Arthur the King

This was a good/fun watch. Most of the characters were "ok", but thats ok as it was supposed to be about the dog. For a minute near the end I thought they were going to have the dog die and if they had done that I would have rated this 0.

Cheesy as hell, but damn if it didn't make me smile.

Not a bad way to spend 90 mins. Lead is whiny (oh no he's rich, has a gorgeous wife, and a multimillion-dollar house), so we have annoying side characters to compensate. Don't worry, they all come around in the end. Fav scenes: exciting dog chase in the beginning to pad out the runtime; Mark Wahlberg asks the question we're all wondering about---how this dog chased them through the entire map---and then doesn't offer an answer; Marky being a Karen over his dog having to fly in a crate.

A sweet story told well enough, less reliant on schmaltz or cliche than I expected.

Long distance human endurance racing with Marky Mark. The acting was EH. The story was OK, but it was not particularly worthwhile.

Way better than ever could be expected.

The king stay the king. It's not the best version of this story cinematically, and it takes a while to get to the heart, since Mark's character really isn't that sympathetic outside of "hey I still have a dream," which we can relate to. His life really doesn't mirror the dogs' considering what the pup went through, but I get that it was portraying companionship and suffering, and I do think it succeeds. If I only rated based on how a movie ultimately hit me emotionally, this would be a 100.

The King is great, the rest is pretty average. It's cool it's based off a true story, though. What a fantastic beast. Nothing really groundbreaking cinematically. The zipline scene was decent and the acting was fine. It does hit ya in the feels of course. 6.3
