Bargain! Three watches that won’t break the bank
Three classy yet affordable watches that show that high price tags don’t necessarily mean better quality
Guy Ritchie must really hate being Guy Ritchie right about now.
Following on from the box-office bomb that was The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015), the mockney director has served up another stinker with King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
I’m probably one of the few people in the world who has seen the film. I didn’t hate it – it was a mix of Game of Thrones and Snatch, Game of Snatch, if you will – but it wasn’t very good, either.
So unsurprisingly, it’s bombing hard, which is particularly galling for all concerned with the production, as it cost – wait for it – US$175 million to make and tens of millions more on marketing. A rags-to-Ritchie-to-rags story.
The point I’m rather inelegantly trying to make is that throwing a tonne of money at something isn’t necessarily going to make it better, that price tags aren’t always indicative of quality and, finally, that Ritchie shouldn’t be given that much money to make a film ever again; no such luck, though – he’s already directing a live-action version of Aladdin, everyone’s childhood be damned.
