Review of Arthur & Merlin (2015) by Private U — 08 Oct 2015
I know it's major point of advertising was "We based this on the same thing that Tolkein (partially) based Middle Earth on!" so when the plotlines intersected I took no issue. But when the visual style and the score (Oh my God the score) struggled to get as close to the style of the Lord of the Rings films as they could without literally being sued for copyright infringement, the embarassment was near fatal.
The title is of course willingly misleading, and the effects and acting are underwhelming on the reg. Otherwise, "Arthur & Merlin" is what I would call "Just okay".
