Title: Even as a TV-movie, "Merlin" leaves much to be desired.
Review: Already hailed as a wasted, 4 hour event taking 2 days to air, "Merlin" is going need more than an all-star cast and a catchy musical score to redeem itself from low ratings hell ala Nielsen. As if the poor acting wasn't bad enough to send loathers of poor-quality cinema to the bathroom, they had to throw in the cheesy spec. effects and comical script to complete the deal. I can understand that even though "Merlin" is historically flawed, people still enjoy this film....just as much as I can understand why there are people who enjoy ridiculous films that innacurately portray Adolf Hitler as a saint with as much of a pathetic storyline. That, however, still does not change the fact that "Merlin" along with those other movies are, and will always be BAD.
Is the review positive or negative?
