in red.

Excalibur in the Stone: Excalibur is identified with the sword Arthur drew from the stone, making only the rightful ruler able to draw it from its scabbard.
