So here we go again, the story of King Arthur, told this time through the eyes of Merlin. But wait, this time they have CGI technology, so let's face it, there is not much more to contribute to this story.
Telling the story of how Merlin began and ended, making him human, putting him in the center of what is basically a racist quest to destroy the old ways of Briton (which are portrayed as essentially uncaring for humans and needing hatred, violence and despair to prosper) to replace them with the wonderful new ways of Christianity.
The characters are portrayed in a modern way, making their actions more understandable, but also make them less realistic for the context.
The other problem is the special effects tend to be there so you can look at them, basically a hang over from the 1970s era a special effects. But they are not really worth looking at so it would be more interesting to get on with the story.
It is basically an OK version of the story, which contributes little to reinterpret ting it.
Perhaps only interesting for children, but not for the young at heart.
