Sorry Merlin, I can't hold back the tears until it's over

This film, also known as the logistics staff, should not run business casually. At present, it seems that the most complete line should belong to Merlin.

The bad review said that in the front, because the plot of the whole work is too densely arranged, the amount of information during the viewing process is too large, and there is also a feeling of big-name overflow in the casting. Just like some bad movies studded with superstars, works with too many bursts often end up without bursts. So on the whole, this film probably deserves a passing score. The action scenes are still very good, and the Hollywood traces are much heavier than the first one.

Bad reviews are bad reviews, and when facing Merlin's last scene, tears still couldn't be held back.

silent guard

King Arthur's close friend and mentor, although he failed to enter the Knights of the Round Table, he must not be separated from him. In Wang Nan, Merlin's identity and role are the same as in the legend. He is second only to the male lead and Harry in this series, and his stable output is basically the guarantee for the smooth execution of tasks ahead. When the male protagonists of the first and second movies were down, it was Merlin who stayed by his side and never gave up, and finally achieved the reversal.

Merlin's description of Batman is actually quite appropriate: he is a silent guard, an alert protector.

change of heart

From the beginning of the story, Merlin showed excellent professionalism, and even a little cold at the beginning. In this one, Merlin is standing in the rain holding an umbrella as the male protagonist faces the ruins of the destroyed house. Facing the male protagonist, he showed an emotional breakdown in line with his age and experience. Merlin said that he warned the male protagonist in the sound of rain, saying that thinking about the training you have received, the task is the first for the agent. As for emotions, you can only cry silently when it's all over.

Of course, it didn't take long for this forbearing old man to break his skills, drinking whiskey with the male protagonist and crying like a dog.

Sister GINGER's suggestion obviously touched him. Although he didn't say it on the surface, Merlin still prepared a whole set of equipment for him to go out to the field, including carefully selected cold weapons for melee combat. It's great to finally be able to fight side by side with my best friend. The three people shuttled through the subtropical bushes, ready to solve the big villain.

The darkness is about to pass, and the light is about to come through the gap.

Country road

When Merlin sang his favorite country ballad and calmly faced the encirclement and suppression, when Merlin cut off the plant as a cover with his carefully chosen knife, when the arrangement of the symphony sounded, the logistics agent on his first mission was about to towards the end of your life.

Merlin once told the male lead that he liked American country music when he was drunk, and then sang this song. In fact, I also learned this song when I was reading, because the lyrics are simple and the melody is catchy and easy to remember. Originally, the style of the song was brisk, but when it was sung by Merlin, there was a trace of tragic and solemnity in the overly serious firmness.

Country roads, take me home, to my final home.

To Merlin.
