Although this movie was really bad in most departments (except the music) there's one terrific scene involving flying skeleton/ghosts. Also worth seeing is Bergin and his team in full armour attacking a lorry with swords. "Merlin, The Return" should have been directed by Terry Gilliam. It has the look and feel of those awful children's afternoon TV fantasy dramas (bad acting, uneven scene changes, poor photography, music too low in the mix, pantomime quality costumes).
