Arthur's Quest

Yep here we have an APEX beater. For those of you who don't know APEX is the worst movie ever, until I saw this! Arthur's Quest is without a doubt the worst movie I've ever seen. I thought Three Ninja's on Mega Mountain was bad but this is unbelievable!

I'm not too sure what this movie is trying to achieve. The sword fight at the end is so gripping and brilliant...only joking, it's so bad you can tell that the actors have been training for about 5 minutes! It's not exactly Highlander.

This may be a kids movie, but I think even a four year old would be disgusted by this movie!

Bad plot, bad acting, bad movie.

2/10

Well, I've seen some terrible movies in my life, but this one takes the cake. I was watching it with my family and every single one of us was cracking up at times because of the awfulness of the movie.

Acting: Terrible. Directing: Awful. Writing: Dreadful.

The storyline was choppy and disconnected at times and some parts were just REALLY strange. The writing was so incredibly cheesy that at first I thought that it was a hokey movie meant to be a joke, but it's absolutely serious. The execution of the movie was an absolute joke. Maybe I'm being cynical and critical, but Arthur's Quest was just SO TERRIBLE that I cant help it.

There are so many things that I could say wrong about this movie, but I really don't have the space so I'll just summarize by saying: DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE! SPARE YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY THE DISGUST!

If I was still 8 years old, I think I would have enjoyed this film immensely but since it's a long time since I was, it's difficult to try to view this from my present age. And be sure, this is a film for kids around that age, a throwback to the old live-action family films that Disney was churning out in the late sixties and seventies.

Still, there's enough to keep adults interested, for the dads there is the scantily clad Catherine Oxenberg, looking more like a supermodel Xena than a medieval sorceress and for the mums there is the young hero's working mother to empathise with.

For the rest of us, it's spotting all the holes in the plot! For instance, how are all the ancients from another century so familiar with modern age slang? Not to mention the fundamental flaw when the evil Morgana is defeated, if it was that easy, why not just do it from the start?

Then again, that's rather unfair as we adults are not the intended audience and the kids it was aimed at, should like this.

Movie for kids actually, it wasn't bad with an afternoon to waste. Nice family values and interaction. Sorry guy but, I think the role of Aurthur should have been given to someone else. This guy is too complacent. Sometimes he even seems to want to be anywhere else but where he is. The final action scene was too much! (actually too little) seemed forced and very "acted".

I think this is entertaining enough for younger kids, and even does a little bit for heroic fantasy, which is something that inspires kids towards more selfless actions when such exposure is in their mind. On a critical note, it's whacky. Morgana is weirdly half-dressed, like other shave said mimicking Xena, while her dark knights are over-armored and covered from head to toe. Morgana also is over-acted. Merlin is the comic relief but also the romance angle with Arthur's stepmom. I'd like to know the concept behind using the Durendal sword, of Charlemagne and French paladin Roland, as the Excalibur sword. Budget issues?
