Plot: This four-hour fantasy miniseries, elaborating on the Arthurian legend and filmed in England and Wales, offers a portrait of the wizard Merlin (Sam Neill), following his life as a youth (Daniel Brocklebank) to his later conflicts with the evil Queen Mab (Miranda Richardson) and his love for Nimue (Isabella Rossellini), who is kidnapped by Lord Vortigern (Rutger Hauer). Amid battles and displays of magic and mysticism (courtesy of London's Framestore and the Jim Henson Creature Shop), Merlin strides the English countryside encountering Excalibur, the unbreakable sword, and a Camelot cast of colorful characters including the morphing manservant Frik (Martin Short), Morgan le Fey (Helena Bonham Carter), King Arthur (Paul Curran), Lancelot (Jeremy Sheffield), and Guinevere (Lena Heady). Premiered April 26, 1998 on NBC. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

When this was first aired on TV I recorded it onto a VHS tape and watched it plenty of times after. I have yet to read any other reviews of this product on this website, many of which appear to be a bit disapproving, but I've always enjoyed this movie. It can be a bit silly at times, but I find it most often to be very watchable and fun.

I love this movie, and I had been searching for it in local stores for years. Now that I finally was able to get it and sit down and watch it... It was just as awesome as I remembered it to be :)

Merlin - another twist

Nothing wrong with the movie. The kids did not care for it, but will stay in the collection none the less.

A different view of Merlin
Added 2/1/2009
I really enjoyed this mini-series despite it's handling of Morgan La Fey as a deformed idiot with a speech impediment. It was a little campy, but in a good way and I thought Sam Neil was a wonderful choice for Merlin. All in all they did an decent job with the smaller small screen budget and seeing people like Rutger Hauer (long among my favorite actors) in it was a bonus.
