      Audience Member For the budget, films don't get better. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member No doubt the Burns family put all their time, effort, work, and resources into this film...too bad its awful. God awful. The acting is either overplayed or underplayed, the "action" is very, very badly done as well as the costumes, complete with sneakers and teeshirts hoping no one intelligent will notice. The story is dumb and cliched as all-get-out. Good God, you can predict the cliches so far its like looking into the future. This though is marketed for Christian families, so we should expect terrible movies, since they all flock to see it because Jesus is in it, and they wont stop complaining about well done secular movies.Overall, it's bad and terrible, but if you know an enemy you want to get back at, give it to them. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow!! I feel duped. WORST FILM in the WORLD! not camp, not amateur, not worthy!, I was looking for a film about King Arthur and/or Merlin and instead I got a Christian family made film about God and faith. There's little to no dialogue and when people do speak it's delivered terribly. This film has an agenda to tell history through the eyes of contemporary Pious people. It's almost comical when a completely inept (non) actor says "this is the gateway to Britain" with a Midwestern accent. For the first 15 minutes it was not clear who is who and what is what and why anything was happening. It was funny when the German Saxon had a Scottish accent though. It took 23 minutes to hear the father call-out the main character's name, "Arthur". The lack of dialogue other than when they speak about God's grace, is actually astounding. What a great disappointment to the story of King Arthur, who, it seems traveled with "knights" that likely were not religious at all. It was hard to watch the people pretending to act. I can not help wondering why they would have these people pretend to act, they're worse than amateur actors, they're worse than any High School musical I've seen. I've seen better acting on the stage of a Middle School. it was painful, I had to turn it off. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this film. The acting and CGI is stellar. The script and casting were exemplary. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredible movie. Not high budget Hollywood crud. This was a movie with a message. It was low budget, but well done with what they had. Excellent script. I recommend this highly. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member weird movie, but somewhat entertaining as the actors show little talent, dialogues are stiff and silly and a steady stream of religious blah goes on throughout the whole ordeal. how ever, the burns family has managed to include some very pretty horses and landscapes (not really looking like the wales I remember) which shows some existence of taste.
