Merlin Reviews
Dissapointment, Only reason for 3 stars in Spe-Fx and Short
THIS MOVIE IS VERY DISSAPOINTING. Bad acting, bad casting (Sam Neil should stick with Jurassic Park) and a awful plot. MUCH OF IT WAS VERY INACCURATE and did not work well with what we had heard about Merlin in the past. THE VILLIANESS WAS STUPID as well. She had an extremely annoying voice and killed the guardian of Merlin. This was a problem because they tried to tye this in with the plot which made it more annyoing that it already was.
Ok, now I've griped enough. The reason I gave the film three stars was because I MUST ADMIT MARTIN SHORT WAS EXCELLENT and added some great comic relief to a rather dull and pointless motion picture. But, though he is good, his character is extremely underwritten. The other half of the star goes to the wonderful special effects. The yare very convincing and very good, even if they are added to the stupid and pointless story. I hope the Director comes to his senses and makes the Illiad, because I loved the Odyssey.
Totally Awesome!
I missed this movie when it was on TV, and I totally regretted it. The next day at school, EVERYONE was talking about how great it is. I resolved to see it when it came out on video. When I did, I was totally blown away! I mean, the acting was spectacular *special kudos go out to Miranda Richardson for her fabulous job as Queen Mab, and Isabella Rosselini, for being an excellent Nimue*, the plot was excellently written, and the setting/costumes were fabulous! Some of you biased reviewers *you know who you are* insist that Merlin "doesn't measure up" to Excalibur and that it isn't "historically correct". Gimme a break! First of all, why does Merlin have to be compared to Excalibur? Why can't you people just enjoy it for what it is? Secondly, let me say this loud and clear: THE ARTHURIAN LEGENDS ARE NOT HISTORY! THEY ARE LEGENDS! THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG TELLING OF THEM! Now that I've said that, I hope that everyone reading this will take my thoughts into consideration. If you haven't seen this movie and you like tales of adventure, romance, and magic, I DEFINITELY recommend it.
