I'd give the first half a high 6, nice. A fun family adventure movie with a couple of funny parts.
But then it lost steam and the second half was generic- a below average 4. I wanted to like the action but it became pretty tedious.
So I guess it's a 5/10. Shame.

Nice first half, mediocre second half.
Basic and way to long!
The basic premise of the film is fine and some of the action is ok but the script is beyond basic and the film is atleast half hour to long. Young kids will probably still love it but not much in it for a maturer audience
Fun concept, too cheesy
I enjoy the idea of a modern retelling of King Arthur, but I wish the film had turned out a little better. There were far too many cringey moments relative to every touching or entertaining moment. Kids movies can be fun and profound without being super cheesy. It's an okay film, but it ends up being kinda forgettable.
