The Sword in the Stone

The Sword in the StoneThe Gist: A young orphan stumbles upon Merlin, a great wizard, who teaches him to become more than he thinks he is and more than everyone around him thinks he can be.

I knew the story of the boy who is able to pull the sword out of the stone when no one else could and is automatically made King of England, but I had never seen the movie version.

I found it well made but I also found a few scenes to be gratuitous in that they almost felt like they were put there to have an extra song or make the feature a bit longer.

The Bottom Line: Definitely a safe movie for the whole family.  The story is interesting and even funny at times.

Grade: 7
