So, i went in with the most positive mindset i could possibly have. So when it started i was thinking to myself, it could be good it has 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. As i went through the film, it just got worse and worse. The jokes are just highly cringy (mario kart as an example) the only half decent ones were in the trailer. It is VERY cliched and predictable. It runs for an hour too long and the acting from the children (yes i know there children) is just laughable at times. The way the story plays out just made me sit there in awe. The bit where they go to Cornwall was pointless other than the fact that they learnt how to fight which could have just happened somewhere else. To be honest most of the film is pointless. After the Cornwall part i just tried to fall asleep but i couldn't because it was that loud. The final fight scene is just utterly pathetic. I know it's a kids film but no one dies, gets hurt or even a single scratch on them, it's just not believable. So basically the world was in danger so who do they get to protect the world? The army or the military. No they get a bunch of kids to protect the world. So by the time you've been bored to death for two hours they wrap things up by making everyone happy with all the swords and magic spells etc. I thought that his Dad was going to show up and go, ah i really did love ya i just had to go away, well done on killing that root person thing by the way. I thought they might of had to cut it out because it was on for too long. Thankfully he didn't. Overall the film is just utter garbage. Sadly it's not so bad it's good which i don't mind in a film sometimes but it's not it's just bad. 1/10
