Arthur the King

I remember seeing this incredible real-life story in the media a few years ago, and was really pleased to see that it had been taken to the screen. The movie is exceptionally uplifting, has some strong competitive/adventure drama, and gives great portrayals of teamwork and camaraderie under arduous conditions. Arthur really is a special dog. Why and how he followed, caught up, and stayed with the race team is a heart touching mystery. It's amazing how much impact he seemed to have on the team. Arthur the King will definitely make your eyes glisten. Who can resist an inspiring movie about a wonderful dog?

3.5 out of 5 stars. Arthur the King is a pretty fair adventure film following Michael (Mark Wahlberg) who his team go on a endurance race thats 400 mile some race that takes them across the Dominican Republic. While during the race they come across a stray dog that guides and follows them through the race. Plot was great. It has a bit of heart with Michael bonding with the dog during the race which the dog saved one of them from falling off a cliff. While they travel through rough terrain. The story can be a bit emotional for animal lovers. It has a great cast ensemble lead by Mark Wahlberg. The direction could have been better which was a bit generic for a adventure movie. Its a wonderful story just the direction did not offer anything new.
