Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
demelzawinters I got to say that I am a huge fan of The Neverending Story movie. I enjoyed the first film and it brings back my childhood. Then the second film? I loved it as well. This third one? Why the bad ratings? I freaking loved it to be honest. And the mini series? Yeah I loved it as well. I guess not everyone is a huge fan of all but I am a true fan. Anything that has to do with the whole thing I will love it just because it's an amazing films. Who cares about the ratings? I don't. If anyone tells me not to waste my time watching it I'm ignoring them cause I will watch them again and will love it. I'm going to get all my friends and family to watch all the films as well.
perfectway76-901-658919 I checked this movie out earlier today out of curiosity after reading the reviews on here. Wow!! I'm still shaking my head over how incredibly bad it is!! Too bad I can't give this movie a 0. All the reviews are true. At least I saw it for free on youtube so the only thing I lost was time. Well that and braincells. I didn't even care about the characters, not any of them. This movie is incredibly boring-- non-existent plot & nothing makes sense. The characters are annoying, one-dimensional & too cartoony. The whole movie is a weird combination of trying to be funny & hip but serious at the same time, which of course fails because the viewer can't make heads or tails of this mess. This miserable excuse for a sequel doesn't belong on the same planet as the wonderful original, which i'll always love & can't wait to see again!!
MorbidMorgan Fans of The NeverEnding Story are likely to be disappointed by this third installment which differs completely from it's predecessors in turns of characterization and tone. Whilst the first sequel may not have lived up to some expectations, it did at least contain that same sense of wonder and fantastical charm that enriched the original. This third entry abandons our awe in favor of gags and goofs. Bastian this time around is played by Jason James Richter of 'Free Willy' fame. His father has remarried and he has subsequently acquired a teenage step-sister. It's not long before Bastian and his extended family are caught up in Fantasia, his land of imagination. Particularly when a group of comical high school bullies, led by Jack Black, steal The NeverEnding Story book and create havoc in both Fantasia and our world. The creature design this time is by the Jim Henson workshop. Sadly, their renditions of the inhabitants of Fantasia and indeed their personalities are inconsistent with the previous entries. For example, Falkor is reduced from being a noble and brave luck-dragon to a whiny and cowardly puppy dog. And this is what hurts the film the most. To the younger viewer it will be a mildly amusing affair, but to those who have followed the film series, it will appear to be a complete deviation that will have you aching for the Fantasia of old.The actors all turn in good performances but you feel they would all be best served by a more earnest script that employed plot lines from Michael Ende's novel. Still, it's far superior to the live action television series that would later follow.
anthony-rigoni When I watched a trailer for this movie, I noticed how ironic it is with this quote: "Neverending Fun". Yep, you read that right: "Neverending Fun". More like never ending stupidity! I know what you're thinking: how bad can this movie be? I'll tell you how bad this movie is! This movie is so bad that it makes convicts in a prison look like boy scouts! If Bastian's trying to get to Fantasia(Not to be confused with the 1941 Disney movie), why don't you rename the movie "Neverending Story III: Escape TO Fantasia"?! Are you that dumb?! And why are the villains in the movie a bunch of middle-aged bullies simply named the Nasties? The nasties?!! Did the people who created this movie fell asleep while coming up with the name of the villains?! And here's the worst scene yet: The Rockbiter and his family. What the heck?! There's TV in Fantasia?! How'd ya get TV in Fantasia?! And who knew that the Rockbiter has to sing a song?! What is this anyway, Rockbiter: The Musical?! Why do I even bother watching this movie?! Why, why, why, WHY, WHY?!!!!
