It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Understand that I am in no way burdened by nostalgia. I'd never heard of or seen this show when I was a kid, and only started watching it as an adult.And, when you get down to it, the show it stupid. Toyetic character designs and weapons aside, the premise is pretty shaky: King Arthur and his knights disappear while out on a quest and Merlin is forced to recruit, bear with me here, a football team from what I can only assume is New York City to be the new Knights of the Round Table, said table granting them magical equipment and knowledge of how to fight.As I said, I find that to be a REALLY stupid premise. It might've been stronger if they'd had the new knights be the underdogs for a few episodes before they finally found their footing and became the invincible warriors they are from the start. And just because they know how to fight doesn't mean they instantly are ready to risk their lives in lethal combat. I find that to be psychologically unrealistic (the key word here being "psychologically").However, after I watched the first episode and my adult mind stopped grappling with the premise, my inner 8-year-old kid said, open- mouthed and drooling, "THIS WAS MADE JUST FOR ME." Holy crap, this show is awesome. It has knights in shining armor, damsels in distress, damsels who can kick all kinds of ass, dragons, flying stone Warlords, all the above doing battle with some of the most ridiculously cool weapons I've ever seen, and just to put the cherry on the sundae, the music is 90% rock 'n' roll. And not that stock rock music that a lot of cartoons use, I'm talking Ron Wasserman- style metal-influenced guitar- shredding rock. A most excellent choice for the soundtrack.I'll admit I haven't finished Season 1 yet and I know there's a second season, about which I heard new villains arrive sporting a samurai/ninja aesthetic. My only hope is that the show doesn't go the route of Sonic SatAM Season 2 and become TOO stupid. But even if it does, I'll still loves it to death and pray every weekend for a reboot.SPOILERS: Season 2 goes the route of Sonic SatAM, in that the animation and frame art gets so bad sometimes that I can't enjoy the cartoon. Someone reboot this show STAT!

King Arthur and the Knights of Justice was and still is one of my personal favourite animated shows. Whether it is my favourite of all time I am not sure, but what I do know is that I really love it.Animation: The animation quality is very good. It has fluid character designs, vibrant colours and detailed background art. Together they do very well in conveying a sense of wonder.Music: The background scoring is beautiful, haunting and rousing, often in the same episode and even at the same time. The real revelation in this respect though is the main theme tune, one of the catchiest there ever was for any animated show and maybe ever.Writing: I always love good writing in any film or show. King Arthur and the Knights of Justice's writing isn't just good, it is great. Filled with humour, suspense and intelligence.Storyline: There are some very compelling storytelling here, with a fantasy-adventure atmosphere that is perfect considering the title. There is the good and evil theme but it is interesting rather than bland and clichéd, like I've known some films and TV shows of the genre to be.Action sequences: Sometimes tense and suspenseful yet always thrilling and excitingly paced. I also loved the weapons of especially the hero characters.Characters: All the characters have distinct personalities and are interesting in their own way. Despite the somewhat standard concept of good and evil(though it's acceptable considering the genre), none of them fall into being stereotypical and underdeveloped. More importantly the heroes are likable and the villains are appropriately antagonistic.Voice acting: The voice cast consist of several talented voice actors, including Kathleen Barr, and all the time they give dynamic vocal performances.Overall, a fantastic yet sadly underrated show. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I used to watch this as a kid on Sunday mornings. After a random search, I found out that they had released the first 5 or 6 episodes on DVD. Ran to the shops and bought the first DVD from MVC a few weeks ago.Many happy memories came flooding back as King Arthur and his Knights pledged 'Fairness to all' and to 'Protect the weak and vanquish the evil'.Anything that advocates honour, glory and love whilst including Knights, steeds with weapons, Dragons and possibly the most beautiful maiden in all of cartoondom, has to be bought, watched and loved. Easily one of the best cartoon series ever produced. It's a pity that they have decided to release it in small blocks of episodes. Knights! Knights! Knights!

I used to watch this show all the time and I definitely agree that King Arthur and The Knights of Justice was the best show I ever saw. It was so good in fact that when I couldn't remember the name of my childhood show, I spent probably 2 years trying to figure it out till a friend of mine knew what I was talking about and told me the name. Anyways, I love the show and I wish it was still playing, but im looking for any videos, action figures, etc... basically anything having to do with the show. If anyone has any more information, please email me about where to find things and all, I would really appreciate it. If you haven't seent the show, your missing out. One of the few where good guys had cooler weapons than the bad guys!
