The KJV is the standard, but really is hard to read. And as for being uncorrupted, you should be aware that it was translated from a very late and not particularly good Greek version (speaking of New Testament). For an interesting history of the New Testament and its many versions, see Metzger, "The Text of the New Testament" 3rd Ed. (Oxford, 1992).

There is no disagreement that it was translated from more recent manuscripts. The disagreement is over which manusripts are of better quality, and even the critical texts. Older is not necessarily better.
