After the first Merlin mini-series (which got showered with nominations and what not) I thought that Merlin II was going to be great as well.
I was wrong.
Not only are we left with a lot of questions, things could also have been explained more (the Forest scene with Brianna, Jack, Graham and Yvonne for example and the Lady of the Lake... she puzzled me, compared to the first Merlin mini-series), and some should have been completely left out (the kissing scene between Graham and Yvonne and Jack and Brianna... it was... odd and it really didn't fit in the time period.) The special effects were so/so.
The acting was terrible, even by veteran actor Sam Neill, who didn't seem to have fun with this movie, like he had with the first Merlin one.
And even though John Reardon (Jack) is a pretty boy, he had some strong points in this movie, but he was a total let down otherwise.
