    Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
    ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
    Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
    Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
    ikrani Understand that I am in no way burdened by nostalgia. I'd never heard of or seen this show when I was a kid, and only started watching it as an adult.And, when you get down to it, the show it stupid. Toyetic character designs and weapons aside, the premise is pretty shaky: King Arthur and his knights disappear while out on a quest and Merlin is forced to recruit, bear with me here, a football team from what I can only assume is New York City to be the new Knights of the Round Table, said table granting them magical equipment and knowledge of how to fight.As I said, I find that to be a REALLY stupid premise. It might've been stronger if they'd had the new knights be the underdogs for a few episodes before they finally found their footing and became the invincible warriors they are from the start. And just because they know how to fight doesn't mean they instantly are ready to risk their lives in lethal combat. I find that to be psychologically unrealistic (the key word here being "psychologically").However, after I watched the first episode and my adult mind stopped grappling with the premise, my inner 8-year-old kid said, open- mouthed and drooling, "THIS WAS MADE JUST FOR ME." Holy crap, this show is awesome. It has knights in shining armor, damsels in distress, damsels who can kick all kinds of ass, dragons, flying stone Warlords, all the above doing battle with some of the most ridiculously cool weapons I've ever seen, and just to put the cherry on the sundae, the music is 90% rock 'n' roll. And not that stock rock music that a lot of cartoons use, I'm talking Ron Wasserman- style metal-influenced guitar- shredding rock. A most excellent choice for the soundtrack.I'll admit I haven't finished Season 1 yet and I know there's a second season, about which I heard new villains arrive sporting a samurai/ninja aesthetic. My only hope is that the show doesn't go the route of Sonic SatAM Season 2 and become TOO stupid. But even if it does, I'll still loves it to death and pray every weekend for a reboot.SPOILERS: Season 2 goes the route of Sonic SatAM, in that the animation and frame art gets so bad sometimes that I can't enjoy the cartoon. Someone reboot this show STAT!
    mhswresler Nothing got me more excited on Saturday morning when I was a kid, then 10 A.M. Yes, that was when my favorite cartoon ever came on the air. King Arthur had it all. Epic battles, Knights, Magic, Evil, Good, and a huge freaking dragon that came out of King Arthurs shield. It's sad this show only lasted two seasons. I would love to find the two seasons on a torrent or DVD or something. Unlike G.I Joe, or TMNT, this show showed that the "Bad Guys" could win too, and do some major damage. I wish this show was still on the air, even if it was re-runs. King Arthur was a show unlike any others. All the knights that had a certain power, and the evil guys who would stop them at all costs. This was, and still is, in my opinion the greatest Saturday morning cartoon ever aired on television.
    bigmo19901 Great show! I love it! During the summer, I stay at my grandma house and watch this show. Did my best to be present to watch this show. If there were a novel, that this cartoon was based upon. The story is outstanding with great scene. Get it and refresh the unforgettable memories of "King Auther and the Knight of Justice"!Great theme music by the way! Where can I find a recorded theme music? I may be 20 years old but I still have a great passion for classic cartoon show.ex-subscriber of Fox Kids magazine Fan of Fox Kids Fan of WBHere some other classic cartoon shows you may have forgottenBobby World (Fox Kids) Bogus "using clay as cartoon" (?)

    02106954 I used to watch this as a kid on Sunday mornings. After a random search, I found out that they had released the first 5 or 6 episodes on DVD. Ran to the shops and bought the first DVD from MVC a few weeks ago.Many happy memories came flooding back as King Arthur and his Knights pledged 'Fairness to all' and to 'Protect the weak and vanquish the evil'.Anything that advocates honour, glory and love whilst including Knights, steeds with weapons, Dragons and possibly the most beautiful maiden in all of cartoondom, has to be bought, watched and loved. Easily one of the best cartoon series ever produced. It's a pity that they have decided to release it in small blocks of episodes. Knights! Knights! Knights!
