Title: Slop-Fest '98
Review: Very sloppy, indeed. This show could've done without half of the sequences filmed. At 1 1/2 hours I would've given 2 stars for a much better film. Now I have no choice but to grade it 1 star. English-speaking horses + toe tapping broadway numbers in a castle hall is not my idea of a medieval fantasy. It's bad enough with Camelot and Kid in King Arthur's Court that we don't need anymore new additions to the ever-growing list of cheesy fantasy flicks. Bypass this one if you can. Movies with the best portrayals of Merlin that I can recommend off the top of my head are 1) Excalibur, 2) Merlin of the Crystal Cave, and 3) Any of the numerous documentaries on Merlin available.
