This was a made-for-TV movie aired on NBC in the late 90s. And for TV, a large budget with great actors, an excellent script and beautiful filming on location around the UK and Ireland. "Merlin" gives a different perspective of the Arthurian tales, that of a disinterested wizard who just wants to be human and live a normal life. Of course that can't happen. Sam Neal gives a believable turn as the famous Merlin but it is Martin Short's role as the gnome Frik that you will remember. I have used this 3-hour video in my 8th grade English class, breaking it into 4 parts. Students usually rate this as one of the best lessons of the year. And having seen it more than 50 times in 13 years, it still holds my attention.
I have always loved this movie. Anyone that loves stories about King Arthur and Merlin, they should purchase this movie, it's wonderful

For a made-for-TV Hallmark TV special, Merlin doesn't act like it's supposed to. A large big-name cast incuding Sam Neill, Helena Bodham Carter, Martin Short and James Earl Jones. Special effects that don't belong in a decade old production. A interesting and involving story that mixes the best of medieval times and fantasy magic. Merlin has all of these and while three hours is along run time, never once does there seem to be unnecessary or boring scenes. Definately pick this one up, especially if you missed it the first time.
Been looking for this Hallmark edition. It has the directors commentary. Very informative and entertaining. Great condition. New. Great price.

This is a very good movie and the effects are just great. Any kid would love to see this movie also....It's Funny, it's cute and interesting to watch. I am an adult and I enjoy watching this as these kinds of stories fascinate me. Of course the battle between good and evil amoung wizards and witches has to come to an end and you can guess who wins of course. Good clean movie and a good bit of funny parts too. Knights of the round table and all that good stuff. Good movie
