- PhysicalMedia4Life16 juli 2026With the recent passing of the late & great Sam Neill. I thought it would be fitting to review a movie of his, that imo is his most underrated & overlooked. This 2 episode Mini-Series is the best movie adaptation of Merlin that I've ever seen. It felt like Sam Neill was born to play the role of Merlin. He's absolutely phenomenal as the iconic wizard!! And all of the acting from all of the other main & side characters is absolutely fantastic all across the board as well. I love the whole fantasy & mythology elements to it as well. This looks and feels like a high budget movie from a big movie studio, not a 2 part made for TV Mini-Series. From the groundbreaking special effects to the polished looking cinematography! Merlin is Sam Neill's Hidden Gem 💎 a 💯 It has great pacing, great dialogue that's delivered with such conviction & meaning from Sam Neill especially. And at the heart of it has a very good story and character developments & arcs. I also love the whole production design & aesthetic to this hidden classic. The Merlin 1998 Mini-Series if you haven't seen it before pleeeeeease 🙏 watch it; it's the best adaptation of Merlin that you'll ever see without a doubt its awesome!!!

In dit klassiek verhaal over Goed en Kwaad blikt de oude en wijze tovenaar Merlijn terug op een roerig verleden. Een verleden vol oorlogen, maar vooral een verleden waarin hij en Arthur de duivelse heks Mab, Koningin van de Duisternis, verslagen hebben. Merlijn, ooit door haar gecreërd om het leger van het Kwaad te leiden weigerde dit, waardoor een felle oorlog tussen de twee het logische gevolg was. Merlin is ook het sprookjesachtige verhaal van koning Arthur, de Heilige Graal, de stad Camelot, het magische zwaard Excalibur en de vele legendarische verhalen die hierover de ronde deden en nog steeds doen. Een uniek en legendarisch sprookje gefilmd met een grootse cast!
