Title: Awful, but good for a few laughs
Review: This one won't go down as one of the classics based onliterature. Somehow I wasn't surprised by the forgettable writing, directing, and acting. Knowing how many bad King Arthur movies have already been made, I didn't expect much from thisone. I don't mind if liberties are taken when making screenadaptations of books, just as long as it is done so withrespect and retaining the flavor of he original. Merlin does neither, merely proceeding to distort the facts.On the flip side, there was a lot of comedy to go around. Talking animals, Neill & Short seeming more at home with the Laurel and Hardy crowd than anything else. Merlin, however, was never intended to be a comedy making it all the more frustrating for viewers who are expecting good sword and sorcery.
