Movie Reviews of Wizards
Movie Review: An Old Favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
As a teenage kid devoted to wargames and D&D when it came out, I loved it. It had it's rough spots with repetitive animation and rotoscoping, and some general plot weirdness, but the dark and weird take on fantasy was great fun. Some bits stuck around in my circle nearly as much as Monty Python and the Holy Grail moments. "Fritz! Fritz! They killed Fritz!" etc.If it comes out on DVD I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
The official reviewer is an idiot. Bakshi's Lord of the Rings was a great disappointment after Wizards. It did neither his own Wizards or the LOTR books justice.
Movie Review: Wizards
Summary: 5 Stars
.... If your a Ralph Bakshi fan, ... then you will no doubt enjoy wizards. Forget abou the previous reviews, especially those that point to the rotoscoping technique as being old fashioned and point to anime films 30 years later for comparison!!! Wizards is, animated with style, and the story IS worthy of a repeat visit. Nevertheless, if you do appreciate something different, Wizards is worth the time. It is interesting animation particularly the way it is put together, and if that is not enough the soundtrack should keep you going until the end.
Movie Review: Ahead of its Time
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of modern animation, Wizards is an underground gem that you should dig for. Quirky, clever, cutting and cool, Wizards is a FSF lover's film from the smart-alecky elves to the beauty of Montagar. This is grown-up animation made long before CGI, back when what the Japanese were doing looked like flip books with nothing animated but the mouths. No, nothing looks 'real'. It isn't meant to. Where's the fun in that? Maybe it's not for everyone, but this is a movie I love and want to share with those who will appreciate it.Movie Review: Wizards
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw Wizards in the theater when it first came out; this was back in the Stone Age before theaters became multiplexes. It was an innovation in animation at the time. Oh sure, Jerry danced with Gene Kelly, but that was live action and animation together. Wizards incorporated animation and live action animated over, giving the story a bit more "realism".
Since then, I have watched and gotten such movies as Rock and Rule, American Pop and Fire and Ice.
If you enjoy Japaneses anime, you will enjoy these as well.
Movie Review: A true psychadelic classic
Summary: 5 Stars
If you don't know what a psychadelic classic is, you probably won't care much for this. For those of us who remember the original Heavy Metal, Disney's Fantasia, and other "trippy" animated movies, this is another of those movies that we would kick back and relax with our favorite blend and watch on a Saturday night with our best friends.
The animation isn't much, by today's standards, but the story is great and the memories are even better. I'm glad that I have it for my collection.....
