Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com Nothing touches the original, but this sequel is still good children's viewing. Rated: 3/5 Mar 2, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 14, 2005 Full Review Eric Lurio Greenwich Village Gazette Okay, I agree since the first one had only half the book a sequel was acceptable, but this wasn't.

Pantera O "Something tells me I'm not in fantasia anymore" Cuando su papa conoce a una mujer, Bastian regresa a fantasia mientras lidia con su nueva hermanastra. Decepcionante. Perdida. Irrelevante. Parece que falcor entro en drogas. Una terrible copia del material original, que se pierde en un aburrido sinsentido. Dudo que alguien en sus 5 sentidos haya visto esta peli y dicho, wow, que buena peli. Me recordó al comercial japonés konsome panchi. ¿Entretiene? La historia nunca termina Técnica: 3.3 Expresión: 2.9 Efecto: 4.2 Experiencia: 3.0 Calificación: 3.3/10 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Arildo R O primeiro filme precisou ser sombrio e o segundo é de pai para filho. Este terceiro é ideal para as crianças com um retrato da geração MTV. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/24 Full Review David W The original Never Ending Story was a classic. Part two was terrible and sadly so was this. How they managed to mess up the sequels so woefully is one of life's great mysteries... Pathetic. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Um excelente divertimento. Pude ter a oportunidade de rever recentemente e é tão engraçado e divertido quanto antes. Destoa completamente dos anteriores e é uma aventura de ação e fantasia naturalmente mais leve. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Absaloutely terrible. Avid fantasy fan and have major loyalty to the original Neverending Story.. I even watched the second and didn't hate it. But this is total garbage. I couldn't stomach finishing it. Between the cheesy dialogue and rock biter/stoneman bursting into song (!?) What were they actually thinking. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review robert p Absolutely nothing to recommend this rotten movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
