Advantages: Funny, contemporary, clever script, music
Disadvantages: A bit long for some

...Described as 'an exciting, action packed comedic adventure', and it is. It opens with a jousting arena and the sound of Queen's 'We will rock you'!

I think the conflict between Watt and Geoff is great, Geoff just knows how to wind Watt up and Geoff gets what he deserves for doing so. I also enjoyed the part where William manipulates the female blacksmith into fixing his armour with no way to pay. The film is rated PG so if you have young children you may want to watch it first to check the suitability but I would say that there is only one scene that is not suit, otherwise it is a very good family film. I bought this DVD from Choices video store in an offer of 3 DVD's for £15, which makes this good value for money.... Read review
