Avalon High
January. 28,2011 GElaine "Ellie" Harrison has just moved from Minnesota to Annapolis, Maryland while her parents take a year-long sabbatical to continue their medieval studies in nearby Washington D.C. Her new high school, Avalon High, seems like a typical high school with the stereotypical students: Lance the jock, Jennifer the cheerleader, Marco, the bad boy/desperado, and Will, the senior class president, quarterback, and all around good guy. But not everyone at Avalon High is who they appear to be, not even Ellie herself. Eventually, it becomes apparent that Avalon High is a situation where the ancient Arthurian legend is repeating itself.

best movie i've ever seen.
A Masterpiece!
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
I don't review unless it's a 10 in my viewpoint, and I give this a 10. I haven't read the book, but that shouldn't matter. I think of books and movies as separate, especially if it's a TV show. This movie, unlike what some others say, is not THAT predictable. I was so sure Will was the reincarnation of King Arthur and Marco was Mordred. The dream-scenes in the beginning with Allie meant nothing to me, I didn't understand them at all. So, I didn't think she'd be King Arthur.Out of topic, but it would be nice if Disney did a medieval-theme movie that is sweet and family-friendly and not too much fighting at all. Uh, I love female main characters, so it'd be nice too if the main character was a girl.Anyway, back on the movie, I enjoyed it. It was a different DCOM, and I liked that. I think it's the people who are very used to serious style movies and overboard drama (like Pretty Little Liars, which my sisters watch) that hate most of the new Disney (2010-onwards Disney stuff). This movie wasn't cheesy. It was clearly serious, in a mild fashion way.
i would give 0 stars if i could! i was extremely excited to see it because Avalon High is one of my favorite books! But they changed so much it could easily be a random movie with a bunch of coincidences. Blonde haired, blue eyed Lance is a bald black guy. Ellie is now Allie. A. William Wagner (in fact they drooped the A i wanna say...)is no longer the reincarnation of King Arthur but an annoying sidekick to Allie aka King Arthur! Will's step brother (but he's really Will's half brother! And the reincarnation of King Arthur's wicked Half Brother! or at least he was in the book...) is actually one of the good guys, there to protect the reincarnation of King Arthur from the reincarnation of his evil half brother!but the teacher that helps in the book is actually the bad guy in the movie! I am so tired of people butchers Meg Cabot's books given the fact she's my favorite author of all time! Oh and Will is British! >.< I have nothing against the cast, they are good Actresses and Actors! I just hate this movie with a passion!
I was really disappointed with this movie, I through it wound be more like the book that Meg Cabot wrote but turns out to be totally different, with only a few parts from the book. I didn't like how the ending of the movie turned out to be, with all the characters being totally different, i mean how does the main character (Ellie) become king Arthur's reincarnated when she is in fact meant to be the lady of the lake. also Marco apparently becomes the good guy when hes meant to be the evil half brother, thats what really ruin it for me... it cud have been made a lot better, sorry for the bad review but the book was really good.
I've read the book and I just saw the movie and pretty much the only character they got right were Jen and Lance. Mr. Moore was supposed to be Merlin, Marco was supposed to be Mordrid (I don't even know was he's supposed to be in the movie) Ellie was supposed to be The Lady of the Lake (no one had that part in the movie), Will was supposed to be King Arthur and there was no Miles. The mismatch of the characters almost completely destroyed the movie for me. It was a good movie, but if they had just gotten the characters right, it would have been a LOT better. I don't see why when a book turns into a movie, a LOT of things have to change, it usually ruins the movie.
