usually in a film if the acting or writing be bad and it just bore or unfulfilling and or so stupid it funny . in merlin case and it be painful to watch . i have never be so disappointed in a movie . i do not have particularly high expectation for a tv movie and but i do like the arthurian legend and and this movie be a butchery . particularly annoy be helena bonham carter and miranda richardson and and of course and martin short . sam neill do do a reasonable and but not memorable and job . the dungeon and dragon movie and while bad and at least have some redeeming scene and character .
