The kid who would be king

[MozzchopsThirty]

Has anyone else had the misfortune to sit through this??
Dear god it was poor
Poor acting
That finger clicking nonsense
About 45 minutes too long

I really enjoyed it as did my 10 year old DT’s. I think there was maybe one child actor who was pretty poor, but I don’t think the others were too bad, no worse than any of the child actors in the Harry Potter films.
We had watched Lego Movie 2 a few days before, that was rubbish, we much preferred this film.

We saw it last week and enjoyed it, lighthearted easy to watch film that has sparked an interest in King Arthur's history now

That finger clicking nonsense
About 45 minutes too long

Exactly what I said to my DH

it was ok I suppose, DD enjoyed

Yes ds2 enjoyed it to
But who thought the finger clicking was a good idea???

We all loved it, thought it was a really good family film. I was very impressed with the finger clicking and wished that I could do it myself

I won’t bother then. Shame. I was really excited. But I can guess the next craze that annoys teachers....

I loved it!

DS(7) really enjoyed it. He's moving away from cartoons into more sustained narratives.
I thought it was a good take / modernisation. Kid level acting fine, nothing lesser than anything on Nickelodeon, etc.
General visual quality was good. Based on the latter half of the Once and Future King (so not the Sword in the Stone and early Arthur/Merlin bit so much).

I loved it and I'm 39! My 7 year old DD also really enjoyed it and was completely gripped throughout.

I loved young Merlin too. He's played by Celia Imrie's son.

12 and 10yr old really enjoyed it.
So did I.

And the flaming skeleton knights had me worried .

DDs 10 and 14 loved it as did I - an easy to watch children's film that for once wasn't American

I quite liked it. It's an easy to watch family film.
There was perhaps a bit too much clicking and clapping at times but I'll let that go as I rather like Merlin and Arthur stories.

I missed this at the cinema and I was most miffed. Really looking forward to it coming out on Iplayer. Was about the only film I really wanted to see so far this year- I hope I'm not disappointed!

My 8 and 11 year old really enjoyed it! My 8 year old found Morgana and her warriors really quite creepy. We loved young Merlin, and have all been practising the finger clicking 🤞🏻

I loved young Merlin too. He's played by Celia Imrie's son.

Alex was played by Andy Serkis son... DS tell everyone that he's Gollum's kid 🤣🤣

DS loved it... at 11 he's too old for cartoony movies (he's not a baby you know so no Secret Life of Pets 2 for me ) but still a bit young to sit through the more grown up movies so this was great for his level.

Personally thought it was a little bit long but very watchable and my dts 9 thought it was great. It was one of the mini morning movies well worth £2.50!
