Reviews
Tetrady not as good as all the hype
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Python Hyena Quest for Camelot (1998): Dir: Frederik Du Chau / Voices: Pierce Brosnan, Gary Oldman, Jane Seymour, John Gielgud, Cary Elwes: Artless animation about adventure lacking detail with a predictable story just to add insult to injury. Characters fail to come to life with voice talents struggling with half wit dialogue. Children will likely approach this disappointment anticipating adventure but for a funnier and better animated substitute, I recommend Mulan. Story regards the stolen sword Excalibur by the knight Ruber. Bent on following in her father's footsteps Kayley sets for Camelot to rescue her mother. In the Forbidden Forrest she is joined by a hermit named Garrett and a two-headed dragon that cannot agree on anything. Hopefully they will both agree that this is a pathetic excuse for an animation. Director Frederik Du Chau does his best with what little he has to work with. Voice talents who attempt to breathe life into these lifeless characters include Pierce Brosnan, Gary Oldman, Jane Seymour, and John Gielgud. Even Cary Elwes gets in on this to remind us that he was in a superior adventure called The Princess Bride. They have all done better films and will likely recover from this. Easily one of the worst animations to be released in a long while. It doesn't exist for any message other than that fifty cents could produce a superior film. It is plainly an animated failure rushed for release too soon. Score: 2 / 10
Alyson Jones I'm a little biased to this movie as I grew up watching it in the 00's; I still watch it! The music is fun and the story is cute. No the animation isn't "Disney great", but it's Warner brothers. They have a different way of animating things! One of my favorite movies, but that's probably because I grew up on it. Watch it for a good, heartwarming, cute story! Lots of good actors voicing the characters too. Fun little movie to sit down and watch with your kids, keeps you entertained. Watch it. Now. There isn't anything about this movie that would make me tell you not to see it. The dragons add a cute element and the out come of the story just makes you happy.
Maziun The animation isn't top notch and it's quite obvious in many places. It doesn't mean that the movie looks ugly – it looks OK. I think the movie has too many songs in it. The quality of those songs is uneven – some are good , some are very forgettable. One of the songs was nominated for Oscar.The direction could be better. The movie is too mushy , too sentimental for my taste. Characters like Merlin and King Arthur are wasted by the screenplay. The love story between Kayley and Garrett happens too fast and isn't convincing. The humor isn't impressive , despite interesting supporting characters (two headed dragon Devon and Cornwall , the chicken , the griffin). Ruber makes for a good villain. The voice acting is solid.The movie is set in times of King Arthur and the knights of the round table and it's too bad that it isn't a really good movie. This universe had so much potential. I give it 4/10.
Stompgal_87 I first saw this film with my sister when I was 11 and she was 7 on a ferry home from France and after having forgotten about it for several years, I re-discovered it upon learning that the Nostalgia Critic had done a review on it. His review wasn't particularly favourable but it was enjoyable nonetheless.Anyway back to the film. The first time I watched it my favourite characters were Devon and Cornwall, who added some comedic value to the film, although I've taken a liking towards Kayley as well for being a brave and original heroine since not all heroines of fantasy films want to be knights. The film has some memorable moments such as the beginning where Kayley is a little girl and saddened at the loss of her father as well as her transition from a child to an adult as she looks at her reflection in the water. I could also remember Devon and Cornwall impersonating Elvis, which was somewhat anachronistic for the film's setting. In spite of this, I liked their song 'If I Didn't Have You' as well as Kayley's 'On My Father's Wings' and Juliana's 'The Prayer.' Garrett's solo number was okay, but his singing voice didn't match his speaking voice. I liked his duet with Kayleigh better. The background music was quite pleasant as well, especially the Irish jig-type music. There are some worthy special effects as well such as the lens flare on the sword, the cold breath coming from Kayley's mouth in the snow and the green lighting during Ruber's song and when he takes Juliana hostage. Some of the effects were a tad CGI-ish, such as the ogre made of rock, but it is funny when Ruber says, "The ogre's butt." It was also funny when Devon and Cornwall said they'd barbecue a bully before breathing fire at the griffin as well as the ending where Kayley and Garrett ride away on a horse with a 'Just Knighted' sign across its bottom. As for the animation, it was consistent for the most part but slow during the back-story of the sword at the beginning.All in all, this is an exciting film worth seeing again after several years. 8/10.
