I LOVE a bit of Adam and Joe style comic-fantasy nonsense - I grew up on their bedroom-set 90's TV series! This modern-skit on the old King Arthur legends is worth watching because of its harmless but intelligent and witty retake of an age old tale. For more, read my full review: bit.ly/KidWhoKing

Felt like a Friday film special from the 80s. Story went from one random event to the next and special effects were pretty bad if you are used to the standard in, say, Harry Potter. Trailer looked amazing.. that was the best bit! Sorry x

Excellent film I liked the way the old man transformed from an owl teenager then an elderly man. It is kind of retelling the sword in the stone but the sword what was in the stone was based in the graveyard. I also liked the fire skeletons riding a fire horse also it had anti bullying in it to. Fab film. F
