Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Leofwine_draca MERLIN AND THE WAR OF THE DRAGONS is another weak and insipid fantasy film from the team at The Asylum. It was shot in the Welsh countryside with a bunch of stars who should never have been put in front of the camera, plus poor old Jurgen Prochnow, whose DAS BOOT days are long in the past. The plot seems to have been made up on the fly and there are bits and pieces of LORD OF THE RINGS thrown into the mix. A couple of the CGI dragon scenes are done okay and if you squint a bit you could suppose that you're watching GAME OF THRONES. I'm being charitable.

robin_hood86 I hope this films budget was so low they could not even pay their actors. There is absolutely nothing good with this film. The actors cannot act and most of them seriously needs some tweezing. The "special" effects are outdated. The plot is more predictable then an episode of Murder she wrote. This film could have been entertaining if the people making it at least would know they were producing something so bad it dos not even warrant a straight-to-DVD release. But doing slow motion fight scenes to hide the lack of choreography and blurring the screen when the dragons are shown to hide your lack of a special effects budget is just really pathetic. If you want to watch a decent Merlin film, get the mini-series from 1998. Not only has it a better plot and actors, but it seems that special effects were better 10 years ago.If they make this into a trilogy I will resign from mankind and go live with the two horrible, but kind of cute, Lady of the lake actors in their cave.

info-11159 Yes, this is a low budget film ... but I must say, if you watch this film carefully and with an open mind.. I promise you , you'll enjoy this as much as I did. Old fashioned filming takes place to bring the story of Merlin alive.Set in the beautiful landscape of North Wales , UK this film is complimented by talented local acting that support Jurgen. The special effects are believable for most part.. if the budget was bigger and the film time scale , greater , I'm sure we would see a great film ... not a very good film.... The horses were lovely to watch. The action scenes were pulled off , well done to those involved!! Can't wait for the sequel!

kelong_2000 This film is a story about merlin as a youth. This is an interesting premise but the actual film was a disappointment. the script dialog was bad and should have been worked a little bit more to improve the movie. The film's flow between scenes was not smooth and the editing was bad. The part about this film that really annoyed me was the cinematography. The composition of the film's scenes was really bad. The camera shots did not make any sense. For example, some of the battle scenes were not focused on the action but off center. One could consider it an attempt to be "artistic", but it was not. Overall the film was very amateurish and not worth my time.
