“The Green Knight (2021) is a movie we saw in theatres the weekend it was released. The storyline follows the queenu0026#39;s nephew on a mission to prove his valor and partake in an adventure as a newly anointed knight. When a strange mythical tree-like creature arrives at the kingdom and offers a mission he jumps at the opportunity to prove himself without fully understanding the perils that go with it. Can the young knight overcome the mission and become a hero within the kingdom or will his first adventure be his last? This movie is directed by David Lowery (Peteu0026#39;s Dragon) and stars Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire), Anaïs Rizzo (Rain), Sarita Choudhury (Lady in the Water), Erin Kellyman (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) and Sean Harris (Mission Impossible). The storyline for this picture had a lot of potential with a great build-up, settings, back drops and special effects. The acting was solid and the cast fit the characters well. Unfortunately, the storyline and characters never evolve. Thereu0026#39;s no real point to the story. You hope the main character learns from his mistakes and circumstances…he never does. You hope the storyline has a good point and conclusion, it doesnu0026#39;t. After 125 minutes youu0026#39;re left with a whole lot of u0026quot;why did I watch thisu0026quot; feelings and faces within the audience. This was a huge disappointment and nowhere near better films in this genre like Panu0026#39;s Labyrinth, The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings. Iu0026#39;d skip this and score it a 4/10.”
