This movie feels very much like something college students would put together, the acting isn't believable, and the story is a poor adaption. So many things they could of done if they had the creativity or ambition. Still managed to get through the 1 hour and 50 minutes, but i wouldn't recommend this to others. I understand that people want to support these independent films but they should still be honest. You don't need millions of dollars to make a creative or interesting movie. Stop trying to be a big Hollywood action movie! I did enjoy some of the locations, and not all of the acting was terrible (most of it was) but the casting was awful.
P.S. I am a big fan of king Arthur and merlin and i still didn't enjoy this movie.

Honestly, I have seen far worse adaptations of the Arthur/Merlin legends. The acting is pretty amateur but it's a passable story.
I actually quite enjoyed the score. Kudos to whoever was responsible for locations.
A chosen one bestowed with what seems to be an impossible mission is rich fodder for any storyteller. This fertile premise has proved successful many times over and has stood the test of time with unforgettable protagonists such as Moses, Jesus, Anakin Skywalker, Frodo and Harry Potter coming to mind (quite a mixed bag there). And now Arthur and Merlin can be added to this illustrious list thanks to the imagination of Marco Van Belle, et al., and their fresh re-imaging of the Arthur and Merlin story. Production qualities are up there with 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Game of Thrones,' and what they've achieved for new film- makers is commendable. This is a fantasy feature worth watching for any and all ages.
This movie kicks Hollywood b-u-t-t. I can see from some fake reviews that it hurts them badly - a movie with tiny little budget far more enjoyable than marvel-like "blockbusters".
I am looking forward to see the Hollyrottenwood crumble and be replaced with more humble movies like this one.
In Arthur&Merlin you simply enjoy the flow of time and immerse yourself inside the adventure. Special effects are used on rare occasions, but still able to make you feel the story is real. Kind of Game Of Thrones style where acting, story and sets alone do the job, not dumb CGI or hundreds of enemies thrown at heroes every other second.
And please don't get me wrong. This is still economic movie, but very good and very enjoyable for every fan of elemental wizardry :)
Best wishes from Poland! Thank You.

I saw this rated at 8/10 here earlier and thought wow, low budget movie with a genre that I like, with actors I've never heard of.
I had to see it.
Storyline is OK, as it should be as it is based on an ancient story (Atleast I think it is) Actors are bad, sometimes in a comical way, sometimes just in a bad way.
Merlin as a boy in the beginning gives you a cringe on bad acting, but after that its watchable if you like the genre.
There is no "special effects" other than a fog that rises to cover any need for it.
The two main characters have their moments, thats pretty much all there is in this movie.

- TriviaLike most Arthurian stories, this film is set in the Medieval period (the Dark Ages being a common misnomer). It is based on the Celtic myths where the characters of Arthur and Merlin first appeared, making it the most accurate representation of these two iconic characters on screen.
