Despite how much the actors of this movie must have tried, it was not very good. In comparison with the book this movie is based off of, many scenes and important characters were left out. This movie turned many emotional and dramatic scenes into hilarious scenes. My favorite scenes would have to be the ones of "Mithras" being portrayed as a gymnast doing cartwheels over a bull and the scene where Merlin acts as a possessed zombie with his hands in front of him, telling others to follow him. I would not recommend this movie to others, unless they have read the book. It does help you to better understand some of the more confusing scenes of the book, but without reading the book, it is very confusing.
