Okay, so I just watched this. This post will contain spoilers. Sooo.... it wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be. Actually I found it quite enjoyable, and Miranda, as always, hot. I remember some reviewer saying she looked 'her age' in this one, and if by that said reviewer was talking about the beautiful lines around her eyes, then THANK GOD FOR THAT. Because she is amazing and gorgeous and hot. And wow, there were some interesting moments in that. Interesting echoes between LotL/Jack and Mad/Merlin. I really really really want to see the scene that came before the Lady conceived, seriously. >.>. Maybe I should write it. Also have this little bunny about the sisters in the Land of the Dead being all like 'what the fuck, sons!' Should write that too. The ending of this, though. WTF. The last ten minutes was like the most contrived shit I have ever seen. They should have cut it off with the grail and the new camelot. Really should. Honestly, I thought the pig was cute if a bit random throughout the film, and then it started TALKING? ! That was just..... no. Seriously, where did they pull that shit out of their arse? If you have to use a talking pig to get your point across, the film should be over. Really.

LOL< I very much agree with the last part of your review.
But what is this I hear? The creeping ideas of new Merlin-related fanfic? Yes indeed! You must write it!!!

Oh, I just watched this also! And I agree you you. Judging it by it's own merit, it wasn't a bad movie.
And you should definitely write! ;D

I'm a little afraid to watch this almost..becasue well I've only heard bad stuff about it.But I strongly suspect my curiousity and love for Miranda will get the better of me eventually.

i watched this film solely out of curiosity and to check one Miranda film off my lists of ones to see. i must say i was disappointed. i am not going to encourage you not to watch it, but i think you will be disappointed at the least.
in my opinion, it also isn't one of her best preformances either. i just really didn't like the whole thing.
but i was ondering if it was on youtube/could anyone put it on youtube so i could watch it with Rita Oh Yes's points in mind. thank you.
p.s. wrtie. the. fic.
;D

A convo with several fellow Mirandatians has reminded me to also put in a request for a hefty amount of Mab porn. ;D

I think you have to watch it as a stand-alone. It's not really a sequel, despite the presence of Sam and Miranda. There's no mention of anything that happened in the first one - it's as if Nimue never existed, for one - and there's a rather gaping plot hole between the two films (at the end of Part one of Apprentice, for those watching from home) which stops Apprentice from being a follow-on.
Worth the watch, though. I like seeing Merlin as a teacher - I think one of the lines Jack says mirrors young Merlin, too. 'If there is some spark, fan it' - is that ripped straight from the original? It sounded familiar, but I don't have a copy of Merlin on hand (don't actually own it, for shame). Interesting how he, like Mab, is full of his own wisdom and arrogance and won't accept that the new generation will decide things for themselves.
PS. working on the Sisters in the land of the dead idea. Cracktastic.
