i personally loved this movie, i especially loved Edward Woodward aka The Equalizer, as Merlin and i thought Candice did an interesting job as Morgan, she portrayed Morgan as having a really bad day with a hell of a chip on her shoulder but decent none the less. even though i don't typically like ones that put her in a bad light. i liked this since i was a child and i still think it is a charming movie, true it was done low budget and is nowhere near the blockbuster Excalibur was but still worth seeing. is is great if your interested in the story of Gawain and Lady Ragnell's relationship sice most films don't even mention the two of them. and it of course includes the romance between lance and gwen. i liked the spunk they gave to gwen in this, a girl that has some fight in her who yells no when her captors wanted to have their way with her and they back off. so all in all i would definitely recommend this film, especially if you are like me and like edward woodward. great brit actor.

OK, I maybe the only one to say this, but this was a great movie for it's time. It's a great Classic movie in my opinion. I've watched this movie since I first saw it on TV in 1985. I copied it with our first VCR at that time, and have since worn out that tape from watching it. Since then I have had two other copies of this movie. I think I've watched it about 30-40 times and shown it to countless friends, who agree that it was well done considering that it was made in the 80's. But, it goes to prove that the classics do live on with those who love them. I have to admit though that some will like the movie and others will hate it because they think it's to old and out dated. But, for those who like Arthurian stories it's good and also different. I have always thought this movies was better than Excalibur by far. I became a big fan of Malcolm MacDowell after I first saw this movie. The only problem that I had with it was the actress who played Guinavere was really not that good of an actress in my eyes. She didn't seem real to me at all. Ah, but Rupert Everette as Lancelot, was hot!

I saw this movie years ago on the late show - was switching channels and came across Dyan Cannon in Stonehenge... that piqued my interest... and then there was Malcolm McDowell and Liam Neeson... and Edward Woodward as the great wizard Merlin... this movie is Grade Z, but the cast is fantastic... this is one to invite friends over, crack the six-pack and heckle. I'd love to get a copy for this reason alone. I'm surprise MS3K hasn't picked on it yet!

Probably the worst movie ever inspired by or blamed on Arthurian myth, this features some talented actors struggling valiantly with terrible miscasting (only Dyan Cannon as an American tourist seems comfortable in her role) and an awful script. The sets look cheap and stagey, and the only entertaining thing about the whole film is how laughably bad the special effects are. This is so utterly without redeeming features that I can't recommend this to anyone - fantasy fans, fans of any of the actors, not even lovers of bad movies.
