Customer Reviews

The decline and fall of magic.

This is an excellent complete tale of King Arthur, known in Britain as “Merlin's Revenge: The Grail Wars,” which is told in three episodes streaming. It puts all the movies you watched in chronological order and fills in details that may have been missed. I stumbled upon this TV series while looking for Rutger Hauer movies. Little did I know that it had all my favorite actors and more. Usually, a movie like this that has many well-known actors is designed to showcase out-of-work actors. But not this one, as it had actors in their prime and not just cameos. The big plus was having Sam Neill as Merlin. I have read many of the books, including Mallory's "Morte d'Arthur." So, I was amazed to find that this version of Merlin was well written by Edward Khmara, David Stevens, and Peter Barnes. The actual production is of Merlin telling one big flashback of his part in the mythic history of Britain. Even if you know the story backwards and forwards, you cannot miss this version. It is over before you know it.
