4/5

This should be the first installment of a trilogy, followed by "General Washington" and "President Washington," released at this same time in 2028 and 2030. There’s no reason that authentic patriotism can’t also coincide with timely marketing.

1.5/5

Young Washington is a tedious history lesson designed to be played in middle school history classrooms rather than in movie theaters. The unmistakable, hideous generative AI throughout doesn’t help anything

Religion and politics aside, it’s a hero’s journey and an origin story that's respectful, honorable, and quite timely. A great celebration just in time for July 4th and America's 250th."
