Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among fans of swords, quests and kingdoms and anyone with a bit of wanderlust, this one's for you. A proper quest, with a world big enough to get lost in. Shelve it next to The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King or The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Never drags, at 1 hr 33 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
In 12th century England, the handsome and noble knight, George, has left the Crusades behind to follow his dream of a peaceful life on his own piece of land. However, in order to obtain his land from the ruling King Edgaar, he must help find the King's missing daughter, Princess Lunna, a quest which sees George drawn into an unexpected battle with the kingdom's last surviving dragon.
