    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com essential video
    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 Keogh

    5 out of 5 stars Great movie version of Merlin   January 22, 2010
    L. Guinn (CA, USA)
    I like this version of Merlin very well and Sam Neil for whom I remember best as Grant in Jurassic Park does a wonderful job portraying Merlin. The story pretty much plays out much like most other King Author and Merlin movies but this is not just another Excalibur or King Author - Merlin clone, where this version of the story stands out is how its told and the different outcome of the movie ending.

    If enjoy these fantasy type movies, its a must have for your collection, this one in particular is getting harder to find. Merlin

    This is an excellent DVD of the classic mini-series. Difficult to find a copy these days, but if you like the days of King Arthur you will want to add this one to your collection. Excellent casting and filming bring this classic to life.


    5 out of 5 stars Merlin Season 2--Love it!   January 14, 2010
    Estees
    Merlin Season 2 is even better than season 1! The episodes are exciting and you see a lot of characters evolve toward what they will become in the future... Romance for Gwen--who should she choose Arthur or Lancelot?; Morgana finding out her powers and Arthur developing into the future King of Camelot!

    5 out of 5 stars Quite good.   March 10, 2009
    C. Bailey (Washington D.C.)
    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.
