Hi, Maders! Do you know the legend of King Arthur? I said ‘legend’ because I doubt if he really existed. The story is about a boy successfully pulling out a sword, Excalibur, from a big stone. He is secretly the descendant of a rightful king. Hence, the throne belongs to Arthur. On the other hand, his step sister, Morgan Le Fay, wants to claim the throne. That’s the conflict.
I just watched a movie entitled The Kid Who Would Be King. It’s amazing! I’ve known the story of King Arthur because I had the novel and finished reading it. This movie relates to King Arthur because the main character, Alex, has Excalibur sword. Alex and Bedders (Alex’s bestfriend) are always bullied by Lance and Kaye at school. Nonetheless, they become allies and fight together with the whole students against Morgana.
There are four rules as long as they finish their mission: never say rude words, don’t give up, always tell the truth, and respect someone you love.
I love this movie because it’s fantasy. Moreover, Alex is good-looking kid. The setting of place is in England, so people speak with British accent. I try to always talk with British accent because I sound more like a royal family member. Hahaha. I really want to be in the story and accompany Alex at school.
There are some weird things though. Alex and his friends seldom eat (not at all I guess) when they are having journey to find Morgana. How can they gain energy? Even they don’t change their clothes. Next is about Lady of The Lake’s hand. In my opinion, her hand is too big for a girl. It’s almost muscular when she raises the sword above the water. I’m just saying what I thought. Don’t let them bother you. This is a very good movie and I want to watch it again actually.
Morgana has army in the form of ‘burning skeleton wearing armor’ called Mortes Milles. Morgan also can transform into a dragon breathing fire. The coolest part is when all students manage to defend their school from those Mortes Milles. Merlin needs to open a portal, so Morgana can be trapped inside. Meanwhile, Alex cuts Morgana’s head with the Excalibur.
Well, that’s my review about The Kid Who Would Be King. I recommend all fantasy lovers to watch this. You’ll learn history of King Arthur and His Knights (Round Table). Happy Watching, Maders!
