Anyone seen the movie Merlin!

The one with Sam Neil as Merlin....

I just saw this move for the first time and it is awesome!!

This is a great movie that does not focus so much on the relationship of Guinaveer and Lancelot

It focuses on Merlins battle with Queen Mab

I loved it

Yeah, that was produced around 10 years ago by Robert Halmi who produced a number of lavish TV mini-series based on classic fantasy stories. "Merlin" was very good, but "The Odyssey" was perhaps his best, featured a brooding performance by Armand Assante. "Gulliver's Travels" was outstanding, as well, despite the fact that Ted Danson as Gulliver was woefully miscast. Yet, the social/political satire from Swift's original novel held up exceptionally well.

Halmi produced a few clunkers, as well, IMO, "Alice in Wonderland" featured a good performance by the actress playing Alice, but the overall production just proved once again that Alice in Wonderland is impossible to adequately transform from novel to screen. But Halmi's worse had to be "Noah's Ark" featuring a numbingly bad performance by Jon Voight as Noah. Since then Voight has become THE celebrity impersonator on screen, everyone from John Paul II to Howard Cosell -- and doing a gross injustice to every one of them! Proving that the only good thing that Voight has produced since "Midnight Cowboy" was Angelina Jolie.

Halmi also produced "Moby Dick" with Patrick Stewart as Captain Ahab. Stewart was fun to watch, but nearly impossible to understand because of a thick accent that even a Klingon would find indeciferable! Halmi was supposed to have had a rendering of "Dante's Inferno" in the works, but I guess it was never completed.
