      Sam A Not massively exciting, but the scenery is what made it watchable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Waste of 90 minutes. Worst rendition of merlin I have ever seen. The mumbled delivery of the semi welsh / west country accent made it hard to pick out some of the dialogue. The plot was dreary and the effects had all the hallmarks of a low budget TV movie. Truly awful. Avoid. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The only good thing about this movie is that it's not bad enough to become a cult classic, hence it'll fade into complete obscurity quickly! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 2016-05-12 Arkadian is Mordred Pendragon (illegitimate son of King Arthur and witch Morgan LeFay, who made herself look like Lady Guinevere to trick him into sleeping with her). And he wants to sleep with his half-sister Avlynn, ugh :( The guy who plays Merlin is awful, not even a good grumpy old man. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Dark, wild, and furiously entertaining, with just enough quirk and humor to make it charming and quotable,this movie shows that the Syfy has potential to make more then B-movie blockbusters. Though the second act is a bit slow and the ending bittersweet ( particularly given the likeableity of this portrayal of Merlin ) as TV movies go ( particularly Syfy movies) this one packs enough humor, action, darkness and epicness to make this beastly book worth opening. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A Terrible TV Movie, Which Has A Bad Plot, Terrible Acting And An Extremely Terrible Script. The Film Follows King Arthur's Daughter As She Leads A Band Of Men Against Arkadian (An Evil Sorcerer). Arkadian Has The Book Of Beasts And He's About To Unleash It's Power Over Camelot. Merlin Is Brought In To Do Battle. The Film May Sound Appealing To Fantasy Fans, But This Must Be Avoided, It's Not The Worst Film I've Seen, & This Is Watchable Compared To Some Others, But That Being Said It's Still One That I'd Recommend Avoiding. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
