DVD Reviews of The NeverEnding Story III - Escape From Fantasia
DVD Review: Doesn't deserve one star, really....
Summary: 1 Stars
Oh, josh. Words almost fail me. How could anyone except a twisted maniac take a film as wonderful as the Neverending Story and produce a pile of rubbish like THIS as a sequel?
I had read the negative reviews on here, and thought, could it really be that bad, or are reviewers just giving it the same treatment they did Part 2 because it has a few minor differences that can be overlooked with relative ease.
Well, I'm afraid I have to fall in with the majority of reviewers in my opinions. I found a copy at my local library where I checked it out for free, and MAN did it blow! There was yet another kid playing Bastian, who apparently got tired of the dye job and is back to brunette. Again kid's tastes change on a near daily basis at that age, so that much can be easily overlooked. But then we get to the story. Falkor has apparently suffered some sort of trauma to the head, as he both looks and talks retarded. The rock biter is just, well to call it pitiful would be an insult to the word. I don't know how anyone could like this movie, having seen the original.
This movie helps prove a theory I've developed called the Tri-effect. That is, when you have a good movie, and Hollywood bigwigs feel the need to get more money by making sequels, you may get one good sequel, but any after that usually SUCK! Certainly I would warn anyone against wasting their hard-earned money on this pitiful attempt at expanding what didn't need to be expanded.
Two thumbs down for this one!
DVD Review: A complete insult!
Summary: 1 Stars
The original Neverending Story was very close to being flawless. The first sequel had some decent moments here and there, but overall it was nothing special. The second sequel . . . I think I'm gonna puke last night's dinner. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. "Escape from Fantasia" is an insult to all NES fans of all ages! It had a cheap plot, cheap special effects, a cheap script, cheap performances . . . in fact, everything about it was an abomination. And why was Jack Black in this movie? I think he knows better than that! Don't bother purchasing or renting this sequel (in fact, try avoiding it as if you're life depended on it). You'll probably find youself in tears because you actually paid for watching this "movie".
Grade: F
DVD Review: So bad it's good
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this on TV and it amazed me. This movie is so bad that it's actually really funny and entertaining. The puppets are terrible, the jokes are cheesy, and Jack Black gives an appropriately over the top performance. You can all but see him winking at the camera saying "I know this is awful, but let's make the most of it, shall we?"
I recommend this to anyone who likes B movies.
DVD Review: Oy!
Summary: 1 Stars
WOW. The first movie is the only one that is good. However, this one makes the second one look not so bad. If you watch this one, (most likely) you will be disappointed, only watch it once, and regret that you wasted that time and can't get it back. This IS DEFINITELY one, or rather 2, of those times when they really should have left well enough alone after making a first film. OY!DVD Review: Its ok...
Summary: 3 Stars
Ok so this movie looked alot more fake and was not thought out like the other 2 movies. I mean come on falcor didnt even look the same. I didnt like it no where near as much as i liked the first 2.
