DVD Reviews of Merlin (Special Edition)
DVD Review: Quite good.
Summary: 5 Stars
When this was first aired on TV I recorded it onto a VHS tape and watched it plenty of times after. I have yet to read any other reviews of this product on this website, many of which appear to be a bit disapproving, but I've always enjoyed this movie. It can be a bit silly at times, but I find it most often to be very watchable and fun. DVD Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie, and I had been searching for it in local stores for years. Now that I finally was able to get it and sit down and watch it... It was just as awesome as I remembered it to be :)DVD Review: Merlin - another twist
Summary: 5 Stars
Nothing wrong with the movie. The kids did not care for it, but will stay in the collection none the less. DVD Review: A different view of Merlin
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this mini-series despite it's handling of Morgan La Fey as a deformed idiot with a speech impediment. It was a little campy, but in a good way and I thought Sam Neil was a wonderful choice for Merlin. All in all they did an decent job with the smaller small screen budget and seeing people like Rutger Hauer (long among my favorite actors) in it was a bonus.DVD Review: It is worth of it's price
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm glad that I had ocasion to bought Merlin.
I can recommend You this edition.
Description of Merlin (Special Edition)
What kind of guy was the wizard Merlin, anyway? He lives a long time, raises a boy to be a king, props up a Utopian empire with his magic and wisdom, and then watches as it all crumbles under such banal forces as vengeance and betrayal. This four-hour miniseries re-tells the story of Camelot and King Arthur from the perspective of the magic man who sacrifices a great deal to guide mortals toward a better destiny. Sam Neill plays Merlin as an accessible, flesh-and-blood fellow of real passion, powerless to undo the spell of a rival (Rutger Hauer) who has virtually imprisoned Merlin's great love, Nimue (Isabella Rossellini), but gifted enough to counter the treachery of Morgan Le Fey (Helena Bonham Carter) and the wicked Queen Mab (Miranda Richardson). The battle sequences and special effects are striking and original, and it is great fun to see such art-house movie actors as Richardson, Carter, Neill, etc., in fantasy entertainment the whole family can enjoy. (An unrecognizable Martin Short must be singled out, however, for a wonderful, largely dramatic performance as Mab's sidekick, Frik.) Directed by Steve Barron (The Adventures of Pinocchio), Merlin is a nice bit of glossy revisionism of a beloved legend. --Tom KeoghGeneral DVDs
