Teen Knight

Okay, when I saw the cover and when the movie first started, I thought, "This looks like something I could have made in my garage." But it turned out to be pretty entertaining for mindless, low-budget fare. There were some actually pretty funny parts, especially the sword fights where it looks like nobody wants to get their hands dirty and everybody looks all apologetic for landing a blow. And some great, hilarious magic fights. Some people would think that's bad acting; I think it's hilarious -- as did the 40 grade-schoolers I was watching it with.

Yes, the script is cheesy, cliché, and near-plagiaristic. Yes, the acting is pretty bad. (Although I've seen much, much worse.) The directing and editing isn't great and the special effects are embarrassing, but I was never bored watching this movie, which is more than I can say for something more "cultured" like, say "Thin Red Line?". And I personally found it much funnier than the self-proclaimed World's Funniest Movie Ever, "Knocked Up." (Which was a terrifying experience. I had to sneak into "Paranormal Activity" to actually find something to laugh at.)

"Teen Knight/Medieval Park", however it is branded in your district, makes for a rollicking fun night with the family. Plus, there were bare-shouldered medieval wenches, so a good time was had by all. But overall, this makes for a more engaging evening than many "Oscar contenders" out there. (*cough * cough* Terence Malick *cough)

Older, I watched this family TV movie with my nephews and they really enjoyed it. They got scared, excited, laughed, and were quite pleased with the ending of the story. It definitely is an exciting adventure film for the family. Kris Lemche, the star, is a great young actor. Script is not always up to par, but the directing is very good. Feels like the director did an incredible job with the script he was given. The Art direction has an inspiring castle, and wonderful dragons done in computer generated images. Feels like medieval Europe with Amercain & Canadian actors; a great mix. I recommend this film for your kids too. It will make them dream, and wish they could live these type of adventures. This film will make them live it!

This could well be the most pathetic movie I've ever seen. I've seen kids make a better movie with a home VHS camcorder and some action figures. There was obviously no fight choreographer and it looked like the special effects were a byproduct of a 3 year old going crazy with crayons on the original film print. The one line summary says it all on this one.

This movie is ultimately one of the worst movies that i have ever seen. The fight scenes were horrible because its apparent that they got their sword fighting lessons off the back of a cereal box. Script for the movie sounded like a second-grader wrote it. And also very poor choice of actors. Its apparent that this movie is a total dud. So horrible, words cannot describe it. They should change the name from Teen Knight, to Teen Knightmare. When I was about to watch it, I thought "hey kid gets into medieval times and fights evil, that oughta be cool!" But instead of good action and acting, I got last minute fight scenes and script of the dead. So its best to stay away from this movie. This movie WILL burn your eyes off and WILL destroy your ears. So STAY AWAY.

As well as churning out cheap schlocky horror, Full Moon Entertainment also financed a series of children's films that were shot in Romania in the late 1990s. Unsurprisingly the majority of these turn out to be completely dreadful, although the odd one is mildly enjoyable (I admit to getting a kick out of LITTLE GHOST). TEEN KNIGHT is the worst one yet.

This is a fantasy adventure with a historical slant. The protagonist, his buddies, and some random characters are transported back to a medieval castle slap bang in the middle of the Middle Ages and forced to fight against an evil lord with murder in mind. What you get is a gamut of cheesy acting, even cheesier fight scenes, and some quite terrible special effects. The script is diabolical and there's barely an enjoyable moment throughout the whole thing, so it's definitely one to be avoided.
