Our Friend, Martin

Besides the message of the film,

The story is just so average I can't give it any better than what I gave it.

I think that this video should be used to show elementary school students. The reason why I say that is because it teaches about the life of Martin Luther King Jr. by making a cartoon out of it (that way it would seem less brutal for youngsters when telling about the horrors that African Americans faced). Our Friend, Martin does show some actual scenes taken but it is mainly a cartoon video. I think this video was successful at talking about Martin Luther King Jr. and why he has made a huge difference today. For example, when Miles and Mr. King travel through time to the year 1998, and since Martin has been taken out of the past and into the future, he wasn't there to fight in the past (it erased everything that Martin did in the past). When Miles and Martin arrive in 1998 African Americans were going through the same turmoil as they did before Martin Luther King Jr. could fight for them. This is when you know that Martin Luther King Jr. had a great affect on the relationships of blacks and whites today. I like the movie because like I said it teaches, in a less brutal way, about the horrors faced by African Americans before Martin Luther King Jr. could fight for them. I rate this video ten out of ten and recommend it to everyone.

I can't even count how many years in a row we had to watch this movie at school. The story is kinda dumb. The characters are stupid and unlikable. Its boring. The animation is ok I guess. I don't know how accurate this movie is to history but based on the other reviews I don't think that it is. I wouldn't really recommend watching this movie.

I Liked and Enjoy watching Our Friend Martin. Really talks about Martin Luther King's life and then his death too. The kid Miles and his best friend Randy along with Maria smart girl and the Bully Kyle all take the adventure to meet Martin himself during his lifetime. Soo great! Martin and Miles get to hang out that was really cool! But Martin realizes Miles's timeline was all off and wrong due to his time affected Miles' timeline. Miles didn't want Martin to leave but He does in the end. Miles gets his friends and real timeline back. And make the art of Martin at the end so emotional and good! Martin Luther King always remembered for life! Good movie.

I adore the movie "Our Friend Martin". It talks about the life of Martin Luther King Jr. (which I think is done extremely well in this movie). It shows a video of when MLK gave his "I have a dream speech". It reviews other parts of Martins life, when he was killed, and when his house burned down etc. I enjoyed watching the cartoon version of this. All of the characters in the movie are cool- Martin Luther King Jr., Miles (who loves baseball), Randy (Miles best friend) Maria (smart kid) and Kyle (bully). Miles, Randy, Maria, and Kyle take an adventure through time to meet Martin Luther King Junior and learn about him and that's when the story is told about Martin Luther King Jr. Another thing that I liked about the movie is that Kyle turned from a bully to a nice kid (probably because he was around Martin Luther King a little bit). If you are racist DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. Other than that I recommend this movie to everyone. It is a great story!!
