...it feels padded and overlong, with an awful lot of running about that doesn't achieve or communicate much. Despite it attempts to engage a sense of enchantment and mystery, it is successful only in brief bursts, and viewers cannot live on grit alone.

Rated: 2/5

Slow-paced Arthurian tale has some fantasy violence.

Arthur and Merlin is a triumph of British independent filmmaking and a modern fantasy staple. Van Belle has conjured an atmospheric adventure, full of quirky campiness, rollicking good humour and, most importantly, fun.

Rated: 7/10

Tubi Trash Reviews: It's watchable. It has a little action, some interesting moments, and an ending. The acting is good to tolerable.

Where to begin..? The script is clumsy, trite and full of misuses of 'Celtic' terms one of the team has read at some point in the past - but almost universally misunderstood - and misapplied. They misappropriate 'druidism' and oh my lord the fight scenes are truly tragic. the two lead characters make a half decent fist in terms of performance - however they are let down by almost everything else... I fell asleep twice. There are some excellent stories regarding Merlin and Arthur that they could have better used than this nonsense - To sum it all up - the two magical figures in the film end up in effectively a fist fight... lame.

It was ok overall, but it had so much potential as you kept waiting for the special effects or something amazing to happen during the story

Merlin looks good but the acting is very ordinary and the dialogue, banal. Very suspicious of the authenticity of the story. Some details were pleasant enough. I especially liked the magical incantatory tongue, but I wouldn't pay money to watch this cliched, lacklustre production.
