Enjoyable for adults and kids alike

I bought this movie for my son since he was very interested in knights and castles at the time. The talk of King Arthur and the sword Excalibur was exciting for him. We went through a period of time where he would watch this movie over and over. He was 4 years old at the time.

There are definitely parts of this movie that would easily scare young children. The villain, Ruber, is ruthless and kills Kayley's, the heroine's father at the beginning of the movie. He creates monstrous killing machines with a magic potion. Kayley enters a forest with strange plants that try to kill any who enter.

But overall I liked the movie due to the characters and the music. In fact I liked the music so much I went out and bought a CD of it. I like the fact that one of the lead characters is a girl who wants to be a knight of the Round table. She meets a blind boy Garrett who is very independent despite his handicap. There is also a very funny two-headed dragon that joins them in their quest to recover the sword Excalibur.

Overall, if your child is easily scared, I would not recommend this movie. However if your child likes action and adventure then take a chance to check it out.
