Teen Knight (1999)
4/10
Camelot was never like this
20 October 2013
Young Kris Lemche along with several other teens wins a trip to a kind Medieval Times resort which gets transported back to some real medieval times in Teen Knight. It's all been done by a wizard back then who's got some extraordinary powers and he'd like to unleash the advances of the future in a power play back in his own era.

So what looks like a nice Westworld type romp gets very real just like in Westworld. But the robots stay behind and it's only the humans and the castle with all modern advances that go back. Oh, and a computer created dragon becomes the real mccoy.

The evil genius behind all of this is a Mordred like character played with some relish and a bit too free a rein from the director, by Marc Robinson. Fortunately there's also a Merlin character who looks just Paul Soles the owner of the Medieval Times like resort.

I honestly don't understand the hate-on for this film. It is subpar and could have used some help in the script, the direction, and the special effects. I'm sure they didn't have a budget for the last that was too lavish. But the kids were appealing and it's good family entertainment.
