Negative Positive
Title: Unimaginative and lacking
Review: Unimaginative because the producer had to borrow parts of the storyline from several modern day movies, most notably "Pretty Woman" -- according to various sources I've read. Lacking in character development, because we don't know that much more, if not less, about Merlin than we would traditionally have. 30 minutes was wasted on a romance that never developed much all the way through to the end. That's 30 valuable minutes which could've been used to improve other parts of the movie, or the rest of the movie to be exact. 3 hours later, the viewer is left wondering "What was the fuss all about?" A waste of talent and film on a storyline which would not have seen the light of day were the executives at NBC not drunk all at once.
Is the review positive or negative?
