Review of Arthur & Merlin

I really enjoyed this film, saw the craft and passion that went into making it. It's an indie that was made with very limited funds and still manages to look epic. In this tale, Arthur and Merlin meet as children and their fates are merged then and there. As adults they must combine forces to take down an evil druid. If this film had been made by a Hollywood studio, it would have easily cost 25-50 million. This film was made with 1% of that - the result is a beautiful looking feature that sometimes has a LOTR sweep and sometimes feels like a made for TV family film. I watched it with my kids and they enjoyed it. While none of the actors stood out for me, I have a feeling that the director and the writers will go on to give us bigger and bolder films.
