Just saw a new commercial for that "Arthur The King" dog movie that, instead of teasing what the movie is about like the previous ads, just said "We know what you're thinking, but don't worry: this king lives."

Idk if that was a play on King Arthur or to appeal to frequent doesthedogdiedotcom visitors, but *chef's kiss* truly the peak of marketing strategy. Give that team a raise. Make them in charge of all movie trailers from now until the end of time.

Arthur The King Review

Eeeey it's the Mahky Mahk dahg movie! Funnily enough, I've had the exact opposite pre-experience with Arthur the King than I've had with a movie like Imaginary. Which is to say I saw the poster, we showed the trailer, but as soon as it came out there was crickets. I haven't looked, but I also haven't heard a single thing about the movie. I was not looking forward to this, even though the trailer was good. One, I am vehemently a cat person. And two, I hate Mark Wahlberg. He's a racist asshole who can't act.

What's The Movie About?

Marky Mark is a runner who is competing in the Adventure Games in the Dominican Republic. Along the way his team finds a stray dog that follows them throughout the race.

What I Like.

The racing, mostly. If you remember that show the Amazing Race, it was kinda like that except it's in one location and all the participants are suicidal. Simu Liu plays a jerk, but he's so goddamn charismatic that I liked him despite that. The locations they shoot at are also very pretty. I liked that they didn't translate any of the Spanish in the movie, so if you didn't speak the language than you just had to pick things up through context clues.

What I Didn't Like.

Funnily enough, my two biggest problems are Mark Wahlberg and the dog. I'll say it again, Marky Mark cannot fucking act. His character is pig-headed and stubborn, and it's revealed at one point that he spent all of his wife's savings to run this super dangerous race. And she tells him at the end of the movie that she's pregnant! (Marky Mark also doesn't know what poor people are, since he's in dire financial straits but he still owns a pretty nice house in the mountains with a pool and eats steak for dinner every night.) This movie has a hilarious ego trip scene where Marky Mark carries two bikes and an adult woman across a zipline in one go like he's a goddamn super soldier or some shit. Speaking of unintended hilarity, there were several moments where something that was supposed to be dramatic was happening, and but I had to stop myself from bursting out laughing. Funnily enough, almost all the dramatic moments had the super obvious product placement happening during them. I usually don't mention product placements in movies (because that's what the companies want) but I want Nissan to be forever associated with the line, "My dad has cancer!" Both of the women characters all suck. The first is Marky Mark's wife, who not only is the breadwinner of the house, but literally just exists to support her husband as he tries to get himself killed. The other is one of the team members in the race, and her deal is daddy issues. She also weirdly gets coddled throughout the movie (She's the one who has to get saved on the zipline.) even though she's clearly the team member in the best shape. The camera work, additionally, sucks. It along with the editing are incredibly inconsistent. Sometimes it's shot in standard, sometimes it's clearly hand held, other times it's back-to-back drone shots. Sometimes you can see how the racers are running and where they are going, other times it's impossible to parse because of close-ups of Marky Mark's face and, of goddamn course, shaky cam! The structure of the movie as a whole is like that. One second everyone is buddy-buddy, then at a turn of a dime everyone is yelling at each other, then the dime turns again and its back to quips and goofs.

Finally, let's talk about that stupid dog. The dog is cute. Whatever. You might think from the trailer that the entire movie is gonna be Marky Mark's team running with this dog, but the dog doesn't even meet the team until halfway through the movie. We still see him, but's it's just shots of him wandering around the slums getting chased by other dogs in goofy scenes. Once he joins up with the team it's mostly fine, but then the ending happens. The ending was so saccharine that I got a cavity. I kinda hate that I watched with movie with other patrons in the theater, because I have never wanted to yell, "Just kill the damn dog already!" more in my life. The ending is nonsense. They pretend this dog is gonna die like three times, and he never fucking does. I know this makes me sounds like a miserable bastard, but that dog should've died. "But the dog survived in real life!" Shut up Buggnutz. Stories based on real events change things around all the time. I'm sure the real runner carried a woman and two bikes across a fucking zipline. "The ending is a tearjerker!" Is it? Because I wasn't crying. I was tapping my foot on the floor waiting for this movie to wrap up.

Final Summation.

I can see some people liking this movie. It's a feel good piece about a dog, maybe for you that makes up for the fact that Mark Wahlberg made and stars in this movie. But I wrote in my notes "If they pull a happy ending out of their ass I'm rejecting this movie", so unfortunately my hands are tied.

Arthur the King (2024) Review

potential spoilers ahead...

This movie has absolutely breathtaking cinematography, especially for a "based on true story" movie. Typically, you'd expect straight forward camera work in this type of movie, leaving the story to do the heavily lifting. But here, both the camera work and general framing do wonders in assisting the story and showing the extremity of nature and adventure racing. Though the praise is not limited to scenes/shots focused on the location, it's obviously, assisted by the downright amazing locations and settings. Despite this, they manage to elevate the shots and not just rely on the landscape and story. They take an already interesting story and elevate it to be further visually interesting.

As for the movie's story, I found it well paced with a good balance between character and story moments. The beginning does well to get you invested in the characters and the race. One character, Leo, has more notably good (and Realistic) development. And all the characters never felt overly dramatized. Even the 'Antagonists' were shown as people just being people, which isn't always the approach this type of story takes. Of course the movie is based on a true story, and from what I can tell the overall story is fairly accurate, although the real team is from Sweden, not America like in the movie(Espn). Many of the smaller details were also shifted to create a more compelling movie, none of which change the realness of Arthur and the impact he had on both the fictional and real teams (ScreenRant).

The whole race is interesting and reasonably suspenseful. Speaking of suspense, the best and most tense scene is easily the zip-line scene. It's intense, focused on the characters approaches to racing, and is an excellent example of the cinematography throughout the film. From what I can tell, this actual event was created for the movie and to heighten tension (ComicBook). Although learning it was filmed practically as opposed to green screen, definitely makes it even more suspenseful.

Arthur the King (2024)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Arthur the King has one scene with multiple harsh camera flashes. This scene starts with an on-screen caption stating "West Hollywood" as the location, and ends after the line "Tell me you blew it."

Handheld cameras are frequently used, and they are often held by people who are running, creating a shaking effect. One sequence has intense peril at extreme heights.

Flashing Lights: 4/10. Motion Sickness: 8/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: Several scenes depict the uncomfortable sides of adventure trekking, including an on-screen peeling of a blister, and a vomit incident with 3-4 seconds of warning with body language. A dog is frequently involved in dangerous situations, both in the adventure and with its health.

Movie #11 of 2024: Arthur the King

So I got one of those AMC movie pass things as a gift, and AMC apparently does a thing where they show a movie that's not quite officially out yet but they don't tell you what it will be ahead of time. It's a mystery!

That's how I ended up watching a CGI dog out act Mark Wahlberg, which isn't surprising and this is definitely not a movie I would ever willingly watch.

In fact, looking at the poster, I'm pretty sure this is the exact same design for that Harrison Ford dog movie that came out in 2020. Did I ever tell you I was the finishing editor on promotional dog food spots for that movie? True exciting Hollywood story.

Uhh what were we talking about again? Oh right, Arthur the King I guess is fine and the dog isn't always CGI, but the facial expressions and noises it makes are definitely all super deep fake generative AI deageing-filter Irishman Al Pacino young face style.

It's only 90 minutes which is and I guess it is kinda cool that it's based on a true story which plays out during the end credits. What are the odds I pull the latest dog movie for mystery cinema? It's dumb and you'll think about your dead dog who died of a rare kidney cancer and almost cry the whole time, which is a very common thing that could happen to anyone watching this cheesy movie and not specifically me.
