[A] hopeful tale about the struggle between good and evil in a chaotic world.
Washington Post
Did the world really need another blowhard Arthur and a Round Table of gritty, humorless fanatics? The Kid Who Would Be King's good-natured positivity seems much more appropriate to the moment.

Rating: 3/5 --
A perfectly pleasant, if a touch innocuous, rejigging of the Arthurian legend for a modern audience.

Herald Sun (Australia)
3 stars out of 4 -- Cornish's gift for working with child actors is still apparent, as is his knack for dynamic action set pieces.

Rating: 6/10 --
Film fans have waited eight years for Joe Cornish to make his follow-up to Attack the Block, but The Kid Who Would Be King is unfortunately a tad underwhelming.

Alternative Lens
4 stars out of 5 -- [I]t’s a meaningfully relevant film....KID is often delightfully silly, while the contemporary setting allows for ample inventive twists on Arthurian iconography.
Total Film
Joe Cornish's timely retelling of Arthurian legend is an adventure for the whole family.

Product Description:
Writer-director Joe Cornish's family-friendly fantasy film puts a contemporary spin on the legend of King Arthur. An unexceptional English boy (Louis Ashbourne Serkis) pulls Excalibur from a rock and is informed by Merlin (Angus Imrie and Patrick Stewart) that he is destined to lead the charge against evil medieval enchantress Morgana le Fay's attempt to conquer the world.
