The Movie Kid Reviews

King Arthur (2004)

Bruce Willis as King Arthur

[7/10 · 11 January 2005]

Antoine Fuqua directed this movie and "Tears of the Sun." Both movies have the same plot: a small group of soldiers think they have completed their last mission but are sent to rescue and return an individual. The soldiers end up leading a group of people to freedom while being pursued by an army.

Now I am probably one of the biggest Bruce Willis fans out there but "Tears of the Sun" wasn't that great of a movie. Exactly what made them think "King Arthur" would be any different? But I cannot be entirely negative about this movie. Lancelot and a few of the other knights are some bad dudes that I would not want to mess with. The battle that occurs on the frozen lake is also probably one of my favorite scenes. (But again, it does strike a resemblance to a scene in field in "Tears of the Sun").

Bottom line -- Bruce Willis should have played King Arthur.

That's Adequate (1989)

Monty Python on Sleeping Pills

[1/10 · 19 July 2001]

Although this movie has several moments that compare it to Monty Python, it just does not have the same punch. Not anyone can pull off a dancing private part. Monty Python also knew when to step back but this movie went over the line. It's just too perverted and too lousy for me. The 3 Stooges are a sacred thing and, along with other movie icons, this movie shows no respect. The only up side was seeing all of the cameo appearances and the small jokes that appeared here and there. That's Adequate is a perfect title because that's what this movie is: adequate.
