The Kid Who Would Be King (2019)

This film is based on the legend of King Arthur and it is about a twelve year old boy called Alex who discovers the legendary sword, Excalibur. When Alex attempts to pull the sword out of a stone, he succeeds, the sword slipping out with ease. But, by pulling the sword out of the rock, he has triggered Morgana’s plan to possess Excalibur. Every night, time freezes and humans disappear, unless they have been knighted by Alex, whilst demons on horses chase him in attempt to get the sword for Morgana. Meanwhile, at Stonehenge, a young teenager appears out of a portal in between two stones. He is completely naked and has to buy clothes from the nearest shop. He heads straight over to Alex’s school and tries to persuade everyone that he is the wizard Merlin and that on the lunar eclipse, Morgana will take over Britain. After school, Alex and his friend (Bedders) are looking at the sword, when he, without realising, knights Bedders. At school, there are two bullies called Lance and Kay. They must allow themselves to be knighted so that they can join Alex’s army and defeat Morgana.

I really liked this film as it was not like any other film that I have seen before, although I would recommend it to Percy Jackson lovers because in Percy Jackson there are some strange creatures, just like in this film.
