Movie Reviews of Merlin's Apprentice
Movie Review: A New Spin on Camelot
Summary: 4 Stars
This film looks at the time after Camelot when Arthur is no more. Merlin is trying to figure out what happened to Camelot when he finds a young man who shows signs of hidden magical talent. As the film continues Merlin trains the young man who will later take over for Merlin in an attempt to restore the ideals and place of Camelot.
This follow up is well done and it is great to have Sam Neil back as Merlin.
Summary of Merlin's Apprentice
This finds camelot in vulnerable disarray since the theft of the holy grail. Now the only one who can find the grail & restore camelots glory is an irascible young beggar-thief who discovers magic within himself. Studio: Platinum Disc Llc Release Date: 01/29/2008 Starring: Sam Neill John Reardon Run time: 185 minutesA fanciful sequel to the successful 1998 miniseries Merlin, this 2005 multi-part series benefits greatly from Sam Neill's return performance as the legendary wizard. Taking place some 50 years after the first film, Merlin's Apprentice partners the magician with a young thief with untapped magic powers of his own (engaging Canadian actor John Reardon) in a quest to recover the lost Holy Grail, which holds the key to Camelot's protection and survival. Miranda Richardson, who enlivened the '98 production as the ferocious Queen Mab, also returns to provide some necessary drama as the Lady in the Lake. Solid production values (bolstered by the lovely Vancouver locations), confident direction by Hong Kong veteran David Wu (Bride with White Hair 2), and an abundance of fantasy-action make this a worthwhile adventure for fans of the first miniseries and sword-and-sorcery features in general. --Paul Gaita
