A_Different_Drummer This is not your average review and this is not your average movie.Imagine a world when someone not familiar with western culture stumbles onto a random Harry Potter movie? Or a Matrix entry? Do you think with no prior point of reference they would "get" the film as intended? My point is this -- I am a big fan of the Arthur legend and have read a lot about it, both fiction and non-fiction. I am one of several million people (approximately) who finds the core story moving and compelling and almost visceral.This movie, which even a casual observer will see does not follow the "usual" Disney formula, and is almost entirely plot-driven, and was clearly written by a Arthur buff. And if you are an Arthur buff when you see it, it will have much more impact than the reviews here would indicate.So, that said, this is a solid film and a young Britt Robertson has more than enough charm to keep things moving to the conclusion.For those intrigued by the POV expressed in this review and want more, I suggest Excalibur (1981) for film buffs and "The Forever King" by Molly Cochrane for readers.It will be well worth the effort.

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.

Leilabeth i would give 0 stars if i could! i was extremely excited to see it because Avalon High is one of my favorite books! But they changed so much it could easily be a random movie with a bunch of coincidences. Blonde haired, blue eyed Lance is a bald black guy. Ellie is now Allie. A. William Wagner (in fact they drooped the A i wanna say...)is no longer the reincarnation of King Arthur but an annoying sidekick to Allie aka King Arthur! Will's step brother (but he's really Will's half brother! And the reincarnation of King Arthur's wicked Half Brother! or at least he was in the book...) is actually one of the good guys, there to protect the reincarnation of King Arthur from the reincarnation of his evil half brother!but the teacher that helps in the book is actually the bad guy in the movie! I am so tired of people butchers Meg Cabot's books given the fact she's my favorite author of all time! Oh and Will is British! >.< I have nothing against the cast, they are good Actresses and Actors! I just hate this movie with a passion!

starxxgirl I've read the book and I just saw the movie and pretty much the only character they got right were Jen and Lance. Mr. Moore was supposed to be Merlin, Marco was supposed to be Mordrid (I don't even know was he's supposed to be in the movie) Ellie was supposed to be The Lady of the Lake (no one had that part in the movie), Will was supposed to be King Arthur and there was no Miles. The mismatch of the characters almost completely destroyed the movie for me. It was a good movie, but if they had just gotten the characters right, it would have been a LOT better. I don't see why when a book turns into a movie, a LOT of things have to change, it usually ruins the movie.
