Movie Reviews of The NeverEnding Story III - Escape From Fantasia
Movie 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!
