Merlin: The Labyrinth of Gedref (2008)
Iconic
I think seasons Season 1 and 2 are the best of Merlin, and the UNICORN episode is peak. It simply does not get any more epic than the Labyrinth. Arthur is as ignorant as possible regarding magical superstition, yet he still manages to outwit Merlin at the end. I love these characters so much. You can always rely on the duo to fill your heart with their bromance. I love the wizards costume and I love how cheap the "unicorn" looks XD. So much charm in this show.
Arthur being so casual in the face of death is one of my favourite aspects of the show, arguably even more admirable than Merlin. Constantly willing to die for his kingdom and his friends.
Do Revenge (2022)
Well done Netflix
Positives
-Good pacing. The 2 hours flew by quickly for me.
-Well acted. There wasn't any performance that felt jarring/out of place.
-Clever writing. Especially in the latter stages of the movie, I found it unpredictable and questioned who I should be "supporting". It didn't feel like the narrative was trying to shove any agenda down my throat about morality or progressive culture.
-Good final act. This seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I thought the final 3rd was good. Half way into the movie we are told, a "distraction" has cost someone their future. But the film ends by proving this person wrong, and the clear message, is to let go of narrow minded thoughts we have about our individual lives and our relationships.
Negatives
-1 action scene had noticeable poor cgi
-1 relationship with Maya Hawke went from 0 to 100 real quick. Although that relationship wasn't the focus of the movie. I also presume Netflix wanted to keep the movie below 2 hours long.
