Movie Reviews of The NeverEnding Story II - The Next Chapter
Movie Review: Zero stars - this is total trash
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm actually kind of dumbfounded. Words to describe this miserable failure... I just wish you could hear my grunts and moans of anguish after watching this the other day. And that ONLY because it was a double-feature that came with the original Never Ending Story (which is a priceless classic.) Horrible acting. Plot that was doo doo. Pee pee special effects and puke character development. This movie is going to be in hell with Satan and his angels and those who do not obey Jesus Christ.
But what I really want to know is: WHY?!?!?!??!! Why would they do this to the original! WHY?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
A dumb bird-guy who I guess is supposed to be a flying chicken or something? Falkor with bronchitis? Atreyu replaced by a lower-paid immigrant? (Actually the kid who played Atreyu was about the only person who could have done well in a compitent sequel.) Tri-face? The dumbes name EVER. The "high five scene" was not even funny when I first saw it at the theater when I was 8. Water that's acid? Why? And why doesn't that factor in to anything later? The dancing people in the Crystal City... why? Why were they so lame/French? Their dancing sucked. Even in one scene one of the "dancers" stops dancing and actually looks at the camera as if he doesn't know what to do after stopping. Then he ashamedly enters into a conused "dance" and then the scene ends. Atreyu dies from rolling a little bit? We went through worse in part 1! And if that killed Atreyu then Bastian assuredly should have died from his later fall off the horse! UGH!!!!
The sad news is that part 3 is even worse. EVEN WORSE!!! Also reserved for hell fire.
Summary of The NeverEnding Story II - The Next Chapter
Based on Michael Ende's classic children's book this sequel finds the young hero Bastian encountering new adventures in the magical world of fantasia. In this sequel to the 1984 film our young hero again bored with the real world returns to his storybook's magical land of Fantasia and attempts to slay the evils that threaten the extinction of goodness. There he finds a special brand of courage within himself a reminder of the eternal optimistic child within us all.Running Time: 89 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC:?085391327820Filled with a few imaginative moments and a child actor who looks like a miniaturized Sharon Stone, II isn't as neverending as the third headache in the series, but it's not on par with the original. Versions of Atreyu, the brave warrior, Rockbiter, and Falcor, that flying, pink, poodle-dragon, return to travel across the storybook world of Fantasia. This time our protagonist and reader, Bastian, is actually in the story the entire time instead of looking on from outside the pages. The interaction doesn't help, as it's the same crisis and the same story line (well, okay, he is reading the same book), but at least the film is not as unrelentingly melancholy as the first one either. Children may be frightened by the "giants," large dung beetles on two legs, that threaten our heroes. --Keith Simanton
