Which would you say are the best Arthurina (movies/tv series) if I’m looking for Merlin characterization?
Hello! I am answering not privately so that people can add their recs, as I am not the best to rec good Merlin characterizations (I am not a big Merlin fan). Still, these are the ones I liked!
Movies with an interesting Merlin characterization (In bold the ones that I particularly enjoyed and that were nice movies):
- Arthur and Merlin (2015) – Merlin is actually one of the two main characters.
- Avalon High (2010) – Interesting teen Merlin in high school, side character
- Merlin and the Book of Beasts (2009) – The usual wizard Merlin helps… Arthur’s daughter rise to power
- Merlin and the War of Dragons (2009) – a weird (not good) movie, but the bit with Nimue and Vivian is very interesting, I loved it. Also, Merlin is the main character
- The Excalibur Kid (1999) – this is one of my fav movies among the ridiculous low budget ones. Loved it, and Merlin is pretty funny.
- Merlin and the Sword (1985): This movie has everything! And the Merlin – Nimue love story too.
- Excalibur (1981): This is a classic of arthurian movies. Not one of mu favourite ones, but it is regarded as one of the best. Merlin is the best character of the movie, inmho.
Tv shows and miniseries with an interesting Merlin characterization (in bold my fav among these ones!):
- Merlin (1998), this is one of the most popular miniseries and Merlin is the main character. I am not an enormous fan of it, but it is very well regarded.
- Camelot (2011): this series has so many problems, but Morgana and Merlin alone make it worth it.
- Merlin bbc: I don’t think this need an introduction!
