The Kid Who Would Be King 2019 Watch Free in HD

Wall Street Journal

It's a charming notion, worked out zestfully by the writer-director, Joe Cornish, until the charm falls victim to familiar CGI Halloweenery.

It feels like an old school kids' adventure film, the characters are a bit bland, there is no great sense of peril and it is a little earnest, but it's fun and light and not a bad midterm outing.

It falls short of enchanting but it's never less than fun and likable. Watch it through the eyes of your inner teenager and you'll have a blast.

Cornish is offering a kind of movie they just don't make anymore - expansive live-action adventure tales unabashedly aimed at young people, not the adults charged with taking them to the cinema.

[Cornish] wisely speaks the language of children without talking down to them.

It might be too quaint a film for some tastes, and it's surely too long...but the characters are likeable, the scattered jokes are funny and the action scenes work.

[Joe] Cornish delivers his version of a sword-and-sorcery adventure with the intelligence and sensitivity that kids' films deserve, but do not always receive.

This movie is sentimental in all the right places, and impossible to dislike.
