The company of the Bears vs. The evil wizard
Merlin and the Book of Beasts is a film for television very recently. The entire film seems fake sequel to a movie much more interesting. Too bad that the movie much more interesting there.
The plot is simple.
A terrible evil wizard, Arkadian, Camelot wins stregoniera and with the help of a forbidden book called the Book of Beasts. A group of horsemen in pursuit part of Merlin, the only wizard that maybe he is still alive.
The vouchers are four: Galahad, an idiot with no personality or depth, his son Lysanor (barely a brat penalty of majority) and the anonymous Tristan (son of Tristan and Isolde random). The other rider is completely covered by armor and does not see his face. Unnecessarily covered by armor, for a pure need for suspense. The mysterious knight
unable to find Merlin, and finally reveals his identity: Avlynn, daughter of Arthur and Guinevere, beautiful, blond, strong, courageous fighter, but also sweet. And 'the ultimate Mary Sue.
(follow random moments where you must prove that Avlynn fights and is strong so that the evil wizard then send them a formidable knight to defeat. Ah, and is JDHSJHD Avlynn in love with her, but she can not give in! Absolutely not!)
The group of Care Bears come soon to the lair of the wizard, Camelot. Merlin is able to inturfolarsi to do something that is not understood well.
fact Merlin is a strange man. Completely different man with a white beard (The Sword in the Stone) or sarcasm druid (Excalibur), we meet a bum who does not look neither wise nor intelligent. Talk with words mysterious, certainly, but just because you do not understand what he says because it seems to have cotonfioc in the mouth.
However, Merlin reaches the lair of the evil wizard and, surprise!, We find that is the evil wizard Mordred. How he survived Camelot? It 's still a mystery.
The rest of the film is a take-and-run between Mordred and the company of Care Bears and then the final battle. But to proceed
points
In a nutshell ... What is wrong?
Since I love lists (they all seem so simple) here's one that lists things in a few words that I did not like the movie.
1. Avlynn is a Mary Sue and it is unclear where it is checked.
2. Galahad is flat, as intelligent as a cup of coffee and cute as a burnt toast for breakfast.
3. You do not understand anything of what he says Merlin, with his mouth mixed. It is also a tremendous person, a demented magician rather than a test. A coward and a cold.
4. Avlynn sees his half-brother Mordred die without batting an eyelid. Also, do not even try to convince him to think to mend their ways and, after an initial surprise to the family, accept it as enemy.
5. The story proceeds with difficulty. The plot is not linear.
6. Mordred never see the light of the sun, a real shame because the actor deserves (and us fangirls).
7. Some scenes are unnecessary, unrealistic (okay, it's a fantasy but some are ridiculous) and put there just to give suspense like a movie for children.
But there is something positive!
1. Avlynn, despite its veneer of Mary Sue, is anonymous enough to dampen the strength, beauty and elegance typical of Mary Sue. It is therefore fairly nice. In addition, worries, even if only briefly, his brother Mordred.
2. Mordred is a good character. For Mordred-fan, of course. Physically it is very fascinating, also complex enough to lend credibility to his father's revenge and his thirst for blood. Explains why he hates his father and his crazy air is perfect.
3. Lysanor is loosely nice.
4. There are some very suggestive scenes. Mordred is always in the shadows and some parts are very beautiful and scenic. Even the scenes that takes Avlynn Excalibur.
5. Avlynn that fights against itself is a nice idea, maybe not original but well done.
6. The fact that Mordred kisses and is slightly attracted by the half-sister. Why positive? Because of yet more misery to the thickness and character of Mordred. Like Mordred who is not a cold.
7. The idea of a post-film Arthur. I always wanted to see one (though I would have preferred to have done better).
Finally. If you want to spend a nice time without specific commitments: watch it.
If you're a fan of Mordred, I recommend it. If only we could cut the power and horrible end ... (In which Mordred, of course, dies in an absurd way).
