Merlin (Rik Mayall) casts a spell that transports the two opposing sides to be imprisoned in another dimension where they remain for 1500 years until a scientist, Joan Maxwell (Tia Carrera), in our time, makes contact with Mordred, and in exchange for the promise of unlimited power, works to free him into the present.
Merlin it seems lives in a small village and is regarded as an eccentric by the locals, and is trying to stop Mordred from breaking free.
You’ve probably guessed that this movie is not aimed primarily at adults but more towards children, and at a guess I’d say aged six to about twelve would be the ideal age group to appreciate it.

 King Arthur Primer: Merlin
Geoffrey gave his character the name Merlinus rather than Merdinus (the normal Latinization of Myrddin) because the latter might have suggested to his Anglo-Norman audience the vulgar word "merde." In Geoffrey's book, Merlin assists Uther Pendragon and is responsible for transporting the stones of Stonehenge from Ireland, but he is not associated with Arthur.
Merlin falls victim to the spells of his own apprentice, Vivien, who may have been the Lady of the Lake.
In Geoffrey's conception, Merlin is the son of a nun of royal birth, engendered by a demon; this half-human origin becomes over time the source of Merlin's prophetic powers.

The movie is narrated by Merlin himself as an old man, retelling the events of his life until it finally leads up to the present.
Sam Neil is Merlin, a half-human sorcerer created by the evil Queen Mab (Miranda Richardson) to be used in her army in order to bring back the old ways of civilization, where magic and spells dominated over religion.
Merlin is powered by dazzling special effects, although not always crisp and nowhere near the caliber of "Lord of the Rings." Regardless, the style is unique and emotional.

 BoomBoom Review - Merlin (TV - 1998)
Merlin is convceived of woman, without the input (no pun intended) of a man, thus making him a surrogate for Christ and a fantastic analogy is drawn wherein Merlin becomes the savior and redemption of the flawed mortals that inhabit Camelot.
When Nimue is scarred (due to the interference of Mab) by dragonfire, Merlin whisks her off to a convent where she patiently waits for him to finish his business of perfecting the British monarchy.

 IMDb user comments for Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders (1996)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Despite being the title character, Merlin does little in the movie except release evil artifacts into the world and collect them later while getting nagged by his irritating wife (If that's what she is. Their relationship is never really made clear in the movie).
This movie is filled to the brim by horrible acting, atrocious dialog, and some of the most laughable editing since Ed Wood's legendary day/night/day scenes.
Entertaining a kid who suffers from bouts of slow-motion, Merlin is approached by an uppity reviewer for the local paper who sports a superiority complex and a wife who he hates for not being able to get pregnant (again, this story's being told to a kid).

 Filmtracks: Merlin (Trevor Jones)
Merlin's action sequences are rousing and hugely symphonic; Jones uses some of the bass drums from track two of Last of the Mohicans and a variety of percussion to create a diversity that lacks in some of his other scores.
The other bad thing about Merlin is that every once in a while, apparently when Mab enters, there is this metallic "ding." I didn't notice it at first, but after a few times through the album, the "ding" started to get to me.
The Titanic rip-off music used in the NBC commercials for Merlin (and during Merlin's commercial break announcements) is not included on this album and was not composed by Trevor Jones.

 Excalibur (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uther is aided by the shadowy enchanter Merlin, who gives him Excalibur, the "sword of power", which he takes from a hand rising from a lake.
Merlin, still physically encased in Morgana's crystal prison, appears to Arthur, and tells him that thanks to him, he is back in the land of dreams, where he (Arthur) is now.
His portrayal of Merlin as an eccentric man with a strange way of enunciating particularly struck some as cheesy, while others loved it, seeing it as a deviation from the standard stereotypical image of the wizard as a wise, venerable old man (as portrayed in books and films by the characters Gandalf and Obi-Wan Kenobi).

 Merlin (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Merlin is a 3 hour made-for-television movie released in 1998 that retells the famous legend of King Arthur from the perspective of the wizard Merlin.
Merlin, however, accepts the imminent demise of pagan magic and superstitution and focuses instead on trying to bring peace and order to the land by counselling promising warlords such as Uther Pendragon against Vortigern, and Uther's famous son King Arthur.
Although the costumes used in this movie appear to be more historically accurate than those found in John Boorman's famous film Excalibur, there are also sprites, a dragon and a talking mountain (voiced by James Earl Jones) that ensure the magical element is well-represented.
