Two words: Merlin's Apprentice. Why, oh why, when the first one was so good, did the "sequel" have to be so bad? i agree my dad taped this for me and watched it at the same time and was just bringing it down big time!! It was quite boring i fast forward to maz bits!

Yes that's the one...Don't know why it has two titles? Maybe one is UK and one US. I guess I should really watch it again, I was a lot less discerning all those years ago. It's actually getting the time to sit down and watch something that I didn't particularly like that's the dilemma!! I'd rather just watch Merlin or Dance To the Music Of Time again... xxxxxxxxxxx

Look it up as 'The Mad Monkey'...I'm thinking that's the UK name. I found mine in a second hand shop for a quid, I saw it in the window when I was on the bus so had to get off to buy it! The things I do for Miranda... xxxxxxxxx

I really like this topic, since I've often wondered about it. Films I would not have seen, had Miranda not been in them - probably those movies which really don't cut it for me (say.. action films such as "Get Carter"?... or stuff like that anyway...). I would only have watched them, if I happened to stumble over them and what would the possibility have been? Films I would not have liked, had Miranda not been in them - any of the movies she's acted in would have lost a lot of their value without her. "Merlin", for instance, would be completely different without her - I can't even begin to imagine another Queen Mab! In fact, none of her movies would have had such an impact on me, had it not been for her. Films I can't really talk about - with or without her: does "Merlin's Apprentice" ring a bell anyone? I can't say anything about it - or its characters for that matter: was it Mab... Lady... Miranda?... (I'm still puzzled whenever thinking about it). So let's just not go there. Well... and that's where I rest my case. ...I think

There's a lot of widespread hate for MA - I'm counting myself lucky that I saw it a long time ago and can't remember much about it. But don't get confused, just put it down to canon rape.

It was still kind of traumatic (disconcerting, disturbing you name it) - so I'm not opening those wounds

Films that would be VERY different w/out Manda:
Merlin (who else would have played Mab? really think about it... WHO else?? I mean, what she did with the character is simply beautiful. The voice is the icing on the cake. No other actress could have brought that to the movie!) Sleepy Hollow Alice and Wonderland Snow White The Hours (i love it. but i heard Miranda didn't. wonder why. . .)
Films w/ Manda that aren't particularly to my liking:
Merlin's Apprentice (Don't ever watch this movie. Ever.) Chicken Run The Prince & Me (EW. Julias Stiles.)
Films that I wouldn't have watched had Manda not been cast:
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (HP makes me angry.) Phantom of the Opera (I prefer the play if I do say so myself. It has a special quality that a movie just doesn't bring, you know?) Fred Claus (yes it is not out yet, but it is most certainly a film I would boycott if she wasn't in it. I do plan on seeing it now, though.)
;D

thank god someone knows what i'm talking about! Miranda was fantastic but it just seemed like the other actors didn't have a strong enough voice for their role. if you know 'Phantom' then you figure that they want voices that resemble the original cast (which are impossible to find) and they tried, but there is a striking difference.
