Liked this when it first came out, and still liked parts of it. The knights in their armor, for example, are awkward and slow. this time, though, I didn't like the Nigel Williamson portrayal of Merlin at all, and the special effects world made some of the "set" pieces look like a Disneyland ride. Didn't make it through to the second hour before giving it the hook.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
