Title: The William hung of Arthurian Fantasy
Review: Like the American Idol reject, Merlin is chock full of SFX to wow the pre-schoolers for its obligatory 15 minutes. There isn't much beyond [that] the stale script and wooden acting can save from the rubbish heap. The one-dimensional storyline appears to run in circles. Sam Neill's portrayal of Merlin doesn't develop much, as his disposition at the end of the film is almost the same as it was in the beginning. In every good story there is a protagonist and antgonist who struggle against each other until an end is met. Britain was still no better off after the people decided to turn against Mab, their designated villain. Now, I wonder how many brilliant minds it took to brainstorm such a lame plot. Probably the same people who came up with the carbon copy ending in The Karate Kid 2.
