      Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Rough around the edges, sure, but its decent time filler and keeps its promise of medieval fun. Dec 8, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member I don?t know why so many family films have to be so stupid. They don?t have to be, this could have been a really fun movie, but it misses nearly every opportunity it had. This is a silly mess, that is neither funny or entertaining. The cast isn?t particularly good, Francesca Scorsone is downright awful. The special effects are okay, the period detail is a joke, like the costumes. The score is poor and seems to belong to a different movie entirely. Bad art direction and the sloppy editing certainly don?t help. I think filmmakers should give kids a little more credit that giving them inferior movies like this.
