Merlin did not exactly have a big budget for this kind of story/genre. And I was not sure if it would stand the test of time. But I would say for the most part it definitely does! I enjoyed the music, costumes and most of the acting. The story was interesting even if there are many other variations of it. It manages to stand on its own. I do have a few negatives...in the story I feel like sometimes they wanted to say too much at once and too many characters were around. Some of the creatures and effects did not hold up too well, although they are not terrible either. Just sometimes it felt as if it did not fit in with the rest. BUT it really nailed some other effects like transformations, spells and fights. The music also kinda sticked with me after watching it. It is so fitting, calming and inspiring. Okay so Merlin is not perfect, but its a very nice watch anyway. If you like fantasy worlds, this definitely manages to immerse you and tells a good story with some cool effects that still hold up. I give this one a 7 out of 10.
