Arthur and Merlin is a triumph of British independent filmmaking and a modern fantasy staple. Van Belle has conjured an atmospheric adventure, full of quirky campiness, rollicking good humour and ...
Arthur & Merlin shares many camera shots, and even plot points, with Jackson's fantasy masterpiece (aerial shots of running across windswept landscapes, a king falling into the fog of dementia at an evil sorcerer's hands, etc.).

This movie is by no means horrible. It reminds me of a better than average pilot for a TV series (albeit one made in the 80's), or could even pass as 'part-one' of a mini-series.
Apr 4, 2016 · Arthur and Merlin, a 2015 movie from England, is just such a surprise. It’s an unexpectedly fresh take on the Arthurian story, enlivened by sharp writing, great performances and an approach that mitigates the low budget; you don’t feel cheated of epic battle scenes because the story doesn’t lead you to expect them.
