The film was well-conceived, intertwined with ancient magic and modern adventures
The legend of King Arthur has been remake countless times before, and this time it has been reinvented, incorporating this legend into the elements of modern children's adventures. The film tells the story of a twelve-year-old boy, Alex, who is a super fan of King Arthur. One day, while he was avoiding the bullying of the school bully, he accidentally found the long-lost sword in stone. Under the drive of curiosity, he pull up the sword of the king. After sword being pulled up, but also awakened the evil demon Morgana who was sleeping in the underground for thousands of years. He must summon his classmates to form a knight legion, and join forces with the legendary wizard Merlin that travel through time and space to fight against the enemy. . . The film was well-conceived, intertwined with ancient magic and modern adventures, re-creating the youth version of King Arthur, the adventure journey across the British Stonehenge, London City and the castle. In terms of stories, there are a lot of meaningful details but there are multiple fragments that are a bit boring. In addition to the interaction and growth process of several children, the action scenes did not bring much shock. But in terms of creativity and deduction, it is better than The Nutcracker And The Four Realms, which was released two months ago!
