Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

huh_oh_i_c What really bothered me about this movie is the message it sends.... to girls. This is an adaptation, I mean: a super dumbed down version of the 'Arthur and the round table'-story for kids....apparently aged four to nine years old. Meg Cabot is the writer, but in doing this, she basically leeches off the original, so, that's not very creative nor original. Now, all critical reviews that go on and on about how the movie is worse because it changes the plot and characters (there are still some racists so, so UPSET that Lancelot is black... which is kind of funny) are not wrong, but they miss the BIG change in message that is brought about by these changes.At the end, in a mansplained plot twist, we find out that Allie, not Will, is Arthur, and that she eehm ... SAVES the world and all that. You're probably thinking: but the girl is the hero, how is that man-splaining? Well that is so, because Allie saving the world and being the true hero is NOT the most important thing in the movie. Nope, the most important thing is that WILL can win the "Big Game"!!! Yup. Everything Allie, the girl does, is IN SERVICE to her boyfriend winning the game! That is kinda sexist. Wait, that is VERY sexist. So, you see:yes, Arthur CAN be a girl, because that girl is SUBORDINATE, as per usual, to male interests: winning a football game. (This is the same as making black people udges, presidents or doctors in film and on TV: it's meaningless because in those movies they are minor characters). She can't ever be a hero in a football game, that world is as closed to her as driving is to Saudi women. Even MORE closed, actually, in 2017. Everyone, including Lance and Jennifer, are putting their happiness aside, so Will can win the game. He's a nice guy, but he's a NON-character ultimately. He's not Merlin, not Mordred, not any sort of knight, he's nothing and no one, so why is HE MORE important han Allie, he gets the Big Movie Finale Allies happiness and recognition, who is King Arthur after all, are ultimately deemed less important than "the game".So, let's analyze how this absolute disaster came about. It started with the writers wanting to make Cabots story their own. They wanted Ellie, not Will to b e Arthur, so they changed her name to Allie because it starts with an "A". They forgot about the Lancelot/Guinivere thing, though. Then they added some more "plot twists" like changing the Mordred character, adding the Merlin character, etc. And ipso presto, here you have this absolute stinker. Oh well.Cabot's story is by no means flawless, but it kind of made sense. She erased all female characters but Allie: Morgana Le Fey, Lady of the Lake, Niniane who took the powers of Merlin. Also missing: Morgause, Sir Gawains mother? Lady of Shallott, Elaine? Since her mother and Jennifer have very few lines, Allie is in practicality, the ONLY female character, the rest is ALL males. This is weird. In fact, its not only weird. It is SHAMEFULL.

FutureOne I am always looking for stories that my two Nieces would like as well as other younger family members. But I found this particular story great for an adult too! This was very well put together. Thankfully I had not read the synopsis here before watching or it would have been ruined for me. This played out like a good book in many ways.Also I think Brit Robertson is an exceptional actress and improves nearly any story she is in. Nothing else to say here 'cept if you have not seen it yet do, but do NOT read the Synopsis here by xcharliegirlx or it may ruin an otherwise excellent production for you.

reb5239 As many others have said, this movie is an atrocious adaptation of the Meg Cabot book by the same title. The worst part is, if you love the book, the movie seems to be following the same general plot. I was really impressed with Disney's dedication to the original book, with a few additional characters, until the last 15 minutes. I won't say why since many other reviews have done so, but if you love the book please save yourself from the heartbreak of watching Disney destroy this novel. If you haven't read the book, I'd suggest giving it a chance. It's an excellent teen novel for fantasy lovers with a true Arthurian twist!

Hayden Thomas For a Disney Channel movie, I found this one actually good. Allie, the main character, confused me though. She seems rude at parts, but she's supposed to be sweet, right? She IS the protaginist, right? The other nerdy kid (grr, I can't remember his name) also did the same thing. He seemed rude at some parts, and okay at others.Anyways, I applaud Disney for making the popular kids actually nice, unlike the stereotyped Hollywood ones. They're not rude, they're not mean, yadda yadda yadda. They actually introduce themselves to the new girl and act nice to her.I can't get them for originality though because it was based off a book. The plot line was good, although it's a bit clichéd. A "chosen one" supposed to save everyone.It was also very predictable. I knew who Arthur, Mordred, and everyone else was. It had its twists, though.I would also like to say Greg Sulken (Sullen?) did a nice job. Anyways, this was a decent movie that's better than others.
