Merlin is loftier on magic and thanks to the generous running time too high on mythos. Many absolutely delicious performances keep the story well afloat amidst outdated visuals.

Bravely incorporates alliterations from the original text. Just the early analepsis hampers this curtailed and true-blue accommodation.

The archetype story of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table.
Stars: Felicity Dean, David Robb, Andrew Burt, Maureen O'Brien
Votes: 42
Ample running time allows many smaller famous acts we have rarely seen, withal sometimes the movie feels a bit perfunctory. Claustrophobic cinematography fails to obfuscate depression-central production values, but the interim is acme-notch.

Lots of knightly action and a well matured dearest triangle. The virtually magical thing here is a bar of soap.
96 min | Adventure, Fantasy

Director: Jud Taylor | Stars: Sheryl Lee, Sean Patrick Flanery, Noah Wyle, Brid Brennan
Votes: 288
A low budget spiritual predecessor to the Mists of Avalon. Based on Woolley's novels, it gets quite talky at times.

Director: Henry Hathaway | Stars: James Stonemason, Janet Leigh, Robert Wagner, Debra Paget

Harmless adventuring with sparse Arthurian references and a dense array of massive Viking horns. Visually very loyal to the comics - they only forgot men's lipstick.

Votes: 72,470 | Gross: $37.60M
A very loose adaption with an A-list love triangle and heaps of general silliness. I questioned the pistol crossbows at first, but then realised that they actually might be effective against those Star Trek uniforms.
PG-13 | 126 min | Action, Risk, Drama
A demystified take on the tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
Director: Antoine Fuqua | Stars: Clive Owen, Stephen Dillane, Keira Knightley, Ioan Gruffudd
Votes: 165,878 | Gross: $51.88M
Suberb production values, cartoon characters, dismal plot. Owen is peculiarly bad, only then once more the script gives him aught more than than pep talk to piece of work with.
164 min | Drama
A star-studded TV production of the archetype tale past Mary Stewart which follows Merlin downwards through history to the days of King Arthur.
Stars: George Winter, Trevor Peacock, Roger Alborough, Robert Powell
Votes: 69
Interestingly set in the times before Arthur, this is a flake more serious than the nearly contempo young Merlin series. Historic name-dropping, cute Welsh scenery and clunky acting.

Director: Stephen Weeks | Stars: Miles O'Keeffe, Cyrielle Clair, Leigh Lawson, Sean Connery
Votes: 2,235
After a very stiff intro scene, the plot becomes a hodgepodge of kittenish gags. I would have preferred this to be "The Legend of the Green Knight and the Greenish Knight Only". Connery's chest hair lonely has more charisma than the bodybuilder protagonist.
17+ | 126 min | Action, Adventure, Drama
