Movie Reviews of Merlin's Apprentice
Movie Review: Not a sequal, just another story.
Summary: 5 Stars
I hate seeing the spotlight reviews with negative comments. This was not a continuation of the story we were given, but also the last mini-series was a tale told by Merlin himself, and Martin Short's character Frik says that it was not how he remembered the happenings. This time we view the events after the Death of Arthur, when evil seems to overcome the goodness that King Arthur and Camelot has now for hundreds of years we all keep in our harts. What makes an Authurian story good is by reminding us of this.
A new cast & crew does not bring about the magical presence of before, but each cast member creates a different artform for their characters in this "day after" action story. We are shown the flaws and goodness of characters who will rise to become the next heroes of Camelot. This is what makes the magic for this movie. Merlin is not the same character, he is more bitter and carries guilt of the fall of Arthur, much like the Merlin in classic writings. Do not judge this movie because it is not a sequel in general terms, judge it as its own art and its own story.
Their is hope for goodness when Camelot rises again. For with a new story comes new heroes. The Arthurian Legend grows with a new action-packed film.
Movie Review: Good movie.

I was sitting in my bed bored, so I flipped through my amazing basic cable. I found nothing interesting of course. But then I cam accross this movie. So I figured: "Hey, I'm familiar with the whole King Arthur, Merlin, Camelot story. Plus I love Medieval movies." So I watched it and it was very interesting. I'd suggest this movie for anyone who shares the same interests.Movie Review: Merlin's Apprentice

A new slant on the Merlin tales. A fun and predictable story that leaves room for a prequel or a sequel.Movie Review: Loved Merlin - Liked the Apprentice
Summary: 4 Stars
I was thinking of buying this sight unseen but saw such horrible reviews on Amazon that I thought it must be a bad, or worse, a horrible movie. I rented it through Netflix and really enjoyed it. If you expect it to be a sequel of the Merlin on NBC several years ago, you will recognize Miranda Richardson and San Neill and that is about all. I almost wander if someone has an ax to grind with someone associated with the movie to rate this so low here on Amazon.
Fortunately this is a movie that stands on it's own merits. I watched the movie last night all the way through (180 minutes). I bought it today. Netflix rates this movie about 4.25 stars, which is what I would rate it if you could "cut a star" on Amazon or Netflix.
I admit it that I love things Arthurian and this movie did not disappoint me. Most actors gave good performances even though most I did not know. The script, although not a sequel of the first movie, was well written.
