GamerTab That was an excellent one.

GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

morganmichel1234 ever since High School Musical came out on Disney Channel, Disney has been trying for many years to make anything close to it. but i have to say, this movie was surprisingly good compared to what has been attempted before. other movies have been no more than hectic clichés and very sad, cheesy story lines. This one, not only being a very different story line, did not contain cheesy or bad acting or story line. i thoroughly enjoyed this one and although it didn't come close to HSM, it was very well done :) a message to other reviewers, please, if you don't like a movie, by all means, share your thoughts and feelings but in a civilized way. sometimes some of you can be to harsh. its not wrong to dislike something, but just try be a little more polite when stating what is wrong with it :) thanks :)

KittyCat33 I must admit, I do love a good Disney movie and this was a decent enough Disney movie. However, I am also a big fan of Meg Cabot's book and I don't agree with Disney changing what would have been a perfectly good script. In the book, everything lines up with the Arthurian legend; Will is King Arthur, Marco is Mordred etc. In the film, however, Allie is King Arthur (which is meant to be a "surprise plot twist" but actually doesn't make any sense), Marco is only pretending to be bad (because after all folks it is a kids movie) and Will character isn't part of the legend at all. It would appear that Disney were trying to give the movie a feminist slant, going for the 'girls can do everything boys can do" attitude (evident when the teacher, Mr Moore who is Mordred in the movie, says "King Arthur can't be a girl"). However, by doing this the story, especially the love triangle between Lance (Lancelot), Jennifer (Guinevere) and Will makes absolutely NO SENSE. I don't think that Disney realised that the original plot in the book does actually give great credence to Ellie, not Allie. Ellie is the Lady of the Lake, the women that gives King Arthur Excalibur and who protects him. Arthur would be nothing without the Lady of the Lake and so the plot as is was pretty feminist already. In my opinion, Disney's changes were silly, poorly thought out and entirely unnecessary. In saying that I did enjoy the first hour of the film and found the character of Miles (Merlin) to be a great addition. Overall, I think the film is good but with such significant changes made to the plot and the ending, I do not think Disney should of marketed this as a adaptation of the book. It would have been better as a stand alone TV movie.

Hayden Thomas For a Disney Channel movie, I found this one actually good. Allie, the main character, confused me though. She seems rude at parts, but she's supposed to be sweet, right? She IS the protaginist, right? The other nerdy kid (grr, I can't remember his name) also did the same thing. He seemed rude at some parts, and okay at others.Anyways, I applaud Disney for making the popular kids actually nice, unlike the stereotyped Hollywood ones. They're not rude, they're not mean, yadda yadda yadda. They actually introduce themselves to the new girl and act nice to her.I can't get them for originality though because it was based off a book. The plot line was good, although it's a bit clichéd. A "chosen one" supposed to save everyone.It was also very predictable. I knew who Arthur, Mordred, and everyone else was. It had its twists, though.I would also like to say Greg Sulken (Sullen?) did a nice job. Anyways, this was a decent movie that's better than others.

tcolburn-4 Avalon High is a fun updating of the Arthur legend. It is totally age appropriate for young teens--as opposed to many of today's films aimed at that age group. A high schooler, Allie, is used to her parents moving frequently, supposedly the result of their scholarship and expertise on the King Arthur legends. She's excited to find out that for once they will be living in a location for longer than six months. On her first day at school, she quickly observes some of the typical--and not so typical--drama that takes place on high school campuses. The audience quickly becomes aware that a modern-day Camelot is unfolding. The characters are a little slower on the uptake. There were no award-winning acting turns, but there were no duds. I think Molly Quinn would have done better in the lead role than Britt Robertson; Quinn has more depth to her as an actress, even though Robertson is older with more credits to her name. The twist at the end was a little out there, and just barely worked, but it was still an entertaining film.
