Arthurs Quest Trailers

To escape the clutches of the evil warrior and sorceress Morgana, Merlin transports young King Arthur into modern day America. When Merlin comes back ten years later to retrieve him, he finds a hip 15 year-old Arthur who does not believe Merlin, nor does he want to return to the past. Merlin must convince Arthur of his true identity, before Morgana can retrieve Excalibur and allow the Dark Forces to take over the world.

Such a frustrating disappointment

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I notice people are split on their reviews of it -- the "you either love it or you hate it" problem. I watched it with my 9 year old and we both really liked it. In order to enjoy this film, I think you have to set your expectations appropriately low and take it on its own terms. This is a somewhat campy approach to an Arthurian tale and its a little quirky. But its easy enough to enjoy if you just relax and let it do what it wants to with the tale. The acting is overall fairly bad, I think, and so is the writing/dialog, but somehow, the larger subject matter: the tale of Arthur as a little boy being stashed in modern times, is compelling enough to make the story work. It is very nice to have a adventure story that contains almost no gore and very little inappropriate matter (with the exception of Morgana's skimpy costume). It reminded me a lot of the Sorcerer's Apprentice, but scaled-down, with lower production values, and far less intense. Suitable for families, with a charming innate understanding of what appeals to children in the simple style of storytelling.

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!

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".

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
