Movie Reviews of Atlantis - Milo's Return
Movie Review: excelent condition fast shipping great description
Summary: 5 Stars
the movie that i ordered was in great condition just as described excelent price and very fast shippingMovie Review: Three Tales Tied Loosely Together
Summary: 3 Stars
Considering that this "movie" is actually a combination of three stories originally produced for an "Atlantis" cartoon that never came to fruition, I find it to be unfair to judge these adventures as one whole. Instead, I'll give a brief review of each of the three adventures and then summarize the entire movie.
First off, we have Milo, Kida and the gang tackling the mighty Kraken. No, it isn't the Kraken you may remember from "Clash Of The Titans," but a sea-dwelling demon who wreaks havoc in the seas and possesses a small village. The story is probably the best of the three. It is quickly paced and has pretty good development.
The second story is rather boring. It takes place in the American Southwest. A band of "dust coyote spirits" have attacked one of the locals who happens to have found some ancient pottery. Milo's team has to figure out why the "coyotes" are attacking the locals and put a stop to them. The ending of the tale is rather brilliant, but not enough to save this chapter of the entire film.
The final story nods its hat toward Norse mythology. It features a man wanting to destroy the current world and rule over a newer, better one. Of course, he can't do this as a mere mortal, so he uses a spear that is magically inclined and becomes "Odin." If you know anything about Norse mythology, you know that Odin is similar to Zeus, only he rules the cold north. Once again, Milo and his crew have to save the day.
So what ties all of these little adventures together? Atlantis, of course. Using a mythology that ties just about every culture together, we find through these three tales that Atlantis is the center of the cultural universe. In other words, all gods come from Atlantis, and their powers are all knowing and all caring when placed into the hands of the right individuals. It looks like Kida and Milo and his team are the folks intended to control all of this power.
These tales aren't as horrible as others have stated. They just have to be looked at as individual stories and I'm sure you'll get more enjoyment out of them. If you have young sons in your family, they'll probably get the most enjoyment out of this movie. Much like its predecessor, it relies on mythology and technology to move the story along. Those are two things that keep small children(8 and under)from getting to interested in this movie.
In all honesty, I'd rent this before buying it. If your kids enjoy it, then you may consider investing in it.
Movie Review: An average Disney sequel
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all, this one of those 3 episode things that Disney throws out as sequels. I, being a kid, don't much care about this one way or the other, though I prefer whole movies. I even liked Tarzan and Jane, which everyone else seems to have hated. Back to the point here, the story separation isn't nearly as bad. The voices are almost all the same, except Milo, (his replacement voice doesn't sound too bad, though) and of course, Cookie (the guy who voiced him died). The animation is like that of an animated series (from which I think the 3 episodes were taken from). Some may scoff at the idea of them having a cute animal along for the ride, but in this one there is this thing named Obby that they call a lava-dog, who is essentially Milo and Kida's pet. He is a very funny character, and I wish he was in the first one. About the stories, all three of them are very strange. The are all I suppose from a Atlantis animated series (that would be interesting) which has not or will not go on the air (I read that somewhere). All in all, it is an average Disney sequel.Movie Review: Good but not as good as the first movie
Summary: 3 Stars
I was surprised by this movie. It was a Disney sequel, and it was not awful. It was very episodic, but that was because it was made out of the only three episodes that were made for a proposed Atlantis TV series. Perhaps the most disapointing thing about this movie was that the wonderfully talented Michael J. Fox did not return as the voice of Milo. If you did not like the first film or if you thought the first film was merely average, you should not even bother buying this. If you loved the first film, you will enjoy this movie.Movie Review: Television Pilot
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie was really the first three episodes of a series based on the movie. After the movie pulled in weak returns in the theaters, the series was scrapped. However there episodes made and thus merged together to be this movie. The series would have featured Milo going all over the world and running into other characters from the movie. Pendding the sales of this movie, the series may get the green light.
