Set in current day England, the movie focuses on Alex, an unpopular student in school. He lives wit his Mother, his Father out of the picture. One of his cherished memories of his Dad: a book about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
One day after school, as the two school bullies are chasing after him, Alex runs into a building construction site to evade the bullies; there he finds a sword in a stone. Having grown up on the story of King Arthur, Alex takes a chance and tries to pull the sword from the stone. To his astonishment, the sword comes out of the stone. The legend is born anew-Alex is the kid who would be king.
This movie reminded me of the Harry Potter film series, as well as the Netflix show "Stranger Things", in which kids save the day and save the world. Every actor in this film was unknown to me, except for the role of Merlin, who was played by Sir Patrick Stewart.
Now on DVD and Blu Ray, 2 stars.
