Movie Reviews of Leprechaun
Movie Review: DAVIS IS JUST WAY TO MUCH FUN AS THE LEPRECHAUN
Summary: 5 Stars
LEPRECHAUN
I can't help it but I love this movie and will always even though it is not really technically the greatest movie ever. But how can you not love this popcorn fun with a wee Leprechaun who is on the evil side of things. This movie is just too much fun plus it has Jennifer Aniston in it that is always a plus. We always have fun watching this one and to be honest I have fun with every film in this series. This is the type of movie that you have to accept for what it is, and it is straight B level fun for sure.
The story is easy enough to follow as a man gets home from a trip to Ireland and has a bag full of gold. This is the type of gold you find at the end of a rainbow with a little Leprechaun attached to it. Well as a matter of fact he did have to get this from a wee one and now it is after him. He eventually with the help of a four leaf clover locks the Leprechaun in a crate and there he sits for years. That is until a group of people including Jennifer Aniston end up accidentally letting him out, then the fun really begins. As they try to come to terms with what is after them he starts to pick people off one by one in a lot of fun ways. In fact the scene in which the Leprechaun is pulled over by the police is absolutely classic.
This movie is nothing but popcorn fun and we have writer/director Mark Jones to thank for that. Man I love these 90's horror flicks because most of them were so much fun and did not take themselves seriously. Don't get me wrong I love the serious ones as well but you have to love films that are made for just the pure entertainment factor. The film looks good and has that 90's feel to it, man I miss them days. The deaths are really fun in this film and are over the top greatness, anything with an evil Leprechaun is over the top [lets be honest].
As for the acting in this movie it is great for this type of film plus it is fun to see a young Jen Aniston. But it is with out a doubt Warwick Davis that steals the show as the Leprechaun, man he was absolutely the perfect person for this role. His style, voice, and smile, and of course laugh make the character come to life. Ken Olandt was good in this as was Mark Holton who was great in the film "Gacy". Robert Gorman, Shay Duffin, and every one else were good in this movie, every one fit their role.
I happen to find this movie to be very entertaining but this movie will not be for everybody. I think it is a nice reminder that we need not take every film so serious because we could be missing out on a good time. When this film came out in theaters it made way more than its budget back so it was a success. Is this movie perfect, no, but it is a nice break from reality. Do I recommend this movie, yes indeed, but only if you want to have a good time.
Summary of Leprechaun
A monstrous leprechaun goes on a rampage when his bag of gold coins is stolen.Genre: Horror
Rating: R
Release Date: 17-AUG-2004
Media Type: DVD
This is the 1993 horror movie whose little Irish monster was frequently quoted by late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien: "I want me gold!" Sure you do, pal. Diminutive actor Warwick Davis (who played an Ewok in Return of the Jedi) plays a creepy, killer leprechaun wandering an American suburb in search of the gold stolen from him. Woe be to anyone who inadvertently gets in his way, including Tori (Jennifer Aniston) and her pals, who somehow have to get their hands on a four-leaf clover (what's wrong with a yellow moon or pink hearts?) to stop the dinky demon. Not exactly a promotional campaign from the Irish Tourist Board, Leprechaun is nevertheless good, silly fun. --Tom Keogh
