“Justin, a young man in a world where knights have been outlawed, has his heart set on following his late grandfather into knighthood against the express wishes of his father.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis Spanish CGI movie has an extraordinary voice cast of top notch actors. Itu0026#39;s a shame that the voice/lip movements mismatch so much.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film looks like a videogame rather than an animated feature. Itu0026#39;s not unattractive, but itu0026#39;s not what weu0026#39;ve come to expect from a cinematic feature. And Justin himself is copied from Aardmanu0026#39;s Arthur Christmas from 2 years earlier.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story and presentation are mostly OK – lots of colour, action and humour. But the film has an air of being assembled by people who arenu0026#39;t 100% sure about how films are put together: the timing of gags is frequently off, for instance.”
