Movie Reviews of Wizards
Movie Review: Utterly Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
You have probably read many negative reviews of this film and I'm sure those reviewers honestly don't get it but this film is actually a fantastic movie not only for its time but for now.
It does get a bit preachy with its pro-environmentalism and anti-war message but at the heart of it is one of the funniest movies with some of the most unique characters of its day and is a goodtime movie except for the hauntingly saddening voice of the narrator.
The bad guys are very, very bad and the good guys are very, very good. This movie may not have the best cinematic value for your dollar but then again it isn't an expensive buy either. See it. Give it a chance and it can fill you with a conflicted sort of sadness and delight that will make you glad you did.
Movie Review: A Lost Masterpiece!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember seeing this film as young kid though I really wasn't supposed too. I saw it with the film LIGHT YEARS another film that I hope will come to dvd in the very near future. This film is basically about a centuries old battle between two brothers. One on the side of magic, the other on the side of Technology. It's basic good versus evil with a bit of social commentary in between. The animation may not be what people are used to now, but it serves it's purpose. I personally like the rendition of the elves. They look more like elves from say ELF QUEST and not the overly tall elves of D&D fame. Pretty good film. Check it out for nostalgia if anything else.Movie Review: War, magic and naked fairies.
Summary: 5 Stars
Wizards is a cartoon movie made in the late 70s, dealing with such adult themes as war, religion, science and hate. At 80 minutes long it surprised me at what it held. The idea is two bothers, one named Avatar and one named Blackwolf, both Wizards, fight for the future of Earth. An Earth full of magic, peace and the ruins of the past. It is millions of years after a nuclear war started by terrorists. Mankind now lives with fairies and elves, mutants and wizards. It is a very wonderful and dangerous place,
Extras include commentary by Ralph Bakshi, an art gallery, trailers and a feature on Ralph Bakshi. Mark Hamill is one of the voices.
Movie Review: Wonderful Songs and Soundtrack .. nice characters
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw WIZARDS, I was enamored by the characters and wowed by the songs and overall soundtrack. I was NOT enthralled at the use of live action rotoscoped (?) nor the use of Nazi images for the battle scenes.It was obviously a Lord of the Rings styled story..I found out years later it was more then a "style".
But the classic if not cult production has long been overlooked when it comes to Laser Videos, Cable Network Sales, Home Video or even DVD until now.
And the music? It was never released as a LP or CD. Andrew Belling, the composer should be recognized for the beautiful songs and underscoring.
EVERYONE ENJOY!!!
Movie Review: Good Movie to watch!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think of this movie as the one that opened the door to all the other science fiction fantasy movies, such as Lord of the Rings. I seen this movie a long time ago, and went looking to see if any possibility of it being on DVD, and yep - Amazon.com had it!! It's so cool how you can find almost anything. The animation in this movie is not the best, but consider the date it was made. I do recommend this movie, it has so many funny moments, and the characters in the movie are awesome. I would really love to see this movie made again, with todays technology and computer animation, it would really be a huge Box office hit!
