Title: Merlin: a refreshing visit to the Arthurian Legend
Review: First, I didn't like the latest version of King Arthur. Pulling out the VHS of Merlin proved refreshing; the sweet in contrast to the bitter. The VHS, I rated three stars, I added another star as the DVD would included added features not included on tape.The good news is that Merlin consolidates a number of variations in the legend to provide a linear story.The bad news is this is a story that has to be watched in one setting, and with attentiveness: in other words w/o distractions. Too many little items link the story together.The magic is represented through good special effects, although there are more background characters then explained in the plot.If you want the legend; you will want Merlin in your collection.
