3.5 out of 5 stars.

Arthur the King is a pretty fair adventure film following Michael (Mark Wahlberg) who his team go on a endurance race thats 400 mile some race that takes them across the Dominican Republic. While during the race they come across a stray dog that guides and follows them through the race.

Plot was great. It has a bit of heart with Michael bonding with the dog during the race which the dog saved one of them from falling off a cliff. While they travel through rough terrain. The story can be a bit emotional for animal lovers.

It has a great cast ensemble lead by Mark Wahlberg.

The direction could have been better which was a bit generic for a adventure movie. Its a wonderful story just the direction did not offer anything new.

Wife and I loved the movie and found it to have character, heart, and a fun story. At only 90 minutes long it moves fast and will work great for families with kids. We love dogs and tend to enjoy Mark W. Films, so this is one we took earliest opportunity to watch and we left the theater thrilled Arthur met our expectations. A must see movie that we will watch again someday. Some reviews have criticized changes to details of this true story. Keep in mind this is not a technically accurate true story, instead it is "based on a true story" meaning movie takes many liberties to bring something entertaining to screen. Neither of us have read the book, so none of this mattered to us and I doubt it will matter to most viewers (my wife enjoyed movie so much she just ordered the book). If you know the details of accurate true story and accuracy matters to you, then this might be one to skip. Otherwise , it's A MUST SEE MOVIE!

I usually avoid trailers and spoilers before watching a movie, but with this one, even the poster hinted at a heart-wrenching story. Discovering it was based on real events hit me even harder.

Dogs are just too precious, and movies like this always tug at the heartstrings. While it may not reach the emotional depth of classics like "A Dog's Journey" and "Hachiko," it still manages to make you care about the characters.

Considering it's based on true events, there might not have been much room for story changes. However, I felt the human characters could've been more developed. For instance, the hiker girl revealing her father's cancer right before the race felt like a cheap way to evoke sympathy.

Even Mark Wahlberg's character felt a bit underdeveloped. It's a classic case of "show, don't tell." Simply mentioning his emotional drivers through exposition didn't quite cut it and lessened the impact of his character growth.

I think the movie could have benefited from being slightly longer to establish the stakes more firmly and give the dog more screen time in the first half.

"Brought tears both of happiness and sadness to my eyes. -Dad" "It was good. -Mandy" "That's a sad movie, dad. -Theo" "Guys...that was stressful. -Natalie" "It was pretty good, the dog was pretty cute. -Iris"

10/10.

Saw this movie as part of mystery movie Mondays at Regal Cinema with my family. Great movie we all agree! There's happy parts, sad parts, a real rollercoaster and tearjerker of a movie. Worth watching even if you're not a big Mark Wahlberg fan and don't like Marky Mark. Glad to have seen this movie! Mystery movie Mondays at Regal Cinemas are great. I liked seeing the real pictures of the real people and dog at the end.
