While The Mighty is first and foremost a hugely entertaining story, what lies at its heart is an awareness of the importance of friendship. The friends in question are Kevin and Maxwell - Kevin, a frail boy with a chronic illness, who is then persuaded to help tutor Maxwell, healthy in body but emotionally troubled. The two outsiders develop an unshakeable bond, escaping their often harsh reality into stories of adventure in the time of King Arthur.

I thought that this movie was going to be boring because of the cover, but then I realised that I shouldnt judge a book by its cover. In this case a DVD!
The movie was happy,sad,emotional and funny.I enjoy sad movies but it is embarising crying infront of my class,but I still liked it.It is about a friendship between two boys who were completly different from each other. One boy was not that smart and was held back in school two years. The other boy was very smart but he had a problem when he was born. People made fun of him which wasen’t nice at all. The small boy was inspired by King Aurther to go on quests and help other people. But as I said it is sad because the boy who was disabled dies and the other boy takes it hard. In the end he was told to think about it and he does,he thinks and thinks and starts writeing a book about his friend. He comes to the very end page but dosent know what to put on it so he draws a picture of King Arthurs grave under water.
He realised that even if someone dies they will still Live on in everyones hearts and their good deads will go on living too!

The mighty was a good film.I love the way that the two boys were so happy and they did all these quests. The king Arthur theme was the rigth way go with this flim.This flim was about two boys that were inspired by the quests of king Arthur.For example a ladys bag was stolen and the boys got it back for her and the boys helped a lady in a cafe becase a man was Harassing her.
The Mighty was a mighty good film. If you want to see a good flim get this one.

The Mighty is a serious film about friendship. It is about a boy who has a smart brain, but has body problems. He meets a taller boy and soon they become friends. The taller boy called Max lets the shorter boy called Kevin onto his shoulders, thats how they got around. They solve problems and go on quests together. This film is very sad at the end but overall it is a great film.

At first Max Kane felt sorry for himself beacuse he was dislesick , the someone who has a worse condition and only has a year left to live is about to change his life forever
Fascinating facts
